Verses on Homosexuality
-
Salaam Supernaut
Which is why I humbly believe that the god allows homosexuals to marry.
Yes you can only arrive at this conclusion when you isolate what I said from my whole post. God clearly frowned upon same gender sex. What I am saying is that being simply gay without having homosexual sex is not a sin intself. The sin starts with the act.
People with deformities dont have sex because often times no one wants to have sex with them, but homosexuals find each other attractive. Why should they endure the unhappiness people who cant have sex have to endure? And people dont start having homosexual sex because they cant have heterosexual sex.
Those with deformities and others do have desire but can't have sex. Why shoul they endure the unhappiness people who can have sex (and do have it) do not endure? What I am saying is, homosexuals are not a special case to make societies feel guilty for not allowing them to marry. No one is stopping them from enjoying their homosexual sex as long as they keep it private, just like heterosexuals having illegal sex..It's between them and God. Why don't homosexuals behave like those who have desires and can't have sex? It might be difficult but not impossible if the homosexual cares for their belief. If they don't, then what's the problem? Why do they want a "fatwa"?
But wheres the sense in that? What is the logic in depriving homosexual people the right to have sex which the god acknowledges is an activity humans enjoy with the kind of people they like? And wouldnt the kind of marriages you explained above be miserable ones?
Who is depriving them from having sex? What they want is not just sex, but a "fatwa" to legalize it. Please show me the verse where the god acknowledges sex as an activity humans enjoy "with the kind of people they like". I am not saying sex is not an enjoyable activity, but when you mention the god as acknowleging this act to prove "therefore homosexual act is OK" then you have to prove this.
Any marriage can be miserable. Marriage is not all about sex, and having wonderful sex is not a guarantee to a happy marriage. Even after a marriage has started, one of the couple may become impotent. Does this break the marriage? This is the difference/ and the problem with homosexual idea about marriage it's all about sex; and this is why people with deformity are not whining all over the world, because they know a happy life can have many faces when sex is not one of them.

Well, not exactly, sexual intercourse is a biologically unique function - there's certain kinds of hormone transfer between semen and vaginal fluid that occurs during coitus that does not happen in same gender activities.
All I've read is that having vaginal intercourse the night before can help reduce the stress that men experience while speaking in public. The lack of such a benefit in homosexual intercourse doesn't make it wrong. Popcorn has zero nutritional value so does that mean we should assume the god doesn't want us to eat any? Furthermore, there's evidence that gays and lesbians are aroused by the pheromones of unrelated people of the same sex and humans can smell and taste each others pheromones just by making out.
Sure it may bond people to an extent, but this does not serve the purpose of bonding together the parents of a child because children have one father and one mother.
Some children have no parents and are adopted by homosexual couples who love each other a lot.

My dear friend.
No need to get nasty!!!! You did state that hetrosexuals caused more strife to mankind than homosexuals in order to counter my statement and you also listed people without children as great humanitarians etc etc.
I personally couldn't care less what your views or lifestyle was. But please do not try to attach Homosexuality as a normal form of behaviour and compatable with Islam or try to fight their corner.
If I am a bigot in your eyes, not a problem. As so is the majority of the world because they also hold similar views towards the un-natural practice of Homosexuality, to which I give no apologies. I feel comfort in the fact that at least 1 billion people also share my views. Democracy rules!!!!!
Peace

