--now lets move on the next level:Gay Marriage--Same Sex Marriages may be officiated by church officials, or anyone else, but ceremonial marriages in and of themselves involve no civil laws and carry no legal benefits or responsibilities.

Let’s talk about Sexual Orientation. Is Homosexuality a Mental Illness or Emotional Problem?

especially since this one ran for 4 pages in the first place!

Most of the people who are still active on QL already said their piece here lol

Also, Owen posted this in relation to a previous post (at that time - a year ago!) and we now don't have any idea what that was!

 

Seems to be a current fad to search QL to find old posts.

ACtually Islam acknowledge a person becoming attracted to the same sex. And agrees that it is very common and desirable among the people at times. However, Islam also tells us to control our desires for the greater good! Which is why being homosexual is outlawed.

 

As homosexual acts are not natural (although some people desire them).

All religions call for marriage...

All religions condemn adultry...

All religions condemn homosexuality...

'they' don't like this...

'they' want 'freedom'..

'they' decide to revolt on the church...break the rules...kick religion away from 'their' lives...

so 'they' start committing & living in adultry...

bring illegitimate children to this world...

but that's not enough....'they' want more 'freedom'

'they' turn to homosexuality....gays & lesbians...

'they' start to live with 'their' homosexual partners

now 'they' want to get married to them!!!

So they are back to square 1: marriage...which they have 'freed' 'themselves' from when 'they' started revolting!

so now we have ended up with:

marriage between males & females is ugly, old-fashioned & retarded!

marriage between homosexuals is nice, cool & open-minded.

 

This is why I have so much respect to Islam. It has always predicted that times will come when 'right' will be considered 'wrong', and 'wrong' will be considered 'right'

...very well presented and, almost, completely flawed.

There is not one word in that well written article which can actually be shown to be true, in other words, proven.

There is no absolute scientific proof that gays are born and there is no absolute scientific proof that they are created. There are indications, theories, extrapolations and plenty of guesses but no proof...for either side. How "gayness" happens is still open for conjecture. I imagine there is more than one way.

There is scientific proof that they do exist now and have existed in the past. We can speculate that there will be gays in the future and that there were gays in prehistory, but we have no way to prove that.

Those articles state opinion, which is just fine since everybody is entitled to theirs. Just don't confuse it with proof.

Behavior and Not a Person

“In short, the gay lifestyle - if such a chaos can, after all, legitimately be called a lifestyle - it just doesn’t work: it doesn’t serve the two functions for which all social framework evolve: to constrain people’s natural impulses to behave badly and to meet their natural needs. While it’s impossible to provide an exhaustive analytic list of all the root causes and aggravants of this failure, we can asseverate at least some of the major causes. Many have been dissected, above, as elements of the Ten Misbehaviors; it only remains to discuss the failure of the gay community to provide a viable alternative to the heterosexual family.” (Kirk and Madsen, After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear and Hatred of the Gay’s in the 90s, p.363)

The authors of this book published in 1989 self-identify as gay. Kirk graduated from Harvard University in 1980. Madsen has taught on the faculty of Harvard University. He is a public-communications expert, designed commercial advertising for Madsen Avenue, and guided strategy for the Positive Images Campaign. This campaign was the first national gay advertising effort in American. The following quote from the introduction of their book along with the title of the book perhaps gives a very strong indication of the authors’ belief in a homosexual agenda. Perhaps this may be their motivation for writing the book.

“The campaign we outline in this book, though complex, depends centrally upon a program of unabashed propaganda, firmly grounded in long-established principles of psychology and advertising.” (Kirk and Madsen, After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear and Hatred of the Gay’s in the 90s, p.xxvi)

These two quotes are just a sampling of many others written in books and articles published by those who advocate for homosexuality or self-identify as gay that may be read on this web site. Larry Houston who is writing the articles on this web site self-identifies as a former homosexual. His story may be read in the section, Larry’s story. This section also includes an article about Larry facing discrimination at Harvard University for being an ex-gay. In the section Overcoming Homosexuality are articles helpful not only to those struggling with homosexuality but also to anyone who desires a better understanding about homosexuality. The section Legal and Political has articles Larry uses lobbying the Massachusetts State Legislature on the issue of same-sex marriage. This section also has documents that were apart of a direct legal challenge to Goodridge, the legal case that resulted in allowing same-sex marriage in Massachusetts by judicial decree, 4 non-elected Massachusetts judges. The parameters of a discussion of homosexuality are best framed in the following way. Who one is, a homosexual or what one does, homosexuality. The support is strongest for the latter. The following quotes are by a man who self-identifies as gay. John D’Emilio is a university professor, author, and a gay historian. He too agrees that it is homosexuality, what one does. Homosexuality is an illegitimate attempt to meet the legitimate need for intimacy in same-sex relationships.

“There is another historical myth that enjoys nearly universal acceptance in the gay movement, the myth of the “eternal homosexual.” The argument runs something like this: Gay men and lesbians always were and always will be. We are everywhere; not just now, but throughout history, in all societies and all periods. This myth served a positive political function in the first years of gay liberation. In the early 1970s, when we battled an ideology that either denied our existence or defined us as psychopathic individuals or freaks of nature, it was empowering to assert that “we are everywhere.” But in recent years it has confined us as surely as the most homophobic medical theories, and locked our movement in place. Here I wish to challenge this myth. I want to argue that gay men and lesbians have not always existed. Instead they are a product of history, and have come into existence in a specific historical era. Their emergence is associated with the relations of capitalism; it has been the historical development of capitalism-more specifically, its free-labor system-that has allowed a large numbers of men and women in the late twentieth century to call themselves gay, to see themselves as part of a community of similar men and women, to organize politically on the basis of that identity.” (D’Emilio, Making Trouble Essays on Gay History, Politics, and the University, p.5)

“I have argued that lesbian and gay identity and communities are historically created, as a result of a process of capitalist development that has spanned many generations. A corollary of this argument is that we are not a fixed social minority composed for all time of a certain percentage of the population. There are more of us than one hundred years ago, more of us than forty years ago. And there may very well be more gay men and lesbians in the future. Claims made by gays and nongays that sexual orientation is fixed at an early age, that large numbers of visible gay men and lesbians in society, the media, and the schools will have no influence on the sexual identities of the young are wrong. Capitalism has created the material conditions for homosexual desire to express itself as a central component of some individuals’ lives; now, our political movements are changing consciousness, creating the ideological conditions that make it easier for people to make that choice.” (D’Emilio, Making Trouble Essays on Gay History, Politics, and the University, p.12)

Inventing the “Homosexual” and Identifiting a "Homosexual" are the two main sections on banap. The above two quotes are used more than once in these two sections. Inventing the “Homosexual” is a historical look of people and events that traces the history of homosexuality. The concept of homosexuality has a very short history, the word “homosexual” was coined in the late 1860s in Germany. The section Identifying a “Homosexual” has articles contianing information by those advocating for homosexuality attempting to to provide support for the ideal of a distinct individual, called a homosexual. In this section you will find information for a biological basis for homosexuality. The section, Bibliography, is an alphabetical list of sources used in compiling the information for banap. The number of sources is large so this section has two articles. One article is a list of books, and the second is a list of journal articles. Thank you for visiting banap.net This web site is regularly being revised and updated. Plans are being made to publish this information in a book form. banap.net is a resource for those seeking a greater understanding of “homosexuality.” Homosexuality is an illegitimate attempt to meet the legitimate need for intimacy in same-sex relationships.

What the homosexual parenting studies do show:

“What is possible, given the collective limitations of these three studies, is to conclude that there appears to be some significant differences between children raised by lesbian mothers versus heterosexual mothers in their family relationships, gender identity, and gender behavior.” (Belcastro et al. “A Review of Data Based Studies Addressing the Affects of Homosexual Parenting on Children’s Sexual and Social Functioning.” p.119.)

