Homosexuality LGBTQI and the deen
-
Greetings and Peace, all group
A zombie thread--just in time for Halloween! My comments in red.
We are given a clear example of homosexuality in the Quran - both private and consenting, as well as the craziness that is unfolding in the West during our times...
The word "homosexual" is not used in the Qur'an.
2754 And Lot, when he said to his people "Are you committing immorality (fahisha) while you can clearly see?"
2755 "You are approaching the men out of lust instead of the women! No, you are an ignorant people!"
As commented before, approaching any person out of lust is not okay.
2756 But the reply of his people was that they said, "Expel the people/followers/family of Lot from your town, for they are a people who are being pure!"
Do you not realize that is exactly what happens today?! When you call out fags/gays/sodomites/homosexuals on their behavior, you are called a bigot, homophobe, get publicly shamed, etc.
Surely there are ways to effectively communicate without purposefully offending others/using offensive language? What behavior have you witnessed (seen with your own eyes) that required intervention/comment?
4911 O you who believe, let not any people ridicule other people, for they may be better than they. Nor shall any women ridicule other women, for they may be better than they. Nor shall you mock one another, or call each other names; miserable indeed is the name of wickedness after attaining faith. And anyone who does not repent, then these are the transgressors.
Also note this verse does not talk about merely aggressive/rapacious homos. It talks about homos in general. Homosexuality is of the same degree as pedophilia and transgenderism. Indeed, pedophilia is of the same kind of mental/sexual deviance as homosexuality. In the past, Western media actually called pedos "homosexuals." It's a mental illness and sexual deviance. I too was once brainwashed into being tolerant and twisting the Quran's words to justify faggotry/homosexuality to be allowed, when clearly it is against God's law ("kitab" in the Quran and in nature.
Modern science classifies homosexuality as neither mental illness nor abnormality. If homosexuality were against the intentions of the Almighty/"God's law", then why is it found in all known species that are capable of sexual reproduction?
Homos need to get help. A lot of times it is because of past abuse or general mental illness that they are too weak to control. The problem is that the corrupted media owned by "you know who" is encouraging all of this along with the bought/controlled government.
There is no known way to "help" a homosexual change their sexual orientation.
Be truthful, be logical, and be good to others. If the way of somebody else doesn't appeal to you, don't emulate them. All major differences will be sorted out on Judgment Day.
May ALLAH see fit to Guide all seekers.

780 And Lot, when he said to his people "Do you commit immorality to an extent that none among all mankind/beings had surpassed you?"
781 "You approach men with lust instead of women! You are a transgressing people!"
And what is their response? What today would be "bigot!" or "homophobe!" Booohooo! Lot did not care.
782 His people responded by saying, "Evict them from your town. They are people who wish to be pure."
Thus, homosexuality is the opposite of being pure/clean.
783 We saved him and his family, except for his wife; she was of those who lagged behind.
784 We showered them with a shower, so see what the punishment for the criminals was.
Homosexuals are criminals - except for those that repent and ammend. Clearly, these homos were stuck in their ways and defied God's law sent by his messenger and God's natural law that dictates that a man's mate is a woman whom he can procreate with, not to stick his penis in another man's butt!
You are brainwashed by the Jewish-owned media that is telling you being gay is good, normal and needs to be tolerated. Guess what that does not fly according to God's law. It is very clear. God created us humans in pairs - male and female. No wonder homos have weird sounding voices and act in a weird manner. They are delusional and mentally ill. There are many studies on this. Many homos were touched/abused. It is a sad thing. They need to seek help. However, advocating homosexuality and causing it to spread, appraoching gay and normal men with lust is a gross abomination and immorality.
26160 The people of Lot denied the messengers.
26161 For their brother Lot said to them "Will you not be observant?"
26162 "I am to you a trustworthy messenger."
26163 "So observe God and obey me."
26164 "I do not ask you for a wage for my reward is upon the Lord of all mankind/beings."
26165 "You approach males among all of mankind/beings?"
26166 "You leave what your Lord has created for you of mates? You are an intrusive people!"
Their response "bigot!" "homophobe!"
26167 They said, "If you do not cease, O Lot, you will be among those driven out!"
And now, "Abdul-Hadi," pay attention
26168 He said, "I am in severe opposition to your acts!"
Engaging in homosexuality and causing it to spread is evil. Period. Whether this causes cognitive dissonance in you because of cultural marxist brainwashing does not change the fact that it is evil and condemned.
Look what is happening nowadays... Homosexuality, transgenderism, etc... it is being normalized! That is what the people of Lot's town were doing.
Further verses to bear in mind
4118 God has cursed him (al shaytan); and he had said, "I will take from Your servants a sizeable portion."
4119 "I will misguide them and make them desire. And I will command them, so that they will mark the ears of the livestock. And I will command them so they will make change to God's creation." Whoever takes the devil as a supporter other than God, then he has indeed lost a great loss.
2419 Surely, those who love to see immorality* spread among the believers, shall be punished in this world and in the life to come. For, God knows and you do not know.