Peace Roshan,
EXACTLY! 'No one eats with their rear'. This is the statement that shows you understand the principles of what I am talking about on 'homosexuality', but because you have let other people think for you, on some issues, you have allowed their views to become your own insiduously. First of all, plently of people put food (and many other things) up their bottoms, but no-one calls it eating because eating is the process of consuming foods to be absorbed by the body. Ditto for sodomy.
Umm, no, because people do enjoy anal and oral intercourse with members of the same sex. Deny this all you want, but it will always be true.
There is no such thing as homosexuality. However, God mentions same sex perversion in some verses of the Quran (they have already been mentioned). See 415-16
415 And those of your women who commit lewdness, you shall bring four witnesses over them from amongst you; if they bear witness, then you shall restrict them in the homes until death terminates their lives, or God makes for them a way out.
416 And the two men who commit it from amongst you, you shall trouble them. If they repent and amend, then leave them alone. God is Redeemer, Merciful.The story of Lut is also worth a perusal.
The story of Lot isn?t about homosexuals (you should really go through the older thread on homosexuality that I linked Diem to in the first page of this thread) and it?s my humble opinion that 415-16 are about prostitutes, not homosexuals.
As for the other things you wrote, let me tell you the way society (at least in the UK) works. Since the 1960?s left wing atheists, secularists (in reality self-deists) have sought to decrease the influence of religion in society through promoting the ?nanny state? and encouraging people to be selfish and ignore the consequences to society. And of course, the government picks up the tabs and it is a viscious circle. So, free sex is allowed. Children are brainwashed at school to believe it is O.K. so long as you know about contraception. The obvious result is that hoards of unwanted children are either born or aborted and a new underclass is created who are entirely dependent on government hand-outs. These children are mentally unstable and this has huge consequences for society. Part of this breakdown in the family also involves the promoting of ?homosexuality? as a valid sexual choice (by equating it with ?heterosexuality?). If you really want to know about sodomites look up ?cruising?, ?cottaging, ?rimming? and other terms that go along with the perversion. Apparently near a park where I used to live, after these perverts had engaged in their perversion it was left littered with needles, syringes etc. But of course people are so stupid that they equate ?gays? with Jack from Will and Grace, or the other open perverts paraded as fashionable eccentrics on T.V.
Forgive me, but that is just an uninformative and indefensible rant.

Salaam Samia,
Yes you can only arrive at this conclusion when you isolate what I said from my whole post. God clearly frowned upon same gender sex. What I am saying is that being simply gay without having homosexual sex is not a sin intself. The sin starts with the act.
I have reason to believe that the god doesn?t have a problem with the act. Why would It? What harm does it cause? I think Arnold?s understanding of the story of Lot?s people is a more logical one because homosexuality isn?t a threat to anyone or anything.
Those with deformities and others do have desire but can't have sex. Why shoul they endure the unhappiness people who can have sex (and do have it) do not endure? What I am saying is, homosexuals are not a special case to make societies feel guilty for not allowing them to marry.
I think people with deformities should also be allowed to marry and have deformed kids because people have the right to do what they want with their bodies, including having deformed children. If that?s not what you?re disputing then my response to the above is that the suffering of one group of people doesn?t justify causing another group of people to suffer. Your argument is similar to saying that just because a poor person?s kids can?t get good healthcare, absolutely no one should get good healthcare. That kind of thinking gave birth to one of the most miserable and atrocious ideologies ever socialism.
No one is stopping them from enjoying their homosexual sex as long as they keep it private, just like heterosexuals having illegal sex..It's between them and God. Why don't homosexuals behave like those who have desires and can't have sex? It might be difficult but not impossible if the homosexual cares for their belief. If they don't, then what's the problem? Why do they want a "fatwa"?
Some homosexuals don?t want a fatwa. All the want to know is why homosexuality is wrong. There?s no logical reason to claim it?s wrong. Why would the god make some people homosexual and then tell them not to exhibit homosexual behaviour for no good reason at all? Does such a being seem merciful, let alone reasonable?
Who is depriving them from having sex? What they want is not just sex, but a "fatwa" to legalize it.
I don?t think the god criminalizes adultery or fornication. I humbly believe that the god prescribes a punishment for exhibitionistic sex only and that the punishment applies only to people who willing come under the great reading?s jurisdiction. Furthermore, what?s wrong with homosexuals demanding the same right as heterosexuals? Why should they be deprived the right to marry and have sex with the people they want? Many Americans would have thought it extraordinary if Blacks and women had demanded the same rights as White men in early America and we see people having the same kind of attitude today, but towards a different group of people (homosexuals). Same injustice (discrimination), different victims.
Please show me the verse where the god acknowledges sex as an activity humans enjoy "with the kind of people they like".
I don?t think I said that. What I meant was that the god acknowledges that sex is an activity that humans enjoy.
I am not saying sex is not an enjoyable activity, but when you mention the god as acknowleging this act to prove "therefore homosexual act is OK" then you have to prove this.
That?s not what I was arguing. I apologize if what I said was a bit vague.
Any marriage can be miserable. Marriage is not all about sex, and having wonderful sex is not a guarantee to a happy marriage.
Indeed, but you must admit that there often, or maybe even always needs to be sex for a marriage to be a good one.
Even after a marriage has started, one of the couple may become impotent. Does this break the marriage?
Impotent but not incapable of having sex. You must admit that sex is very crucial to most marriages and couples that can?t have sex endure misery. And why shouldn?t people enjoy when they can enjoy?
This is the difference/ and the problem with homosexual idea about marriage it's all about sex;
That?s untrue. Fine, if you think sex isn?t too important to marriage, why don?t you ask heterosexual people to marry people of the same sex but not have sex with them? They?ll tell you that they don?t want to because the thought of being in a romantic relationship with someone of the same sex is repugnant. Similarly, gays and lesbians don?t want to be in a romantic relationship with people of the opposite sex. Oh and research has shown that the brain distinguishes between sex and romance. Go to http//www.livescience.com/health/050531_love_sex.html to read all about it.
and this is why people with deformity are not whining all over the world, because they know a happy life can have many faces when sex is not one of them.
But romance is (I feel so stupid and like such a sissy saying this ) and no one wants a romantic relationship with someone they?re not attracted to.