“The author suggests that these studies have ignored significant potential effects of gay childrearing on children, including increased development of homosexual orientation in children, emotional and cognitive disadvantages caused by the absence of opposite-sex parents, and economic security.” (Wardle, “The Potential Impact of Homosexual Parenting on Children.” p.833)

“Even in a utopian society, however, one difference seems less likely to disappear: The sexual orientation of parents appears to have a unique (although not large) effect on children in the politically sensitive domain of sexuality. The evidence, while scanty and underanalyzed, hints that parental sexual orientation is positively associated with the possibility that children will be more likely to attain similar orientation - and theory and common sense also support such view.”(Stacy & Biblarz. “(How) Does the Sexual Orientation of Parents Matter?” p.177-178)

It is the two sociologists, Stacy and Biblarz, who acknowledge their bias in that they support homosexual parenting. Stacy and Biblarz admit that there are flaws in the homosexual parenting studies, “We have identified conceptual, methodological, and theoretical limitations in the psychological research on the effects of parental sexual orientation . . .” They believe it is homophobia and heterosexism that prevents homosexual parenting from being on par with heterosexual parenting. So for them it is not homosexuality itself that prevents good parenting, but the society and culture, even though our society and culture today allows unprecedented historical acceptance of homosexuality. What is most surprising of all, are their comments that “social sciences research” is not grounds for determining the effects of homosexual parenting on children in the political consideration of granting parental rights for homosexual parenting. They are sociologists themselves.

“We agree, however, that ideological pressures constrain intellectual development in this field. In our view, it is the pervasiveness of social prejudice and institutionalized discrimination against lesbians and gay men that exerts a powerful policing effect on the basic terms of psychological research and public discourse on the significance of parental orientation. The field suffers less from overt ideological convictions of scholars than from the unfortunate intellectual consequences that follows from implicit hetero-normative presumptions governing the terms of the discourse - that healthy child development depends upon parenting by a married heterosexual couple.” (Stacy & Biblarz. “(How) Does the Sexual Orientation of Parents Matter?” p.160)

“On contrary, we propose that homophobia and discrimination are the chief reasons why parental sexual orientation matters at all.” (Stacy & Biblarz. “(How) Does the Sexual Orientation of Parents Matter?” p.177)

“Even were heterosexism to disappear, however, parental sexual orientation would probably continue to have some impact on the eventual sexuality of children.” (Stacy & Biblarz. “(How) Does the Sexual Orientation of Parents Matter?” p.178)

“Thus, while we disagree with those who claim that there are no differences between children of heterosexual parents and children of lesbigay parents, we unequivocally endorse their conclusion that social science research provides no grounds for taking sexual orientation into account in the political distribution of family rights and responsibilities.” (Stacy & Biblarz. “(How) Does the Sexual Orientation of Parents Matter?” p.179)

“For well over a century homosexualists have dreamed that the invention of the homosexual as a person would ultimately detoxicate homosexual behavior and win a place of equality alongside heterosexual behavior.” (De Ceeo, “Confusing the Actor With the Act: Muddled Notions About Homosexuality”, p. 411)

Believe it or not, I mostly agree with it too. No good can come from people proclaiming about what they don't understand themselves. Religion is, by its very nature, deeply personal. To insult ones religious beliefs, is to insult the very core of that person.

As far as I can see, so far nobodys mind has been changed about anything in these threads. It's great to present ones opinion as long as you realise everyone else is free to disagree. This especially seems to hold true for religious beliefs.

I think the easiest way to keep things relatively civil would be if we kept things on a secular level.

Saud, you have fought and won with due observation on the conduct of a good communicator. I really admire you. I have confidence you can do much to protect Islam and Muslim belief from ridicule.

Two days ago i posted a thread on how to prevent Islam from ridicule and i am glad you are doing it. Although Darude sometimes is i dont know what to say ...

Brother it is necessary to avoid using Quran quotes or Sacred teaching of Islam in forums like QL with elements which are just out to tanish and ridicule Islam out of no where.

Therefore lets use 'nature' 'human rights' 'logical reasoning' to convince others.

In my thread: http://www.qatarliving.com/node/14336 you'll read Quran quotes and i wrote them for Muslims only, I promise not to repeat that again.

I ask you to join my campaign of not giving OTHERS a chance to ridicule and Insult to Islam in QL. I know they may create a chance of their own and satisfy their chieve their ego, but thats them and as they put it, they are free to hurt and heal, and they to continuosly hurt because they don't have 'heal' and don't know how to. I am thinking also of talking to some concerned people to seek their opinion on what should be done in this regard. Its too much and so hurting.

I wish i could convince 'qatari' to filter words like Allah, Quran, Jesus and make sure they're respected, just like filtering the f*** and s*** factors.

It's the high level western womens insitute conspiracy theory to pervert the minds of young women, and to down grade men. Gays are Ok though, they sit on the fence!

I grew up in a poor area too, and most of the kids are trouble making losers now, their kids following suit. It dosen't happen in all cases, yes some choose to do the opposite to their parents, I still to this day completely disagree with my parents, they grew up in a small mining vilage and were ignorant of the outside world, they didn't want me to go to college because they didn't want to support me, so i worked and went to college. It's difficult to say a child will do this or that, but with sexuality you follow what you see to be normal I think, but I never grew up with gays or have known anyone who has.

Hussanmf, taking an interest in sports because your parents are invloved in sports is no where near changing your sexual orientation because your parents are gay.

Actually my mother coached Mens College and High school basketball and soccer, and my father coached hockey, The only thing on TV in the house was sports, and I HATE sports. I refused to be involved in any sports as a child and only now as I have gotten older have I taken the slightest interest in Hockey,more of a national pride thing really. My brother is the same way!

My nighbours in my hometown were both alcoholics, drunk ALL the time, didn't work, didn't do anything but cause problems. Their children don't drink at all and have excellent jobs.

Two of my classmates are from single mothers who got pregnant at the age of 16, both of them are happily married now, one for the last 2 years and one just recently. They are both 27 and no kids yet. Neither of their mothers have married yet.

I have friends who's fathers and mothers are doctors, lawyers, engineers and their children are gas station attendants or work at MacDonalds.

Parents who never touched a drop of alcohol or drugs who have kids that are herion addicts.

Etc Etc.

I can't think of a single person really who emulates their parents the way you say they should.

judging any one but i am not saying being a gay is very good or should be allowed because it is based on love. Human have been doing it and still they knew that what they were doing was not right. It is a desire a person want to fulfil. You can call it a love to fulfil a desire, you know like thief have desires to steal things.

Supporting gay marriage is equal to admit that homosexual sex is right thing to do. Even millions of westerns they admit that it is bad practice.

Now Allah (though i avoided bringing Allah in this matter any more because you do not know HIM and you all continue to insult HIM which i can never bear) wants you to live clean and natural life complying HIS instructions to get heaven and save ourselves from hell. I am not hiding behind Allah and i am not forming my own opinions. Even Darude he knows this since he is muslim. He can tell you better than me about Islam and what Islam wants.

Those who are doing it, no one can stop them and they have this matter with Allah to resolve with. But gay marriages should never be supported. There must be a law who should stop them if they found doing it same as having sex in public which is moraly unaccepted in all countries even if they are husband and wife.

Gay relationship or gay marriages will always remain illegal even if corrupted system allowed them to have it. If anyone thing that gays are not hurting anyone so they should be allowed to do it. They hurt everyone human in this world with this.

Not always, or ever do we folllow what those around us choose to do, we are individual but psycologically a lot of things are learned from those around us, I agee with that.

In terms of suffering children around the world, I don't think you can use this as an excuse for some one to adopt, as in "well they could be dying in some jungle" however this lovely gay couple have have chosen to adoption him/her, aren't they so lucky.

