gay people and islam

The idea thrown around here seems to be that if one is opposed to homosexuality, automatically means that the individual is FOR punishment/exile/stoning of the homosexuals. If I'm not mistaken, there's only one person (maybe two) who agree with this idea at all.
Can one say they're against something, as Kyle pointed out numerous times, and speak up against it, without the follow-up of violence? idea
Peace

Peace be upon you Elke,
there's just one thing that hits me in your position, sorry if it may be a bit out of the subject - even though mentioned above.
No problem, lets hear it D
You state that the sole purpose of penis and vagina "sockets" is to produce life
No, we also use them to get rid of waste matter. The purpose of the SEXUAL ACT is to produce life.
and this should mean that once we have the amount of kids we 'decided' to have we should stop having sexual relations with our spouses cause we're supposed to be chaste...
By chaste I mean refrainig from excess, not virginity or celibacy. Sister Elena also asked me a similar question to which I truthfully can not answer at this time. There is the position that there are other aspects of the sexual act between man and women that we should understand. It deals with sexual energy and other metaphysical topics that I am not learned in at this time.
But in any case, the goal of sex is orgasm, is it not? What happens when a human reaches orgasm? What is the purpose of that automatic reaction?
So in a way, a couple that doesn't manage to produce these kids has at least the pleasure of continuing their activities - kind of a consolation prize
I will agree at this point until I learn more, and that is based on my emotional conditioning towards sex, which TV and magazines watse no efforts on reinforcing. D However, it would make more sense and would be more responsible t emulate the TRUE form, without being EXCESSIVE, rather than go to the extreme just for the emotion of LUST.
No really, i believe that we also have a right to enjoy the good things of life as long as it's not to the detriment of others. And tell me what is more beautiful than a loving physical relation ?
Peace is the most beautiful thing there is, far superior to sexual pleasure.
If a man likes having sex with farm animals, and "feels" justified in his perversion, even if it is by himself on a farm, should we not be concerned? Dont we want for all what we want for ourselves? We have to develop more ONENESS, there is too much disconnection in this topic, too much "over there" talk, instead of ONENESS talk. Mankind is ONE COMMUNITY, seperation is the devils tool.

To those who favor homsexuality-
a moment,
I don't favour anything, I am standing up agaisnt intolerance like that 'exile' ideas stated in this same thread.Then I was not addressing this post to you D
Tolerance- sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one's own
However, in regards to tolerance, should we be tolerant of people having sex with farm animals?

it is difficult to make the two things fit. I mean, every time that the word 'perversion' is used here or when equating homosexuality with children molestation I find those expressions denigrating for the homosexual people who don't commit children molestation, abuse, or any other crime. It is not direct violence but I find it intolerant, as much time it is repeated 'we are not against the person'

Peace be upon you Sawtooth,
To those who favor homsexuality-
Is it okay for humans to have sex with animals? Even if they "love" thier animals? Perhaps that falls under one of the NON PRIMARY uses of "plugs and sockets". Someone please advise me.
yup that's right, sounds good to me
You see, when you allow the emotions to lead, there is no end to the perversion of both thought and act.
Thank you for your honesty at least, hopefully it will make the seriousness of this topic clear to others.

idolfree.... When in adoleselce, SOME people find themselves confused over what they are feeling in regards to others. Some may find that they are atracted to an individual and feel that they are either one way or another sexually and look into those feelings. Some find out they are homosexuals, some find out they were confusing their emotions. THAT is experimentation. Emtions are not always easy to figure out, but sexual atraction coes down to how a body reacts. it DOES or it DOESN'T
and YES that goes for both genders. Sometimes the IDEA of a taboo can be a turn on while the reality proves to be a complete turnoff, but you don't know until you put it to the test SOMETIMES
-
Peace idol-free and all. With the example of farm animals,rape,child-abuse etc..These are wrong...Why? Because there is no consent from the abused. What can also be harmful is abusing the trust/vulnerability of members of society who have either not yet reached maturity, or have not come to understand their sexuality.
Peace all. -

The human will NEVER see clearly until emotions are taken out of the reasoning process.
Sister, I cant sugar coat what is obvious. A perversion is a perversion.
Main Entry per?ver?sion
Pronunciation p&r-'v&r-zh&n, -sh&n
Function noun
1 the action of perverting the condition of being perverted
2 a perverted form; especially an aberrant sexual practice especially when habitual and preferred to normal coitusOn another note, why cant we also address those Homosexuals that DO molest like the Catholic Priest Epedemic? Are they all born homosexuals also?