Umm, no, because people do enjoy anal and oral intercourse with members of the same sex. Deny this all you want, but it will always be true.
Firstly, an unsubstantiated claim by yourself ('deny this all you want..'. Sodomy is wrong and a perversion whether between two men or a man and a woman (oral 'sex', as mentioned before is a form of masturbation). I note you are unable to make any rebutal to the principles of my analogy and are resorting to unsubstantiated claims.
The story of Lot isn?t about homosexuals (you should really go through the older thread on homosexuality that I linked Diem to in the first page of this thread)
It is, to some extent. Same sex perversion was one of their multitude of perversions.
and it?s my humble opinion that 415-16 are about prostitutes, not homosexuals.
Prositutes are not mentioned, only perversion between members of the same sex. You believe the verse refers to prostitution probably because you do not believe same sex perversion is wrong (based on irrationality as mentioned before).
Forgive me, but that is just an uninformative and indefensible rant.
I forgive you because you are unable to understand the gravity of the situation faced. My comments clearly indicate why this question on 'homosexuality' is important and was in response to your 'what people do in their own bedrooms is no-one's business' ignorant comments. The effect of sex outside of marriage is clearly visible to those who want to open their eyes.
However, some do not wish to open their eyes.

Firstly, an unsubstantiated claim by yourself ('deny this all you want..'.
Erogenous zones are parts of the body that, when stimulated, elicit sexual arousal. Precisely which body parts are sources of sexual arousal is a very individual experience.
The genitals are the most obvious erogenous zones, but many parts of the body not involved in reproduction are sensitive to sexual touch. The largest sensory organ for both men and women is the skin itself, especially the inner thigh area, the neck, the breasts and nipples, and the perineum.Other erogenous zones include the eyelids, the ears, and the shoulders. Many people also find that having their feet stroked is arousing. Stroking, caressing and massaging of erogenous zones can be titillating forms of sensual pleasure in and of themselves, or they can be invitations to further sexual activity.
The mouth, including the lips and tongue, for most people, is an area of high erotic potential. Kissing is one act that uses the sensitivity of this region in a sexually stimulating way.
The anus, rectum and buttocks are also potentially erogenous zones. The anus is highly sensitive to touch and the insertion of a finger, object or penis in the anus and rectum is part of some people's sexual activity.
The buttocks are sometimes a target for spanking and stroking, which can feel very arousing to some people.