As far as questioning ones sexuality and being afraid to do it, I've never heard such crap. The fact is most don't ever need to question it, look at the world, by far the majority don't have a problem with it.

put someone in ANY CONDUCIVE Environment to become something, and they most likely will be that something, NOT ALWAYS,but MOST LIKELY..

if a kid is born into a familly where the dad and the mom are olympic atheletes, he/she will most likely take an interest in sports...

if a kid is raised by a gay couple , he/she will be inclined to be gay..NOT ALWAYS, but MOST LIKELY!!!

starting from the premise that homosexuality is wrong ( whether morally or for the pure reason of the continuation of the human race, u take ur pick)...i would like to hope that we dont put children in a situation where bieng gay is something they see as desirable !!!:)

is my logic clearer now?

my heart goes out to all abused and neglected children scorpio...

in my mind that has no bearing on my original argument...

hososexuality is a human condition, i accept that bec i have 2...not bec i think it is right...

i simply dont believe young children should be subjected to an environment which could lead them 2 adopt homosexual atitudes out of bieng comfortable with it as something they are used as opposed to doing it bec of thier biological inclination...

no more so than i think young children should not be brought up by alcholics or drug users or abusive parents or criminals!!!

you pick these things up as a child...

i m more comfortable with hoping that children are bieng brough up amongst hetrosexual families with no diviant attitudes or behaviour!whether sexual or otherwise...

i dont think thats a bad thing:)

cheers

like i said,thats my openion...

i m not trying 2 impose it on any one, i m just stating it..!!

Honestly, some people...lol...if children living in happiness, have parents who love them regardless of the sex of the parents, why,why, why take that away from someone because you think it's wrong?

Wouldn't u prefer a child to be in safe home regardless of somebodies sex? Or are you that narrowminded...phhhh!

If kids knowing that they have parents of the same sex is what concerns you, spare a thought to all those sexually, physically, mentally abused children out there who have both a mother and father who don’t give a crap.

If gay couples are raising a perfectly happy and healthy child, what is so wrong and evil about that? If there is love and a happy family involved why is it any of our business to judge? Just let people in living in harmony, they are not hurting you!

so my opinion is Live and let live (i think someone wrote that before) anyway .... and let PEOPLE DO WHATEVER THEY WANT WITH WHOEVER THEY WANT (as long as there are no children and animals involved), if someone is pleased and is having fun with another same sex person WTF that has to do with u!! if you are straight than fine be happy rais your children as you want and let others worry about there children. For those who dont like it IGNORE IT and dont look, as some people ignore you and the fact that you look at other people's wives/gf/sisters as fresh meat. i prefer to have gay people minding their own business rather than straight people staring at me or my wife/sister....

I was raised by my Mom. I barely knew my dad. By some miracle, I turned out to be hetrosexual.

That's the way it works for most people. We do most of our learning based on our own experiences. We get guidance from out parents but,ultimately, what we feel comes from inside.

There is no such thing as "gays are", or "straights are" no more than you can say "Men are", or "Canadians are" or "Qataris are".

Look around. It is not possible to generalize accurately about any group of people. To do so is, at best, silly; at worst assinine and self servingly egotistical.

How about instead of drawing any conclusions about gays, ask them. You know what you'll find? You'll find what they are about as individuals. You will still not have any answers about 'gays' in general.

That's because there are no answers. Every single person in the world is an individual.

Before judging someone you have never met and know nothing about, maybe you can remember how it feels to have someone judge you.

i m not just arguing for the sake of argument gypsy...

u do acknoweldge that young children imitate the relationships of thier care takers..

growing up, i knew my dad was with my mom ( a woman )...

so bieng the same gender as my dad, i sought out women to experiment with...

if i grew up with my dad bieng with uncle tom, i would have probably sought out uncle sam;s son to experiment with...

it doesnt take a genious to do this kind of deduction...

children of gay couples may not know exactlly what thier "parents" do in the bedroom, but they do know that they are with a member of the same sex ...thats obvious enough!

and what i told u in my earlier post is common knoweldge..

for someone who knows gay men and women, i m sure u must have came across the same info at one point or another...

its also documented sychological research ....

and most of all, its mere common sense!

even totally straight males who are brough up amongst straight women, ( but only women ) without a male figure in thier lives, tend to be more sensetive and more capable of understanding female attitudes, and usually in many ways act in a feminine way ( untill they discover that they wont ever get laid that way loool)

any how...

i understand what u r trying 2 say...

i agree in part, and disagree with another part...

no biggy...

take care

Marriage was founded as an institution for a couple to bear children.

Previously in the stone age the new born & the mother would be vunerable to wild animals & wild tribes so a need for man to protect them and get food.

It was kind of like he was responsible for hunting, food etc & she was to take care of the child & house. Just like any other animal-couple in the wild.

It is because of the child that the man & woman had to bind into a contract for Marriage.

If there is no child-birth in question then there would be no reason for MARRIAGE to exist either HOMO or HETRO.

Explanation of SIN:

Unprotected anal sex could give you infection - Since this concept was difficult to explain to people back then it was generally termed as SIN. So in the sense if you do not sin you are clean (disease free).etc.

Similarly for a Hindu it was a sin if he did not wash his hand & feet before eating food. Not only that it was a sin if he did not pour water on the ground around himself & the food ( The wet ground acts like a barrier for any insects from creaping in).

Similarly Adultry is a sin because it can cause jealousy & rage in the spouse & can lead to man-slaughter.

My opinion is we have to live and let live.

Personally I am uncomfortable with homosexuals who flaunt their stuff in public and a lot of them do, they even have festivals for this type of camp activity. There's no need to go over the top and that is when I dislike it, as long as they keep it behind closed doors and respect the feeling of others, then I will respect them.

I have met some whom seem very nice people, but the very act of what they get up to repulses me - that is just not normal.

I did not say that I don't like these people or have anything against them. I'm just trying to answer some of the questions that would got into the mind of anyone who would hear about that. You are right, these people do exist so what should we do? Ignoring them or treat them like they are not there is not a solution. To be honest with you Gypsy .. I've met some of them here accidentally, you can find them everywhere and out of all that I met only 1 or 2 were ok.

The rest were possessed with the .... you know the idea as well as I was having kinda of a nice body back then and looks like they were thinking that I'm the right man for this but they were wrong. I was shocked when one of them asked for my phone number [he was with a friend] telling me that we might hang out sometimes and having fun and there is nothing wrong with this guy but that he was holding me hand like a girl and speaks even better than a girl.

I'm not against these people, there is always bad and good. Like all straight people are not good or bad. Also gay people got the good and bad among them. If these guys want to live their own live, let it be .. I don't think that I would like to be part of that but it is up to them.

Please Hussanmf, find me this evidence you speak of. Yes children grow up to imitate their parents relationship, but not sexually! I have no idea what my parents do in bed, for all I know they are into S&M. Homosexual parents don't have sex in front of their kids! As for being prone to experimentation, I'm sure they are, you don't have to be raised by homosexuals to be experimental. I wasn't, and I have been. It's a natural part of growing up.

i m sorry to disaapoint you, but there is ample proof from sychology to conclusively say that ALL YOUNG CHILDREN GROW UP IMMITATING THE FORM OF RELATIONSHIP THIER CARE TAKERS FOLLOW....

if homosexuality is norm as they grow up, it is safe to say that they will at least be less hesitatnt to try it and/or get sychologically hoocked and or attached to it...

there is also ample prroof to suggest homosexuality( for males) bieng a product of engaging in anal sex as younger children or adolecents...

in a very real sense, those who experiences bieng penetrated as younger individuals ( for whatever reason ) experience very SERIOUS needs to keep getting penetrated..

thats the reason why many very MANLY males are gays bec they were raped as children...

So a big FAT NO...

Homosexuality is certainly NOT ONLY a function of getting attracted to one gender as opposed to the other ( although this is certainly a part of it )

there are way too many forces at play, one of which is if u r brough up in a gay tolerant/incouraging attitude...

another one is availability...like in prison ( or in the gulf ), where acess to the opposite sex is limited or non existent...

and many other factors...

My point again in very plain english..

Accepting people for what they are is one thing...

encouraging attitudes that are not right is another...

i agree to the earlier bec it cant be helped...and i will not hate or dehumanise anyone for any reason...

i disagree with the later bec it can be helped....and thats why i oppose gay couples adopting..

its just my openion...

i m sure u r not suggesting that an openion that doesnt conform with urs is rediclious..!!!

i guess it was just a slip of the tounge:)

Here's my 2 cents;

I have never met anyone, ever, who changed his/her mind about the morality/theology/nature of homosexuality...not once.

The best I've ever seen is people agreeing to disagree. If anyone's mind got changed due to this discussion, I'd be so shocked I'd have a stroke.

I'm not criticizing...I'm Switzerland in this debate. I'm just bringing to attention that no matter how many sides are presented, not one mind will be changed.

