Gay Muslims

This Channel 4 documentary shows how the experiences of five lesbian and gay Muslims in Britain challenge the heterosexual bias in Muslim communities and illustrate the diversity within Islam. Tamsila Tauqir reports

Over the sinister introductory music to the programme, presenter Sonia Deol says: ‘Islam is fierce in its condemnation of homosexuality.’ Let’s be fair, antagonism towards homosexuality is no more exclusive to any one community than favouring men, the able-bodied and those with wealth and power.

I admire how they are openly gay (or at least try to as far as possible in their community) and still hold on to their Muslim faith.

Gay and Muslim = Oxymoron.

We also (sent) Lut: he said to his people: "Do ye commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you? "For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds." - Holy Quran 7:80-81

"Of all the creatures in the world will ye approach males". "And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your mates? Nay ye are a people transgressing (all limits)!" - Holy Quran 26:165-166

and what was the end result for not giving up homophilia, before?

When Our decree issued We turned (the cities) upside down and rained down on them brimstones hard as baked clay spread layer on layer Marked as from thy Lord: nor are they ever far from those who do wrong! - Holy Quran 11:82-83

I feel sorry for them that they somehow can't bring themselves to leave a religion that has made it clear it hates them.

The Quran is for all times. Have you not seen around you today the social breakdown of society. I heard that a high court judge said if only people married(men and women), all our social problems will be solved.

No matter what you say homophilia is wrong and contradictory to all the abrahamic faiths.

Think about this. A gay couple adopt a child, and then this child has grown up. he has two fathers. Imagine how he is going to feel. Its morally wrong. Is this what you want for your children. Be honest.
Gay Muslims don't exist.

Here you go. No matter how may priests etc say there is nothing wrong with being gay and christian, they are wrong.

"'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads. - Leviticus 20:13

Jesus, take your hatred elsewhere. Some of us don't give a damn who others love.
Is it the act of homosexuality that is forbidden in Islam or just the thoughts, or both?