It is interesting that the only ayas brought to bear on this question are Lut ayas.
Sexual dealings between people of the same sex are very old and were nothing new when Lut was born. On the other hand, what the people of Lut were committing was not mere same sex dealings. If it were merely that Lut would have hd no reason to know or speak publicly about it. Remember suraAn-Nur and other ayas how we are ordered not to meddle and invade the intimacy of anybody. Not only Lut would not have spoken about a private deal, but could have hardly done that according to God's command regarding privacy. He could of course have talked to individual people if given possibility by the interested person and have given advice to them any way he considered appropriate but not launch in public the kind of talk he held to his people in the events narrated in the Qur'an.
To note, Qur'an never admonishes directly to grous or kndividuals involved in fahisha but deals with it in general terms and without addressing knowable people, except where it narrates somehing already old,like in Yusuf's case, never anybody who could be then and there pointed out.
Also to note that even in Lut?s ayas, it is not God who says everything that is usually brought to bear on this question as if it settled it. It is prohet?s Lut?s words, not God?s, that are quoted. N the whole event God does not say anything.
Prophet Lut, tome one of he most moving in Qur?an, is in very dire straights. In real mortal danger from his own people who is traying to destroy him and his handful followers. It is not any private practice, corrupt or otherwise, that is worrying him. His ppeople is being definitely aggresive, atacking. Hey want to be handed the couple of guests. What for? We can only guess. To join their gang and their debauchery or riots? Wht kind of debauchery or riots? The Quran is not very explicit and it does not need to be. It says what is necessary. Women are excluded from it. That gives a hint that what they do when between them is something that does not pass the test of even outward minimum decorum.
What is translated as ?out of lust?, I think it has been done so because of adhering to the biblical narration of Sodoma and Gomorra and not because of strict adherence to Qur?an. ?Shahwatan?, were it appears in the Qur?an in other occurrences, does not mean "outof lust" and here it may not mean that either. And what Abdul Hadi says
?As commented before, approaching any person out of lust is not okay.?Why should be approaching a female out of lust be okay?
On the other hand, I do not agree that the stated fact that other species also have same sex dealings proves anything right or wrong, normal or abnormal. If we were to take that as proof of anything, we would have to admit that killing and stealing are also ?normal?, which may be, but it does not make then right or good.
Also change ?homosexuals? to ?hetero?, there I think that many people in fact do it all the time. Some ?homos? are not born ?homos?, some are. And people do change, from many things into other things, due to many causes. And also, to note, sciency is not necessarily impartial nor right.
And I disagree with the approach of taking anybody?s behaviour as part of a group. Each person is her or his own. You cannot use a group to subsume the person. There are not ?heteros? or ?homos?, there are persons, only persons, not groupings. And a group may or may not change but persons can change, for good and for bad. Sexuality is not labels. Sexuality is a divine gift too hard to handle and most people, whether labelled ?hetero? or ?homo? have inmense problems handling it. But the worst thing that can be done in order that people learn to handle it is to put labels. Labels are lies. The only truth is EACH person and her or his divine gifts and how she or he administers them.

Wow. I think that Islam and other religions have been traditionally opposed to sex outside of marriage between anything other than human men and human women but despite that, like in all things, I think the bottom line in Islam is that the Qur'an warns that people will face Judgment from God and that they can do whatever they want or think is best and then will personally face Judgment, reward, or punishment.
So if someone is really sure of themselves then the Qur'an seems to say stuff like "wait and see" basically.
So I don't think anyone needs to blow any blood vessels trying to prove this or that to anyone. We all throw our dice or place our bets on our choices or horses and see who wins or not, who has the best strategy or not, who is most fearful and sincere or not.
So if a person wants to drink or do drugs I don't know why they should insist upon it. We think it is a bad idea for example and will lead to bad now and later, others think it is fine now and that they won't be harmed later either for that. So be it. I really only fuss with people I care for but ultimately people will always find justifications for what they really want to pursue.
So if they want to be gay and gay muslims even they will simply have to take that to Allah in the end.
You're right, up to a certain degree. However, do not forget God has commanded for there to be a community enjoying on the people what is right and forbidding what is wrong.
Also this subject is not one with any ambiguity. The verses are as clear as water. Homosexuality is an abomination with a punishment prescribed.Are you saying that the believers should remain silent while one individual commands unrighteousness and immorality among the people.
Remaining silent is worse.
We shouldn't dispute with each other about verses except what is clear and this again is direct and straightforward.
There are several examples from Lut's people with clear language emphasizing on the wrongdoing they had done and there is a punishment prescribed for homosexual acts in another Surah.
This cannot be debated nor ignored and remaining silent to it, is also wrong.
The issue is that these arguing against logic and truth are probably not even homosexuals, however they have been indoctrinated and swayed into this false sense of progression, modernity, acceptance which is provided by western culture.