The best we can hope for is for someone to acknowledge another's point of view, if not agree with it. My bet is that not one mind will be changed, but I've been wrong before...

Good luck, eh...?

Don't be ridiculous Hussnamf, being raised by a gay couple doesn't make you gay. People can't decide who they are sexually attracted too. There is absolutely NO scientific evidence to support that. I know several kids raised by gay parents and they aren't gay.

Gypsy...

There is a differnce between accepting people the way they are, and between raising them 2 be something ...

for example, a man might love a wife who is a nurotic mess, and accept her and love her to pieces..

now if he were to bring a child into life, do u think it is wise to raise her to be a nurotic mess?

in my mind, its the same idea...

Bieng gay for some people ( hormonally imbalanced at birth ), is not a choice...

Raising up a son/daughter to be gay is a choice( of the parents not the child )....

and bringing up children in a gay " familly " does just that....bec a child grows up wanting 2 immitate the form of relationship he / she whitnessed theor care takers practice, and thats a given fact of sychology that no one argues with...

thats why i oppose allowing gay couples 2 adopt ...

i dont remeber using the quran to argue with at all, but u always kept bringing it up:)

any ways...

I’m not against homosexuals. In fact I believe that due to their liberal thinking, Arab gays have an impact on culture & literature.

I was just stating why, in my opinion, the gay marriages never works.

Yet another example, one of the top gay destinations is Greece. Although it is known that Greeks are less tolerant to homosexuals than the rest of the Mediterranean. Gay men simply favors it to famous gay spots like Torremolinos in Spain just because they can mingle with sexually confused locals on after dark parks & local hamams.

Obviously you don’t go into details with your gay couple friends, or you should have known that the only reason they are going on is because they see other people if not in dating in other ways like flings on saunas or online.

i never argued that u DIDNT READ gypsy...

i m merely suggesting that u were reading with a not so open mind..

u were reading 2 find in the books reasons to say they are nonesense, rather than reading 2 find out what they say ...

at least thats what i think...may be i m wrong...

at any rate, homosexuality is indeed a " natural " phnomenon...

it occurs in nature as well as in the human society...always has and always will

Homosexuals certainly have the right to live and love and are in no way less of human biengs for bieng what they are...

but in my humble openion, they shouldnt be GRANTED the right to marry and adopt...

like i said bef , what happens behind closed doors between consenting adults is only thier buisness...

God only know that hetrosexuals are also involved in shamfull practices behind closed doors...

thats not the point...

the point is that same sex marriages ( legally ) and adoption ( legally ) in my openion pauses an increadible threat on humanity and is a serious alteration to familly norms ...

No one can argue that children derive their basic ideas about society from their parents , and should gay couples be allowed to adopt, this can only reinforce gay values that are not in any way attributed to hermonal imbalances, but are societal practices ...

which brings us back to the story of Lot and his people, and we all know how that ended!!!

Finally gypsy, if u dont believe in God and the holly books, may be u should refrain from making citations and refrences to them ...

its hard for me to imagine someone who doesnt believe in something yet uses it as an integral part of their reasoning...

wouldnt u agree?

"Straight" is simply a slang term used in the West to describe someone who is heterosexual. I don't think gays and lesbians are perverted at all. I think it's perfectly natural.

If you are going to get into a silly little argument about slang terms then remember that gay actually means happy or cheerful. :)

Homosexuals are as caring, loving and giving as any heterosexuals, or as messed up and screwed up as any heterosexuals, and they have every right to live their lives as we do.

People have every right to believe in what they want. If you choose not to like gay people, then great, don't like them, but don't try and ruin their lives by enforcing your beliefs on them. At the same respect, if you are going to come on this forum and start spouting ignorant, baseless, hate in the name of "Allah" don't expect me not to argue back.

Beleive it or not Hussnamf, I've read the Quran, and I've read the Bible and I've read the Torah and it's just the same meaningless drivel to me.

this is the reason gypsy

" To make a long story short, Ur openion on the quran is urs, and u have a right to it, but i think u r missing out on understanding both the book and the effects of the book on people by always tryingt 2 fish for faults in it ( most of which are never niether accurate nor right any way ).."

in my openion, the reason why u " read the quran and dont like it" as u say,is bec u r interpreting it through a peep hole tainted with prejudice...something that u r so furious about when someone else like faisal or whoever else does...

yes u are entitled to ur openion, But u talk the talk and dont walk the walk from where i m standing...

u bash people for not bieng able 2 accept the things u believe in, or at least consider it, while it seems to me from where i m standing that u r doing the same thing from the opposite side of the fence...

all having been said, i didnt confiscate ur right 2 ur own openion on the Quran and Islam...

Think what u like!!and live as u deem fit:)

every child miss father and mother together. If they can become good fathers who will cover for mother. I believe that father can never give love of a mother to any one. It is universal truth. Father can not take mother's place and mother can not take father's place. They both are required characters in every one's life.

Look gypsy...

The quran tells the stories of these men...a story is an account of something that happened, not neccesarilly a suggestion...

Also, Lot was not trying 2 save a " couple of guys" , he was trying 2 save an entire village ...

Furthermore, consider what he was trying 2 save them from...its not like he was concerned they will get fat and out of shape!!!

he was concerned that the whole village will be struck by furious retribution from God ( which eventually happened )..

and u r missing out on the whole MORAL of the story :)

When i was in college, in our 1st lecture the Dean was speaking 2 us..

He told us :" never judge a historical event of times past by standards of the time u now live in"...

He was talking about history and politics, i would suggest u need to do the same about the quran and the religion...

You are entitled to ur own openion of the Quran, but with all due respect to you, no matter what ur openion is, The quran is a book that has inspired thousands of the greatest men and women who ever walked the earth to live a complete, a moral, and an exceptionally fruitfull life...

People Like Anwar Sadat, ( nobel peace prize winner), Ahmmad Zowail ( Phisics nobel prize winner ), Ahmad elbaradie ( nobel peace prize winner ) are all shiniing examples that even in this day and age

when Muslims are no where close to their best , Islam and Quran are still parts of raising great minds and great people who contribute a fair share in human development and civilisation.

In times past , It was the muslim culture ( and ONLY the muslim culture ) that has tolerated and accepted Jews and chritians and different religions and ethnicities in its ranks, and they were treated as citizens with rights and obligations...

Till today, no Jew can deny that the brightest days of the jews were under islamic rule and riegn...

Not one " VALID " claim of historical abuse against christians in Juraselem for example was ever made while juraselem was under muslim rule...

To make a long story short, Ur openion on the quran is urs, and u have a right to it, but i think u r missing out on understanding both the book and the effects of the book on people by always tryingt 2 fish for faults in it ( most of which are never niether accurate nor right any way )..

i reiterate..if u can make an effort 2 put ur prejudice against the quran and islam aside, u might even surprise urself with how easy it is 2 accept the universal truth that lies in the Quran...

Then again, u NOT DOING SO ( and i say that with all the respect in the world ), means ABSOULETLY NOTHING:)

The Quran is one of these things that are true whether u believe in them or not ( in my humble openion at least )

and the status of the Quran as God;s words to the entire human race will not in any way be undermined if u dont belive in it...

Have a gr8 day

Wow Genesis and King Edshel, can I just recommend actually meeting some gay people before you make generlizations like that. I know quite a few commited male relationships, in fact two good friends of mine who have been together for 3 and a half years are going to get married this summer. They are also interested in adopting a child in a couple of years, and I have no doubt they will make excellent fathers.

You guys obviously don't know any homosexuals or have any real knowledge of the gay community. Get out there and visit some of these "gay villages" instead of just judging them from TV.

because it is against these people nature and against the great law of nature. It is like playing in the spare time, nothing is real and the only reason for these guys or gals to be together is absolutely desire and lust. Any relation rather than being between a man and a woman [they do exist] is not a real relation. How can these two gays or lesbians have a family or rise their children if they got any? What would be this child feeling when he go to the school and someone to see his mother? Bring your mother tomorrow, which one of them? I got two mothers. Or bring your mother and he is bringing his father to the school, son .. we asked you to bring your mother, who is this? He is my mother? Imagine a lot of these embarrassing situations and none acceptable. If these two can live like that, I don't think that there children would ever be normal.