Well I?ve substantiated my claims now (I didn?t think I?d have to before because what you?re arguing is obviously ridiculous) and in doing so have shown your analogy to be a faulty one. The strongest argument you have against homosexuality is based on nothing more than an appeal to nature logical fallacy.
It is, to some extent. Same sex perversion was one of their multitude of perversions.
I take it that you still haven?t gone through the older thread on homosexuality.
Prositutes are not mentioned, only perversion between members of the same sex. You believe the verse refers to prostitution probably because you do not believe same sex perversion is wrong (based on irrationality as mentioned before).
415-16 The women who commit lewdness, you shall bring four witnesses over them from amongst you; if they bear witness, then you shall restrict them in the homes until death takes them, or God makes for them a way out. The two who commit it from amongst you, then you shall reprimand them. If they repent and amend, then leave them alone. God is Redeemer, Compassionate.
415 mentions a group of women (lesbians don?t always engage in group sex) and the word alazani can also refer to a man and woman instead of just two men. It is my humble understanding that the above verses command muslims to put prostitutes (male or female) who willingly come under islamic jurisdiction under protective custody till the god makes it safe for them to come out of their homes. Prostitutes are vulnerable people (pimps and slave traders are sometimes very violent towards their prostitutes, and some punters are very abusive too) and they?re also a health risk to society.
My comments clearly indicate why this question on 'homosexuality' is important and was in response to your 'what people do in their own bedrooms is no-one's business' ignorant comments. The effect of sex outside of marriage is clearly visible to those who want to open their eyes.
What you said isn?t true for all homosexuals. Your argument is similar to saying that since a few Mexicans are drug dealers, Mexicans in general are bad people who deal in drugs an ugly and bigoted fallacious argument.
-

When the proper analysis is that since drug abuse harms a lot of people, society benefits from government policy working to minimize drug abuse.
Likewise, misuse of human sexuality harms a lot of people, breaks up a lot of families, and is a bit cause of poverty. The focus of sex education is all wrong, particularly where I am in the UK, it's all about 'feeling comfortable' about what you are doing, entirely ignoring the context of marriage.
This link is typical of sex education in the UK. It encourages teenagers to be a little bit critical of peer pressure to have sex, and has a kind of feel good quality to it. But there is no serious attempt to convey what responsibility actually is, an no mention of the value and importance of marriage.
http//www.bebooksonline.co.uk/girls_and_boys/default.htm
I think there is a strong relationship between this obtuse failure of sex education and the activities of gay lobby groups arguing that anything that feels good is sex and on a par with marriage. It's garbage. Just because some patches of skin are sensitive doesn't mean that sticking dildos into every orifice is going to make a happy family and a stable environment for raising children. Such fallacious arguments need to be rooted out so society can progress.

FAR
My friend. From where I come from, this is the definition of homosexual
Main Entry 1ho?mo?sex?u?al
Pronunciation \h-m-sek-sh(-)wl, -sek-shl
Function adjective1 of, relating to, or characterized by a tendency to direct sexual desire toward another of the same sex
2 of, relating to, or involving sexual intercourse between persons of the same sexHow have homosexuals been procreating over the centuries without the use of the opposite sex and how would one avoid same sexism?
Please elaborate.
Peace
FAR seems to be a pretty fine man
he is gay but isn't in a gay relationship
would you kill him?
-
Yosemite
How would you define being 'gay' but not in a gay relationship?
Are you saying that FAR hasn't found a compatible same sex partner as yet or he's gay meaning he is happy, as the term gay was originally used, until well into the mid-20th century, primarily to refer to feelings of being "carefree," "happy," or "bright and showy"?
As far as killing him is concerned, I suggest you lay off the pipe and take heed of the following ayat
6151 (Asad) Say "Come, let me convey unto you what God has forbidden to you "Do not ascribe divinity, in any way, to aught beside Him; and do good unto your parents; and do not kill your children for fear of poverty - it is We who shall provide sustenance for you as well as for them; and do not commit any shameful deeds, be they open or secret; and do not take any human being's life- which God has declared to be sacred -otherwise than in justice this has He enjoined upon you so that you might use your reason;
Peace

salaam
they way you word your post against homosexuality made me believe that you had a "traditionalist" view on them sorry about that
i said that FAR refuses to go into homosexual activities, he said it sereval times already, he also said he was homosexual, so to me he is fine, right, refusing to fall to his deep desires
I actually knew someone who was strictly against homosexuals and would be killing anyone who is homosexual, he was a "traditionalist" muslim.
Once on a walk, one of the class mate said that "this man is gay"
The "traditionalist" immediatly stared him with a mean look and was really angry at him, for no apparent reason because that homosexual didn't look homo at all. (nothing like you would see in gayprides or in a society that openly accepts homosexual activities as normal)
-
i said that FAR refuses to go into homosexual activities, he said it sereval times already, he also said he was homosexual, so to me he is fine, right, refusing to fall to his deep desires.
The way FAR says he thinks gay men are meant to marry gay women makes me somehow doubt that he has the same understanding of what homosexuality means than the rest of us!