Greetings and peace all group
My comments in red.
780 And Lot, when he said to his people "Do you commit immorality to an extent that none among all mankind/beings had surpassed you?"
Wow. Now translations are being twisted because of an agenda. The ayat states "such that none of those of the worlds had done before." Homosexuality existed in human society long before the people of Lot--this alone should show that homosexuality/homosexual acts are not the main issue.
781 "You approach men with lust instead of women! You are a transgressing people!"
And what is their response? What today would be "bigot!" or "homophobe!" Booohooo! Lot did not care.
Without commenting on the appropriateness (or lack thereof) of the response today, good luck with using that as a valid reason for not following clear Guidance when one knows better.
782 His people responded by saying, "Evict them from your town. They are people who wish to be pure."
Thus, homosexuality is the opposite of being pure/clean.
Which word meant homosexuality again? And why would it effect men and women and children? And the word that is taken to mean homosexuality--does it have other uses in AQ? And did the people of Lot commit clear transgressions that were clearly not pertaining to homosexuality (evil in assemblies, robbery, tempting the Almighty, etc)? If married men were sexually approaching other men, would that not make them adulterers--which is clearly elsewhere labeled as immorality?
783 We saved him and his family, except for his wife; she was of those who lagged behind.
784 We showered them with a shower, so see what the punishment for the criminals was.
Homosexuals are criminals - except for those that repent and ammend. Clearly, these homos were stuck in their ways and defied God's law sent by his messenger and God's natural law that dictates that a man's mate is a woman whom he can procreate with, not to stick his penis in another man's butt!
Homosexuals are not criminals unless they commit some other crime. It really doesn't work for a homosexual to be paired with somebody that they have no attraction for. Why would anyone care what somebody else does in private--is the same importance/emphasis placed on what consenting heterosexual adults do?
You are brainwashed by the Jewish-owned media that is telling you being gay is good, normal and needs to be tolerated. Guess what that does not fly according to God's law. It is very clear. God created us humans in pairs - male and female. No wonder homos have weird sounding voices and act in a weird manner. They are delusional and mentally ill. There are many studies on this. Many homos were touched/abused. It is a sad thing. They need to seek help. However, advocating homosexuality and causing it to spread, appraoching gay and normal men with lust is a gross abomination and immorality.
Which "Jewish-owned media" would that be, anyway? A homosexual pair is also a pair. Bring your evidences that purport to show that homosexuals are delusional/mentally ill.
26160 The people of Lot denied the messengers.
26161 For their brother Lot said to them "Will you not be observant?"
26162 "I am to you a trustworthy messenger."
26163 "So observe God and obey me."
26164 "I do not ask you for a wage for my reward is upon the Lord of all mankind/beings."
26165 "You approach males among all of mankind/beings?"
26166 "You leave what your Lord has created for you of mates? You are an intrusive people!"
Their response "bigot!" "homophobe!"
Really? Which ayat was that?
26167 They said, "If you do not cease, O Lot, you will be among those driven out!"
And now, "Abdul-Hadi," pay attention
26168 He said, "I am in severe opposition to your acts!"
Engaging in homosexuality and causing it to spread is evil. Period. Whether this causes cognitive dissonance in you because of cultural marxist brainwashing does not change the fact that it is evil and condemned.
Not that it has anything to do with the topic, but what position does Marxism have on homosexuality anyway? From what I read, it seems to have a checkered past.
Look what is happening nowadays... Homosexuality, transgenderism, etc... it is being normalized! That is what the people of Lot's town were doing.
How would you know, were you there? Transgenderism among the people of Lot is surely speculation.
Further verses to bear in mind
4118 God has cursed him (al shaytan); and he had said, "I will take from Your servants a sizeable portion."
4119 "I will misguide them and make them desire. And I will command them, so that they will mark the ears of the livestock. And I will command them so they will make change to God's creation." Whoever takes the devil as a supporter other than God, then he has indeed lost a great loss.
2419 Surely, those who love to see immorality* spread among the believers, shall be punished in this world and in the life to come. For, God knows and you do not know.
*"fahisha" - same word used in the verses talking about Lot's people
How exactly does homosexuality spread?
If homosexuals ~were~ mentally ill, consider 4817
4817 There is no burden on the blind, nor is there any burden on the cripple, nor is there any burden on the sick. And whoever obeys God and His messenger, He will admit them into gardens with rivers flowing beneath them; and whoever turns away, He will punish him with a painful retribution.
Never mind that there is no "cure" for what modern science recognizes as being normal.
1736 And do not uphold what you have no knowledge of; for the hearing, and eyesight, and mind - all these you are responsible for.