Peace be upon you Elena,

Elena
again equating homosexuals with other kind of peopleThis question is about tolerance of sexual acts, not human beings. Please understand the difference. Do not get "angry" wih me, stay at PEACE and reason with me.

Peace Elena,

This is true. Atleast with most I've seen are people who are against the act. Sure, those opposing equate the act (not the person) to other acts, like child molestation, because they believe both are a matter of choice, not that both do the same thing or interchange in any way. While some may be disgusted at the thought of abuse or public indecency or any other "crime"... others see it in the same light. -
Peace idol-free and all. I am going to make an observation to you idol-free. Why do you tell certain members that they are 'emotional' and so cannot see the situation in a 'true' light? Has it occured to you that you may be being emotional yourself on this topic? Im saying this as a brother and not to disrespest you. I think we all need the feedback(constructive) of others.
Peace all. -
Peace

every person who commits a crime, of course demand him, persecute him and jail him.
you are resorting to my emotions. When we agree it is also my emotions that drive me?

Thats not true. The "body" reacts based on programming. There are heterosexual couples who "loved" each other but have gone through so much EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS (arguments or what have you) that they cant get excited for sex with each other anymore. Likes and dislikes change, they are not "YOU". They are not the "I".
and YES that goes for both genders. Sometimes the IDEA of a taboo can be a turn on while the reality proves to be a complete turnoff, but you don't know until you put it to the test SOMETIMES
So since there is KNOWLEDGE hat crack kills, you are saying thatit is natural for someone to "try it out" just to be extra extra sure?
-
Peace all. Other sexual acts which are harmful include those which carry an irrational amount of risk to the doer and/or the people around. eg People have hurt themselves with bondage,whips,electricity,drugs,exposing themselves,unhygienic practises,animals etc..
Consent,rationality,knowledge and ethics are required to avoid harm.(as with all other fields of life).

Peace all.How about the dog that humps your leg? Surely that would be "consenting", is it okay for the human "returns the favor"?

Peace all.I respect that question GREATLY! Please go back through the posts and you will CLEARLY OBSERVE who is reasoning behind emotion and who is not.
The key words for emotions are those who are stating "love", "Hate", "feelings", "sympathy", etc.
Thats emotion.
My position is based on FORM and FUNCTION, there is no emotion involved with that. There is no emotion in my decision to put a plug in a socket. Please respond if there is any point at all that you disagree with what I have said here. I would like to make this as clear as I can.
That is what this "religion" stuff is truly all about, once we get rid of the nonsense.

Peace idol-free and all.. The example of the dog would be that i have not consented,therefore it is harmful to me so i would move away from the dog. I take consent to be between the two parties.(not just one) Certain sexual behaviours can be harmful even if both parties consent(eg use of a whip in sex),but this has to be deemed harmful either by those indulging in it or 'neutral' people suggesting that this 'act is/can be harmful. We ourselves(or even 'universal law' )are not the sole judges of what is harmful.

every person who commits a crime, of course demand him, persecute him and jail him.Where is the rehabilitation aspect? (check Herekhuti in Maat 11 Laws Book). We should not be jailing people for a time then letting them go with teh very same mindset, or even worse. Thats theproblem with the business of prisons, but thats another topic.
you are resorting to my emotions. When we agree it is also my emotions that drive me?
How is asking you about Catholic Priests resorting to your emotions sister?
If that question causes you to get emotional, then you realize there is work to be done thier for your person. If this is an emotional topic for you, how will you expect to see clearly?

I didnt say anything about "YOU", I asked of the sexual pervert who responds to the dog humping his/her leg, would they be wrong to respond to the dog, since they are both "consenting"?
We ourselves(or even 'universal law' )are not the sole judges of what is harmful.
By saying "sole" judges, you are saying that we are indeed judges, correct?