You've got a mistaken view that a homosexual must mean "same sex".
http//www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/06/080617151845.htm
You avoid same sexual behaviour by taking the example of Andrea Dworkin, which is more closer to the quran than what some people who call themselves muslim who pratice same sex fornication.
http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_Dworkin#Relationship_with_John_Stoltenberg
The way FAR says he thinks gay men are meant to marry gay women makes me somehow doubt that he has the same understanding of what homosexuality means than the rest of us!
And that's the challenge facing humanity. That all these inversely gendered (refer to the science daily link above) people use their minds to consider the shell rather than what is. This is so true for even the so called secularist heterosexual couple where it's look first, flirt afterwards, and ask questions... maybe never as it's too late.
Let's consider the marriage rate of same sex couples...
http//www.narth.com/docs/sweden.html
The survey revealed a high rate of legal divorce among homosexual couples in Sweden. Gay male couples were 50% more likely to divorce within an eight-year period than were heterosexuals; and lesbian couples were 167% more likely to divorce than heterosexual couples.
According to IMAPP "Even among childless households, same-sex male partnerships experienced almost a 50% higher likelihood (1.49 times as likely) of divorce during the study period, while childless lesbian couples were three times as likely (200% higher likelihood) to break up as a married couple without children."
http//www.familyresearchinst.org/FRI_EduPamphlet7.html
And that's gay men with lesbian women, not gay men with gay (heterosexual) women. That's the best solution for the homosexual, not the definition of what I consider to be a homosexual. A homosexual shall be medically described as having an opposite gendered brain to the heterosexual (refer to the science daily link).
(What's with all the FAR in the third person???)

Actually, it doesn't. Government's got no right to tell people what they can and can't do with their bodies and making drugs illegal does very little to stop people from taking drugs. To reduce all the problems associated with drug trafficking, government should simply legalize drugs. Gangs, pushers, and that thrill people get from doing illegal drugs will vanish almost completely if pushers and users don't have to go through so much trouble to get drugs.
Likewise, misuse of human sexuality harms a lot of people,
How is it misuse? You keep asserting that homosexuality is bad but you don't show how.
breaks up a lot of families
That only happens because narrow-minded homophobic people have a problem with homosexuals. Homosexuals can't be blamed for that. To blame homosexuals for homophobia is no different from saying that Blacks were responsible for the racism against them simply because they were Black.
and is a bit cause of poverty.
Because bigoted people don't like to hire homosexuals.

I'm not arguing that sticking a dildo into every orifice will make a happy family and is on a par with marriage. Please stop making straw man arguments and please stop claiming that homosexuality is wrong without showing me why.

You've misread my post. When I said misuse of sexuality, I was talking more widely then homosexuality. In particular, adultery breaks up marriages, and thus causes child poverty because one parent doesn't have the earning power of two parents.
Obviously, homosexuality doesn't cause poverty. This problem of employers not hiring homosexuals is completely off the mark - gays on average are better paid and better educated than heterosexuals. And certainly in the UK, politically they are hugely disproportionately over represented - go to any meeting of a mainstream UK political party and you'll find 40-50% of members are gay or bi-sexual. Gays are not a disadvantaged minority.
But as I've said, the reason it is discouraged in religion is that it does not tend towards the creation of healthy families. Because morality is about responsibility, and we have a responsibility to give the next generation the best possible start in life, which requires them to be born.
This is why drugs which encourage people to be irresponsible are also bad, especially if they are legal. Because you can't be a responsible person if you're stoned.

liquiddharma,

Alright, but you've not shown how homosexuality is a "misuse of sexuality". Also, why would you bring up other "misuses of sexuality" into a discussion on homosexuality except to tacitly equate the two?