Well, it might work for lesbians. However, with gay men it’s just nonsense.

Simply because gay relations are absolutely sexual, gay activists tried extensively to cover-up this fact with influence in media/pop culture to establish a solid ground for their rights.

In major cities like New York, Toronto, Paris or London where there are gay villages, dozens of gay saunas/dark rooms & cruising areas have over come the average gay bars. So, it’s obvious that gay people are not into ordinary dating.

Gay men are not really attracted to each other, There is an over obsession & a thrill in turning in straight men. NO wonder nowadays it’s the fashion in gay culture to accompany an immigrant (Turks, Kurds, Arabs, etc). And it’s a no secret that those relations won’t end up in marriage.

Finally, Gay relations are always short. Simply because both partners get bored and sleep around. Why stay with one partner, when there are dozen of strangers on the sauna next door!

HEY gypsey...

I emplore u to reconsider ur source of quran interpratation...

Lot never had sex with his childrenaccoring to quran ...

What the quran said was the he argued with the gay men in his village to the extent that he offered his daughters just to try and put them off the homosexual sex practices:)

The Quran is really a bueatifull book gypsy...

i think if u try to read it with ur prejedous aside, u will learn a lot and enjoy a lot...

having said that, i understand ur frustration from how so many muslims today to tend to associate themselves with very narrow interpretations of the quran and very old ones indeed that need 2 be revisited and re though of...

I do firmly believe however that all the tenants and pillars of the Quran, and all the wisdom and moral code presnted in it holds firm to any day and age..

the trick is how to present the same wisdom and the ideals of times past in a modern context that serves us in the world we live today..

and just for ur info, islam is a very open religion...

For example, the prophet himself ( while alive ) legislated about people with ambigious sex ( u know those people with unidentified genetelia or not fully developed ones )

his take on it was that a person with that condition would recieve inheritance based on his/her APPARENT genetelia...

ie, those with developed penises would be treated as men and those with vagaina;s as women in matters of inheritance...

so its not like Islam even tried to shy away from adressing these issues..

its all in the attitude...

people who want to find flexible answers derived from islam will find ample precsedent to follow...

and those who want to take a hard line and see the world through a peep whole will always find reason 2 do so in any book...be it the quran , the bible, plato's republic, or the american constitution:)

Homosexuality has flourished in Arab literature

You just need to pay attention to Arab history.

- Al-ameen, the Abassid caliphate was openly gay. And during his reign the famous gay poet abu-nawus wrote his famous wine poetry.

- Songs by alasfhani, which is a an important reference to Islamic scholars in Alazhar is full of homosexual flirtations & poems

Some people have feelings towards other people of the same sex, and contemplate whether this means that they are gay.. these feelings can be very intense and alienating to some extent. Most are just attracted to other people of the same sex are gay and go on to have sexual relationships with people of the same sex... whereas other people are attracted to both men and women and have relationships with both. But there are cases as well that some people are not attracted to anyone and wonder if this is a sign of homosexuality... now what do we call them??

Hetero - homo, it'll all boils down to one point, they're humans! you could just imagine how hard it is for them to cope up in a society with tons of judgmental people like you are... so please stop bein so pathetic and cut your crap bacause you simply cant impose them.

You are believing him and saying that Quran is fariytale. There is no book equal to Quran and Quran is a model of truth. I dont blame you or Darude or any one who are using such words agains Quran because you have not even read it. Quran is more than a friend.

I think i should stop and quit. How can i convince someone who is already in a dirt. If you are happy with being a gay, so let it be, but do not forget my words. If gayism crossed its limit then Allah will clean this earth by himself. Then this debate wont be useful. Quran says about such people, let them play until they see the day they were promised.

What i pray for is that Allah show the right path to every body who does not know about this bad practice. But i bet that gypsy and darude they know how bad this is.

I quit this debate because i cant bear insult of my Allah, his prophet and Allah's book Quran. They are not worth to be insulted. They all wanted good for all of us. Now it is human being, who makes his/her own destiny.

Allah is witness that i have conveyed HIS message to the persons who read my words and were not aware of what Allah's wants.

Some more Wiki for you Saud:

By 2006 the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Canada and South Africa had legalized same-sex marriage; in the United States, only Massachusetts had legalized gay marriage while the states of Vermont, Connecticut, and New Jersey allowed civil unions.[47] Maine, California, and Hawaii, as well as the District of Columbia, offer domestic partnerships.

Other countries, including the majority of European nations, have enacted laws allowing civil unions, designed to give gay couples similar rights as married couples concerning legal issues such as inheritance and immigration. Numerous Scandinavian countries have had domestic partnership laws on the books since the late 1980s.

Among many Middle-Eastern Muslim cultures, homosexual practices were widespread and public. Persian poets, such as Attar (d. 1220), Rumi (d. 1273), Sa’di (d. 1291), Hafez (d. 1389), and Jami (d. 1492), wrote poems replete with homoerotic allusions. Recent work in queer studies suggests that while the visibility of such relationships has been much reduced, their frequency has not.[citation needed] The two most commonly documented forms were commercial sex with transgender males or males enacting transgender roles exemplified by the köçeks and the bacchás, and Sufi spiritual practices in which the practitioner crossed over from the idealized chaste form of the practice to one in which the desire is consummated.

In Persia homosexuality and homoerotic expressions were tolerated in numerous public places, from monasteries and seminaries to taverns, military camps, bathhouses, and coffee houses. In the early Safavid era (1501-1723), male houses of prostitution (amrad khane) were legally recognized and paid taxes.

A tradition of art and literature sprang up constructing Middle Eastern homosexuality. Muslim — often Sufi — poets in medieval Arab lands and in Persia wrote odes to the beautiful Christian wine boys who, they wrote, served them in the taverns and shared their beds at night. In many areas the practice survived into modern times, as documented by Richard Francis Burton, André Gide, and others.

In the Turkic-speaking areas, one manifestation of this same-sex love was the bacchá, adolescent or adolescent-seeming male entertainers and sex workers.

In other areas male love continues to surface despite efforts to keep it quiet. After the American invasion of Afghanistan, Central Asian same-sex love customs in which adult men take on adolescent lovers were widely reported.[citation needed]

Sexual relations between older and younger boys are said to be frequent in the Middle East as well as in the Maghreb.

The prevailing pattern of same-sex relationships in the temperate and sub-tropical zone stretching from Northern India to the Western Sahara is one in which the relationships were — and are — either gender-structured or age-structured or both. In recent years, egalitarian relationships modeled on the western pattern have become more frequent, though they remain rare

enought. I can not live in a society where a son can marry his mother. Really i can not. I feel sorry for these people which are supporting this kind of marriages. They are really perverted.

I want to have a proper family consist of father, mother, brothers and sisters and children. Where girls marry guys and where children look at their mother as mothers and look at their fathers as fathers. Where they marry and have children and bring happiness and more love. I want to have my life partner a woman, a natural couple.

Gayism is nothing but a desire, like a desire of theaf to steal and desire of killer to kill, like a desire of rapist to rape. There no conxentual adult sex but corruption and harrasment of humanity and lack of shame. Very disappointing environment, free of pleasure.

Last time I checked Saud, no incestous mother/son pairs were asking to marry, defintely not enough of them to justify even looking at the matter. However there are many many homosexual couples and they are asking. I don't see how they are hurting anyone, so why not let them marry.

You are the ones with no answers Saud, and no point.

I don't know how many times you've had sex with animals Saud, you seem to know more about it then I do. I would assume that the animal would fight back. However consent has to do with mental capacity as well, a donkey or a dog doesn't have the mental capacity to consent, neither does a child. Your argument doesn't hold water.

YOu love your wife and you have sex with your wife. You do so because you are also sexually attracted to her. Gay men or women love their partners and are sexually attracted to them, no different then you and your wife.

Love is pure feeling and has nothing to do with sex, like a mother loves her son or daughter, a pure love free of desire. A love between a man and his GOD pure love. Movies had very bad impression on the society, like you should have sex with whom you love or you should kiss. This is sad and does not clarify your position Gypsy.

