Regarding Pornography
-
I think that ponography is a gateway drug to adultery...
However, I do NOT believe in hating myself for having sexual thoughts about the opposite sex...
If every single creature in God's creation has sexual drive, then how could God expect us to hate ourselves for the very thoughts
that He has put in our minds?The line is what we DO, and what our INTENTIONS are.. that matter, and what will save us from committing adultery...
Hi Daud, I don't think that's quite right. I think Dragonflies was on the right track on the last page - the problem with porn is the way it affects a persons - who am I kidding - a man's view of women, and the way it depletes his energy. That's why it can be harmful.
I don't think it has anything to do with adultery. I think adultery is about hate, not lust.

About hate? hmmm now that is interesting please continue.......
While the idea of man's view of women is also correct, and the energy thing too...
However, what it also does, speaking from experience, it deadens the power of the conscience over the
instinct, and gives the instinct the power to act without any serious fore thought... -

You guys are jokers. How can u condone porn? I agree that porn is around every corner and many of us fall prey to it, but to condone it? Porn is something that degrades women, and there are many implications in it.
How can u agree that adultery is a sin but yet also agree that people committing it are doing good for people who cant satisfy their libido?
Finally there aint many differences between you free minds/ progressive muslims and the hadithists. Maybe that's why you insist on calling yrselves muslims. As least submitters dont condone animal sex on their site.
What u express on this site can have big implications. Sunnis who militate against quran alone actually check yr posts. And if they read this posts, they will go around and shout to everybody that quraniyoun actually SUPPORT PORN! Many idol worshippers (trinitarians, traditionalists,feminists,etc) also condemn porn but you, the so called pure monotheists free minds agree to it. What a shame! -
I see it well written on panels here, where they are raging against quraniyoun
The prophet said 'RESORT TO FASTING IF YOU CANT CONTROL YOUR LUSTS'
Quraniyoun say 'WATCH PORN IF YOU CANT CONTROL YOUR LUSTS'Peace Tarikh
That isn't what Quraniyoun think. I think we all know to lower our gaze is best. -
Well, read the posts. If that's not condoning,what is it then?
'i dont think it's got something to do with adultery'-mahmud h
Others suggested it could be better to watch porn than to commit the act, etc...Well yes, I don't think the two have anything in common. Just as I don't think double parking has anything to do with genocide - it doesn't mean I'm condoning double parking!
As I said, adultery is an act of hate. I think it's done out of envy and a desire to hurt and humiliate other human beings. The act of initiating sexual relations with another human being is really quite a far cry from that of watching porn or anything like that. But then I'm not married.

Peace Tarikh, all,
You asked
How can there be unity if no one agrees with each other?
Since when does difference of opinion negate unity? And what kind of unity would you expect if all opinions were identical? (see House M.D.'s post) Doesn't unity imply fundamental concepts and not menial details?
Nevertheless, difference of opinion is actually a sidetrack from your original contention, and that was, "You guys are jokers. How can u condone porn?" Well, it's pretty clear that no one here condones it. However, we are not living in fear of discussing it. Nor are we ashamed or embarrassed to discuss it because, quite simply, it's existence is a fact of life. Thus it is irrelevant what any group of united individuals may extrapolate from such a discussion, particularly one which makes it taboo to even mention such things.
This life, brother, is not about competing with any groups, or trying to gain acceptance from any groups, it is about discovering truth and doing your best to live by it, knowing full well that in the end, that's how you'll be judged. No discussion is taboo as long as the intention behind the willing participants is 'good'.
So, if a specific topic makes you uncomfortable, it's very easy to move along to something else. There really is no need to micromanage every discussion in the context of unity. According to the qur'an, God PURPOSELY made us different so that we may learn from each other. Is there not some wisdom in that?
Peace,

Peace tarikh,
Hey, quit telling me what i should do, what i should read. I have the right to have an opinion too and to express it too, even if you might not agree to it.
Of course you do. But in the course of expressing your opinion, you were off-base, and even exaggerrated with comments like As least submitters dont condone animal sex on their site.
So, please, express away. Just have the common courtesy of doing so based on what's actually being said on the thread.
peace

Of course you have the right to have an opinion. But guess what? So does everyone. If you want to say something without it being scrutinized, there's always the mirror to talk to.
Peace.

Hey you ****** why did u delete my post? Do u suppress freedom of expression?
So you complain about traditionalists being such and such but you are the same as them. You denigrate submitters, you call yourselves muslims, you are ashamed to be called yourselves submitters. Yet, you ******* know well that submitter means muslim. You creators of confusion, discriminative hypocrites. Follow quran alone but not hadith and sunna but also follow the opinions of celebrities politicians etc
You stupid *****, haven't u read my post well? I said i had the right to have an opinion too! Cant you read?