That isn't true for every country. Openly gay people aren't even allowed to live in peace and security, much less get jobs in "Muslim countries".
But as I've said, the reason it is discouraged in religion is that it does not tend towards the creation of healthy families.
Are you saying that a healthy family can only be one in which the kids are the biological kids of the parents? Perhaps every country should outlaw adoption completely.
Because morality is about responsibility, and we have a responsibility to give the next generation the best possible start in life, which requires them to be born.
What is your evidence that the god has a problem with people not procreating? Do you absolutely have to bring kids into this world to be a good parent or can you also adopt a kid and give it love, care and a good education, etc. to be a good parent?
This is why drugs which encourage people to be irresponsible are also bad, especially if they are legal.
I never argued they're not bad. Oh and how does being homosexual make you irresponsible?
Because you can't be a responsible person if you're stoned.
But I think your sexuality has no bearing on how responsible you are.
-
Face it people. You have no good reason to believe that homosexuality is wrong, and since you don't have a single good reason to believe it's wrong, don't you think you should absolutely never claim that the god says it's wrong? Is the god an unreasonable despot who prohibits certain things without any reason?

Supernaut
Unfortunately, you seem to be living in cloud cuckoo land. Homosexuality, maybe okay in your eyes and in your perverse translation of the Qur'an in order to find your comfort level, but to the vast majority of the world it is not okay and neither is it normal or natural. As far as Islam is concerned, homosexuality is a no no and will always be.
You have been shown time and time again that the Qur'an forbids any sexual relationship other than in a marriage between a man and a woman. But you still insist that many homosexual men and women claim that they are born with their sexual preferences and that they have no choice. Although this point is very much in dispute in the medical world, it has no support in the Qur'an. Even then, irrespective of the nature of homosexuality, this matter would not affect the laws spelled out clearly in the Qur'an .
We know that this life is a test. Everyone of us has his/her own test. For example someone may be born blind, but that person is expected to live his/her life according to God's law. Others are born poor, short, tall, weak, missing fingers, having big nose...etc but all of them are expected to follow God's law. Some men or women may never marry in their life, or spend part of their life without a spouse. As per the Qur'an they still have to live a chaste life and avoid any sexual contacts outside a marriage. They have to suppress their sexual feelings to follow God's law. It is a major test and not an easy one for many. Only those who submit to God will do everything they can to follow His law. They know that their salvation and eternal happiness rests in doing so.
Since God condemns homosexuality, then we have to believe that a man or a woman with homosexual feelings is expected to behave like any other human being and follows God's laws if he/she truely believes in them. He/she shall resist his/her feelings , maintains abstinence , use all available resources of help including medical, social and behavioral therapies to overcome their behavior and feelings. They should pray to God to help them getting over it and submit to God's law that sees homosexuality as gross sin. Only those who steadfastly persevere in obeying God's law will they pass their test and confirm their submission to God.
There's and old saying ' God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve'.
Read and digest the following ayats in order to determine your natual choice of partner in light of the Qur'an and Islam
41 (Asad) O MANKIND! Be conscious of your Sustainer, who has created you out of one living entity, and out of it created its mate, and out of the two spread abroad a multitude of men and women. And remain conscious of God, in whose name you demand from one another, and of these ties of kinship. Verily, God is ever watchful over you!
7189 (Asad) IT IS HE who has created you out of one living entity, and out of it brought into being its mate, so that man might incline towards woman. And so, when he has embraced her, she conceives a light burden, and continues to bear it. Then, when she grows heavy , they both call unto God, their Sustainer, "If Thou indeed grant us a sound , we shall most certainly be among the grateful!"
396 (Asad) He has created you out of one living entity, and out of it fashioned its mate; and he has be?stowed upon you four kinds of cattle of either sex; He creates you in your mothers? wombs, one act of creation after another, in threefold depths of darkness. Thus is God, your Sustainer unto Him belongs all dominion there is no deity save Him how, then, can you lose sight of the truth?
4913 (Asad) O men! Behold, We have created you all out of a male and a female, and have made you into nations and tribes, so that you might come to know one another. Verily, the noblest of you in the sight of God is the one who is most deeply conscious of Him. Behold, God is all-knowing, all-aware.
788 (Asad) And We have created you in pairs;
424 (Asad) And all married women other than those whom you rightfully possess this is God's ordinance, binding upon you. But lawful to you are all beyond these, for you to seek out, offering them of your possessions, taking them in honest wedlock, and not in fornication. And unto those with whom you desire to enjoy marriage, you shall give the dowers due to them; but you will incur no sin if, after this lawful due, you freely agree with one another upon anything behold, God is indeed all-knowing, wise.
55 (Asad) Today, all the good things of life have been made lawful to you. And the food of those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime is lawful to you, and your food is lawful to them.