Sorry Hussanmf, I didn't mean to say that you said anything bad about homosexuals, you haven't.

Actually it appears we have the same view of the story of Lut or Lot, in both cases the society weas practicing abnormal deviency, which I take (and you have suggested you take) to mean rape and pedophilia, etc. Not a caring and consentual relationship between two adults.

This is simply my point about that story, that it gives and example the horrors of rape and exteme lust, NOT caring adult relationships.

I dont believe i have have uttered one hatefull word against any one...

if i did, please point it out for me...

As far as God;s fairness is concerened, well , i believe he is fair in all matters...

truth is , no one but God himself decides who goes to heaven and who goes to hell...

i cant and wont put myself in the shoes of the allmighty and judge human biengs and condemn them to heaven or hell..

i m far too pathetic and small in the bigger scheme of things ( in comparisson to God) to ever even so much as think of doing that..

What i posted earlier was just to correct ur interprataion of the Quran versus regarding Lut and his people...

and mind u , the people of Lut didnt practice homosexuality out of love...it was social norm...

it is said that they also sodomised young boyz...and that they used to "choose" their boyz and then shoot small rocks at their heads, knock them unconcious and then rape them....

doesnt sound 2 loving 2 me!

i agree that things are way to discreet to the extent of hypocracy in our culture..i totally agree with u in that respect...

it is silly to hear ppl claim that no homosexuality ocurs in our culture and that AIDS doesnt exist and a whole list of other absurd claims....

i also agree that the west 's attitude of " in ur face " is equally as absurd on the other side of the continum if u will ( dont mind the spelling:)

god's message is about love and respect so anyone who uses either of the books to spread hatred and intolerance does not understand the real point of religion (regardless of what they are quoting).

i don't think a fair God would condemn people to hell based on geography either, but that's what many of the die hards seem to believe since worshipping Mohamed (or Jesus or whoever) boils down to where you were born.

it's all nuts.

Hussamf, I don't see how gay marriage is corrupting society or doing any harm at all.

I do understand your point about not boasting about things, but I don't see the point in hiding things either. In the West we are too boastful about things and we push things too much in peoples faces, but here in the East you hide it too much and turn into hypocrits.

There's a happy medium somewhere between the two cultures.

However, I will never sit and listen to hatred and bigotry spoken about homosexuals, because the homosexuals I've met are some of the best, if not the best, people I've met. Adversity always brings out the best in people, and I don't think any fair God would ever send these people to Sauds hell because of whom they love. I think the most important thing is that they love.

Homosexuals are just people with different sexual orinatation, that is true...

Legalising gay marriages is a horrible mistake however that entire human race will pay for sooner or later in my openion...

shaking the very foundation of society by legalising such marriages already started having catastrophic repercutions...

I care not what happens behind closed doors...

i cant and wont impose my moral values on consenting adults...

Homosexuality is a human condition just as hetrosexuality is...

however allowing gay couples 2 adopt for example is atrocious in my openion....

its one thing that 2 consenting adults CHOOSE to be homosexuals, and a totally different thing 2 bring up a generation of children believing it is NORM..or may be even just following suit just bec thats the model of relationships they grew up around...

but thats only my humble openion....

My dear Gypsy...dont interpret the quran without reading the full text...

in the story of Lut in the Quran God exclaims FORCEFULLY...( the coming is my own loose translation, please check for more proffesional translation )

" You lust for men and leave what god created for you ( women ?????)...You are so astray from the right path..."

Also in the Quran, BECAUSE the people of Lut wouldnt abandon their ways of homsoexuality amongst men, God's retribution came swift and devistating...

Scholars have said that God ordered the Angel Gabriel to quite LITRALLY turn the village UPSIDE DOWN ...

Muslim scholars say that Gabriel litrally REMOVED the whole village and from the earth, carried it on its wing till the 7th sky ( so much so that the barking of the dogs of the village was heard by the people in the heavens) and then turned it over and let it crash towards earth ( upside down ) essentially crushing its inhabitants...

And the quran leaves no room for INTERPRATATION as to WHY THIS HAPPENED>..

It happened bec they practiced homosexuality and bragged about ( didnt discreetly do it)

Now, in my own understanding, thats no invitation 2 practice discreet homsoexuality either...

its just a simple idea

if u r indeed doing something that God has forbidden ( like homosexuality, adultery, drinking, gambeling , or whatever), DONT BOOST ABOUT IT AND DONT MAKE IT PUBLIC ...

the wisdom behind the discretion is to not " Corrupt" other members of the society who might be encouraged to immitate these " forbidden acts" bec they see them done publically...

peace out

You see, such a managed universe can be managed by itself right. There is one power who created this universe and HE is controlling them. If you read science you will find it out. What scientists found today about how this universe came in to existence, this has been revealed by Allah in HIS book Quran 1428 years back.

Dear Scorpio, Allah have never asked anybody to-date to kill his or her family but HE instructed to behave good with family members and respect father and mother, brothers and sisters, neighbours, next seat fellows infact HE instructed to behave good to every body in the world ;) Allah is very nice GOD and i love HIM alot.

The earth is getting warmer because of a thing called global warming. You should read up on it you might learn something.

So I'm assuming you have dug up graves, opened the box...next time you go on another adventure can I come? Sounds like fun. I want to see the fresh blood!

Maybe you should start making decisions for yourself and start developing your own opinions about life.

Oh you didn’t answer my question, if Allah told you to kill your family would you do it?

sorry and disappointing that i could not convince you guys about what Allah wants from human beings. But i am telling yall that Allah loves you and loves you more than your relatives, monther and father. HE wants us to survive and get heaven, Really. Look for better person to tell you about all this. It is true and hell is not fake. Hell is not place of having fun, believe me.

Just think little bit, why you exist and why sun is rising and setting every day, why it is getting hotter and hotter every day, why earth is getting bitter to worst every day.

Why we exist and why we are dying. Why most of the dead bodies in the grave are still looks like they are killed just now, their blood is fresh.

There are alot to think and the answer is only that Allah is the one WHO is managing this universe and HE will destroy this earth one day and Judgement Day will take over. All creatures will get alive again and every one has to answer for their deeds and will be responsible for their own deeds only.

This life is very short and no one knows how long he/she will survive. So we better make our other life which is permenant and you will never die there.

I am late due to terrible time in the office.

The time is very less and lot of work to be done so please read it with care.

Allah is only God and there is no other god except HIM. HE send his beloved creature human being to the earth to see whether they (we) follow HIS instructions or not. When they started following their own thoughts and started doing whatever they liked to do then Allah sent his messangers to them to convince them to do what Allah wants them to do. Majority used to oppose and insisted on what they were practicing and there were occasions where Allah punished them on earth by different ways. One sample is there in Egypt, which is called as mummy in English.

Now one nation which is Looth's nation, as all you know about them, were practicing what majority of us are doing now a days (Homosex). Our Allah stating in HIS book Quran that no nation practiced or was practicing this practice. Allah also punished this nation like other nations. but as stated earlier, Allah punished this nation (5) ways while other nations were punished only one (1) way.

Quran is not a fictional book whether any one believe this or not, can not hurt Quran or anyone but he is hurting himself.

Allah is only one God and there is no other god except HIM is a universal truth whether the whole 6 billion population believe this or not, it is not going to hurt Allah or any one but they will be hurting themselves only.

Mohammed (P.B.U.H) is HIS last messanger there were no and will never be other messengers after him, whether anyone believe this or not, it is not going to hurt any one but he is hurting himself.

Since there will be no other messanger after Mohammed (P.B.U.H), Allah handover this responsibility to Muslims. All non-muslims may not know the truth so we muslims covey Allah's and HIS prophet Mohammed's (P.B.U.H) message to everybody. We do not hate any body and Allah do not hate human beings. But it is human being's deeds which is hated by Allah and then Allah punish that human being.

Allah gave example of Lut's nation to us to avoid this terrible practice to avoid HIS anger and punishment. If any one practice this practice he/she is not hurting anyone but hurting him/herself only. My job was to covey to everyone what Allah wants, you do it or you dont do, you are the only one going to bear the consequences :(

I am not and will not be supporting gay marriages or homsexuality even if 7 billion of population support this kind of marriage which is totaly immoral :|

And I know it by heart, it states clearly that those who performed these terrible actions were punished and only the beleivers and "NORMAL PEOPLE" who don't have sex with the same gender survived this torturing.

By the way, the punishemnt of Lut people, was never revealed to anyone before. You know why? due to the terrible actions they used to do.

I agree with those who says that homsexuals are humans and needs to be left alone doing what they want as long as they don't hurt others, but I also believe that they are sick needs spiritual and physical care and guidance.

Four high school friends, who hadn't seen each other in 30 years, reunited at a party.

After several drinks, one of the men had to use the rest room. Those who remained talked about their kids.

The first guy said, "My son is my pride and joy. He started working at a successful company at the bottom of the barrel.

He studied Economics and Business Administration and soon began to climb the corporate ladder and now he's the president of the company. He became so rich that he gave his best friend a top of the line Mercedes for his birthday."

The second guy said, "Darn, that's terrific! My son is also my pride and joy.

He started working for a big airline, then went to flight school to become a pilot. Eventually he became a partner in the company, where he owns the majority of its assets. He's so rich that he gave his best friend a brand new jet for his birthday."

The third man said: "Well, that's universities and became an engineer.Then he started his own construction company and is now a

multi-millionaire. He also gave away something very nice and expensive to his best friend for his birthday: A 30,000 square foot mansion."

The three friends congratulated each other just as the fourth returned whats the congratulations for?"

One of the three said: "We were talking about the pride we feel for the successes of our sons. ...What about your son?"

The fourth man replied: "My son is gay and makes a living dancing as a stripper at a nightclub."

The three friends said: "What a shame...what a disappointment."

The fourth man replied: "No, I'm not ashamed. He's my son and I love him. And he hasn't done too bad either. His birthday was two weeks ago, and

He received a beautiful 30,000 square foot mansion, a brand new jet and a top of the line Mercedes from his three boyfriends".

First of all, it hasn't been "decades" it's been a decade, if that. Secondly I never said there weren't homophobes in the West? There are, especially among the religious zealots in the Bible belt which is where many of these assaults occur. Also the US isn't very liberal towards homosexuals and never has been, it's the rest of the West that is more tolerant.

Thirdly, there are lots of assaults against homosexuals here, but unless you know some or are part of a social group with some who are open about it, you'll never here about it...kind of like a lot of the assualts against women here. I know a guy who's in hospital now for being beaten up outside the Dairy Queen, by cops no less.

Fourthly: Will in Will & Grace is a lawyer, his boyfriend is a cop. There are several other shows with gay people in more professional positions, they just aren't really found on TV here. As for Queer Eye, that's right up there with So you want to Marry a Millionaire, I don't comment on that trash cause I don't watch it. Nor would I ever assume it represented the majority of the people in the West, whether gay or straight.

I also believe that shows like that, and rap videos and "black" tv shows are created by the middle aged religious conservative white men that run the US as a ploy to continue segregation.

You’ve succeeded in showing how homophobic we are. However, the things that I can’t seem to understand how come after decades of liberation & gay-rights the west are yet homophobic. I see neither Qataris nor Arabs holding signs “GOD hates FAGS”, not to mention we rarely ever hear of cases of hostility, vandalizing or assaults.

Shows like “Well & grace” and “Queer eye for the straight guy” has played a role in stereotyping gay people. How come the liberated media never shed light on gay surgeons, Engineers or economists? And insist on showing the makeup artist, the interior designer & the fashion expert?

The agenda is obvious. Segregate them, display them as ‘different’. If that’s not homophobia, then what is?

these people we're talking about here have one thing in common...not one of them chose to be a gay...each one have their own unique struggles in life...they all experience the challenges of self acceptance...coming out...and the hardest part of it is dealing with a society that doesn't always make life easy for them...

That being said, I see no problem what so ever with gay marriage. They are people too, with the same capable emotions as anyone else. They can and do love just as deeply and passionately as heterosexuals do. Therefore, I think that they should be able to sanctify their love for one another through the bonds of matrimony just as anyone else.

we can't judge someone just because he/she have other interests.... it's not in our hands to judge them...period...

As far as I can tell, there aren't too many religions which actually give anyone the right to punish anybody. If anything is a sin, it's up to God to decide the punishment. It is the height of ego for any human to assume the roll of God as judge for any sins.

If anybody is sinning, it's up to God to decide, not people.

Gypsy I totally support your arguments about homosexuality, but I don’t approve attacking other people religions and beliefs. I may believe that the bible is distorted and fiction also, but I will not go and through it in the face of Christians...I will keep it to myself. I am a practicing Muslim, but I am very open minded too, and most of the time my Muslim devout colleagues use religion to shut me up, and though my answers to their arguments are usually provocative, I don't go as far as you did, cause there are limits everyone have to respect.

Now regarding the topic, it is very difficult and intriguing one, however what we know for sure is that NO ONE CHOOSE TO BE HOMOSEXUAL, people are simply born that way, it will not go away by praying, crying, abstaining, treatment...etc.

Unless we have concrete evidence that these events took place no-one can say that the Qur'an is more than a work of fiction with any certainty.

The Qur'an itself is not proof of this, just as any of us would have trouble believing a person who arrived tomorrow carrying a book that claimed he/she was the almighty and powerful creator, we can't all just take the Qur'an's word for it.

The wishes of a majority group of people are enacted by the government. This is a principle of government that was originally tried and tested long before Islam was invented 1600 years ago. As a secular, democratic society the people of Canada should not have to accept the rules laid down on them by an 'elite', powerful, lucky few.

In countries of hereditary monarchies the wishes and desires of this often small minded and inbred group restrict the individuals from achieving their own goals, wishes and desires. A similar thing in a theocracy - where a small but powerful group of clerics or priests control state policy. Why are the people of Turkey campaigning so strongly against a theocracy in their country? Because they know that it will be bad for the individual. And why would someone want to subject themselves to something bad for them?

One doesn't get to be a Mufti, or an Archbishop, or even a Pope, by ignoring the environment. Interpretation of any dogma, and acceptance of that, is a function of how it will play to one's political masters. Otherwise you get beheaded (literally or metaphorically).

Saud, apart from anything else, the covering of the face is insupported. Here's an extract from wikipedia that quotes the relevant ayaat:

"Islam's holy book, the Qur'an, orders Muslims to dress in a "modest" fashion. Following verses are generally interpreted as applying to all Muslim men and women.

Surah an-Nur ayah 31 states:

And say to the faithful women to lower their gazes, and to guard their private parts, and not to display their beauty except what is apparent of it, and to extend their headcoverings (khimars) to cover their bosoms (jaybs), and not to display their beauty except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband's fathers, or their sons, or their husband's sons, or their brothers, or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their womenfolk, or what their right hands rule (slaves), or the followers from the men who do not feel sexual desire, or the small children to whom the nakedness of women is not apparent, and not to strike their feet (on the ground) so as to make known what they hide of their adornments. And turn in repentance to Allah together, O you the faithful, in order that you are successful

In the following verse, Muslim women are asked to draw their jalābib (when they go out), as a measure to distinguish themselves from others, so that they are not harassed.

Those who harass believing men and believing women unjustifiably shall bear the guilt of slander and a grievous sin. O Prophet! Enjoin your wives, your daughters, and the wives of true believers to draw their cloaks over them [when they go out]. That is more proper, so that they may be distinguished and not be harassed. God is ever forgiving and merciful. If the hypocrites and those who have the ailment [of jealousy] in their hearts and the scandal mongers of Madinah do not desist, We will rouse you against them, and their days in that city will be numbered. Cursed be they; wherever found, they would be seized and put to death.

— Qur'an , 33:58-61"

It specifically tells them to cover their hair and their bosoms and to wear cloaks, it permits the displaying of whatever is apparent of their beauty, save for the specific exceptions.

I find the face covering a bit 'holier than thou', as if the women are trying to be even holier and more virtuous than Allah intended them to be, which strikes me as a bit presumptious and even vainglorious. Of course, that's the women who profess to choose to cover their faces. Others are simply oppressed into doing so.

The following text and/or variations of it, are on numerous websites, and I'm not sure of the original source (except the quotes from the Qu'ran I'm assuming are from the Qu'ran):

The Qur'an and Homosexuality: There are five references in the Qur'an which have been cited as referring to gay and lesbian behavior. Some obviously deal with effeminate men and masculine women. The two main references to homosexual behavior are:

"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." Qur'an 7:80-81

Allah Most High says: "Do you approach the males of humanity, leaving the wives that Allah has created for you? But you are a people who transgress" Koran (26:165-66)

027.055 Would ye really approach men in your lusts rather than women? Nay, ye are a people (grossly) ignorant!

029.028-29 And (remember) Lut: behold, he said to his people: "Ye do commit lewdness, such as no people in Creation (ever) committed before you. Do ye indeed approach men, and cut off the highway?- and practise wickedness (even) in your councils?" But his people gave no answer but this: they said: "Bring us the Wrath of God if thou tellest the truth."

Dear Grantley, Quran is not word of mouth. Plus if it is 1428 years old book but gives information of tommorow and gives the information of the time which you can not even imagine. I do not blame you because you have not read and you have no information about it. Bible (Enjeel) was book came from the Sky but it is not in its original state. Christians have changed them and created versions.

But Quran is not like Bible. We keep history of every word in it and Allah by himself undertake to protect it. No one on the earth nor in this vast universe can change of word of Quran. No one in the earth nor in this vast universe can claim that a word have been changed.

there is a HUGE difference between a "marriage" and a "wedding". Refer my earlier point about legal status... A gay wedding isn't right because they are trying to join a club that doesn't want them.

100% agree with you. There is NOTHING wrong with homosexuality. The problem (I reckon) is when people try to put it in a religious, rather than legal, framework. If you consider Islam, or Catholicism (or whatever), to be a form of "club", and the rules say "no", then it's not a club for you (should you be gay). The main issue is why they are denied legal status for retirement, healthcare or the other benefits that are totally taken for granted by heterosexuals. And, I love seeing the hypocritical hoo-har from the bigots, and watching them shoot themselves in he foot. I'm not an agnostic, but reckon the Bible and the Quran are 1000+ years of word of mouth.

No Saud YOU have to read it accurately, instead of just reading into it what you want.

Homosexuality is NATURAL, therefore it exists in every culture, and in fact is very predominate here in the Middle East because it is generally accepted as long as you don't make a big deal of it. Most boys and girls here have their first sexual experiences with members of the same sex.

As for governments being forced to accept gay marriage, sorry the Canadian government wasn't forced to do anything, gay marriage is now law because the people of Canada WANT it to be.

is because the girls are kept so protected and remote from interaction with boys. I do not agree with you. How come in western countries the rate of homosexuality is more than eastern countries though in west girls are not kept protected. I am wondering why their governements are so forced to accept gay marriages then. This is not because of this.

Gypsy, you got to read it accurately.

This is the best thread I've seen on QL for a long time! We all know that because girls are kept so protected and remote from interaction with boys in many arab countries that the end result is boys exploring their sexuality with other boys. Natural or not I don't have an issue with this. Perhaps if the countries in this part of the world took a more enlightened attitude to relationships between consenting people of different sexes there would be no need for boys to go around shagging each other!

Allah said their man was having sex with another man. That's why this nation was destroyed. So what you want more than this.

We as a human being in general and being muslims in particular, it is our duty to inform every body in this world about Allah and His prophet Mohammed (P.B.U.H) and His Book (Quran). We have to tell them the way which goes to Paradise and try our best to save them from hell regardles of the country. All human being have right to get paradise, in fact every body but by following Allah's rules.

Are you arguing about gay marriages?

It will never happen. Not only because it’s a religious/cultural taboo.

Because none of the gays in this region are interested in coming out. Plus, gay marriages are for self employed middle aged gay men who fed up from hanging out all day at gay bars.

Gay marriages in Qatar !...seriously?

Check the story of Lut in the Quran, check the story of Lot in the Bible, they are the same stories! Nowhere in the Quran or the Bible does it say that sex between two consenting men is wrong. Read what I posted above it is directly from the King James Bible!

What they were practicing is rape, doesn't say anything about consentual homosexual sex. It also says that it's perfectly ok to for a father to give away his daughters to be raped AND then to have incestous sex later. Sorry if I don't put a lot of stock in this story. :P

He challenged every body in the world, every body in all means and with all means and everything which any body think can help him, can not and can never creat book like this.

Tell me where in this next passage it says that sex between two consenting adults, regardless of gender, is wrong.

1: And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;

2: And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.

3: And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.

4: But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:

5: And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

6: And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,

7: And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.

8: Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.

9: And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.

10: But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.

11: And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

12: And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:

13: For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.

14: And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.

15: And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.

16: And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.

17: And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

18: And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:

19: Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:

20: Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.

21: And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.

22: Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

23: The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.

24: Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;

25: And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

26: But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

27: And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:

28: And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

29: And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.

30: And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.

31: And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:

32: Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

33: And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

34: And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our Father.

35: And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

36: Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.

37: And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.

38: And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.

Our Quran told us about a nation called as Looth's nation. This nation was practicing homosexuality and they believed in this relation as majority of our nation do now. They were destroyed because they reached to their limit and only one man and his couple of daughters were avoiding homosexuality.

Our Quran said they where punished with throwing stones from the sky, earth quake, they were turned to other creatures from human beings, they were lifted up and then thrown to the earth.

I believe it is terrible. This earth belongs to Allah he has set out rules to keep this earth clean. Homosexuality is not keeping the earth clean but it is dirt which will spoil everything whether someone liked it or hated it.

There were laws against homosexuality and still is in most countries, and people still practiced it. And homosexuality can harldy be likened to killing people (which lots of people also do, reagardless of laws). Homosexuality doesn't hurt anyone.

And here in Qatar there are many many many homosexuals, more so even then in most western countries, also many many more young boys and girls experiement with homosexuality because they don't have access to the opposite sex. They do show up here, all the time, and many are pretty openly gay.

If this nation you referred to is the fictional Gromorrah, then you will have to try better then that, because there is no real evidence that Gromorrah ever existed, much more it is even debatable if God condemned them for homosexuality.

It is not true. Majority are doing it because there is no power stopping them from doing it yet. Just imagine if there was no law against killers then i bet majority of the world population were killers.

Now, here in Qatar majority are not supporting this immoral practice that's why majority are not doing it if they are doing it they just do not show up because of the consequences.

You may believe me or may be you will not, there was a whole nation destroyed just because they turned to animals or worst and only one man and few girls could make it to survive. When there will be no one from human being opposing this practice then this whole nation will also be destroyed.

It is not naturally occuring. It is against human nature whether someone accepted or rejected it. Every nation got good people and bad people but any one just cant generalize it. Also no one can call homosexuality a natural practice just becasue majority are doing it. History witnessed the consequences of this practice and no one can ignore it even if somebody pretend to do it.

Beastiality is nowhere nearly as common as homosexuality and there's a very different mindset, as well as consent issues. If you associate homosexuals with people who practice beastiality it's you that has the problem, not the homosexuals.

Homosexuality and their supportive destroying nature and it beauty. I can not believe that someone want to have sex with every one who he or she loves. Love itself is very pure feeling and is free from dirt and sex. No one can prove that sex is an expression of love. Sex is a desire someone wants to fulfill.

Homosexual marriage and its practice is exactly the same as someone wants to steal something or kill someone.

There has been homosexuality since humans began. And in many cultures it was considered the norm and perfectly acceptable (Including pre Islamic Arab culture). So sorry it hasn't always been.

As long as the same sex couple are production members of a society I don't see any problem with it, afterall marriage is just a paper document, whether civil or in a church. I've been living with my partner for 2.5 years now and it does feel like marriage. Hehehe :P:P:P

What's with your obssession with a white man and an asian guy? I know a couple of guys that are of different races and have stayed together.

As for the "basic defintion of a society" marriage is simply a commitment between two people, if you're gay you aren't going to be getting involved in a hetrosexual relationship anyway, why not allow them the same benefits of hetrosexual couples?