What does the American Psychological Association have to say about homosexuality?
Is homosexuality a mental disorder?
No, lesbian, gay and bisexual orientations are not disorders. Research has found no inherent association between any of these sexual orientations and psychopathology. Both heterosexual behavior and homosexual behavior are normal aspects of human sexuality. Both have been documented in many different cultures and historical eras. Despite the persistence of stereotypes that portray lesbian, gay and bisexual people as disturbed, several decades of research and clinical experience have led all mainstream medical and mental health organizations in this country to conclude that these orientations represent normal forms of human experience. Lesbian, gay and bisexual relationships are normal forms of human bonding. Therefore, these mainstream organizations long ago abandoned classifications of homosexuality as a mental disorder.
http//www.apa.org/topics/lgbt/orientation.aspx
Let's check in with the American Medical Association and see what they have to say
The American Medical Association (AMA) supports the equal rights, privileges and freedom of all individuals and opposes discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, religion, disability, ethnic origin, national origin or age.
https//www.ama-assn.org/delivering-care/policies-lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender-queer-lgbtq-issues
Our AMA (1) continues to support the dignity of the individual, human rights and the sanctity of human life, (2) reaffirms its long-standing policy that there is no basis for the denial to any human being of equal rights, privileges, and responsibilities commensurate with his or her individual capabilities and ethical character because of an individual's sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or transgender status, race, religion, disability, ethnic origin, national origin, or age; (3) opposes any discrimination based on an individual's sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, religion, disability, ethnic origin, national origin or age and any other such reprehensible policies; (4) recognizes that hate crimes pose a significant threat to the public health and social welfare of the citizens of the United States, urges expedient passage of appropriate hate crimes prevention legislation in accordance with our AMA's policy through letters to members of Congress; and registers support for hate crimes prevention legislation, via letter, to the President of the United States.
https//policysearch.ama-assn.org/policyfinder/detail/sexual%20orientation?uri=%2FAMADoc%2FHOD.xml-0-5094.xml
I don't argue that just because all sexually producing species engage in homosexuality that it is moral for that reason--but I DO argue that if homosexuality was abhorrent to the Almighty that it wouldn't make sense for it to be so prevalent. We are commanded to use reason and to observe creation--not to ignore what is inconvenient to a position.
I do argue that most people that actively oppose homosexuals are mainly either (1) following tradition (2) not being careful in their studies and only drinking of knowledge shallowly/following preconceived notions (3) trying to build themselves up by purporting to find someone that is not as "good" as they are (4) oppressors and/or busybodies (5) following emotion. If the shoe fits, wear it--and the Almighty can do all of the Judging and assign all of the consequences.
The Almighty has never been ashamed to provide candid Guidance. We are not to be busybodies, not to spread gossip, not to engage in slander or ill-talk, not to oppress others, not to follow tradition, and not to follow our own desires. We are supposed to be nice to all other people, fair to all other people, just in our dealings with all other people, and invite others to the deen. If one can't do what they are supposed to do, the next best course of action is probably to remain silent--it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt. )
I'd be amazed if anyone "turned" homosexual for reading any of these threads regarding homosexuality, and equally amazed if any homosexual "turned" heterosexual.
ALLAH knows best.

Also it is to be asked if what the people of Lut did or try to do with males they uesued it with females, would it have been right?
Also prove that shahwa is eclusively lust and not plain desiring or coveting. Shahwa in Qur'an i not used articularly for lust, but for desire, not lustful but plain desire.

Really Huruf? How long have you been reading Quran?
The first primary obvious punishment for overt homosexuality was stones of clay actually.
Now we submit to as it is instructed for us to do in 415-16

Some peole who are not Qura'n alone seem tothink that 4.15 seaks about lesbians but the Qur'an does not say such a thing.
So where do you get it from? Not fromQur'an obviously.Annd where is the punishment?. It says put the women in the houses, not unish them, and kee them up till they find another means of livelihood or till they die.
And then in 4.16, about a couple, either a male and a female or may be two males, but a couple, what is the punishment? No punishment stated.
Where is the punishment? Nowhere. Whatever those two are doing, there is no punishement, reconvening them or anoying them is no punishment.As to the stoning where did you get that from? Not from the Qur'an urely, but now if after defending somuch the Qur'an you find that geting outside them is some imrovement, I will have to believe that what is more important for you is not to uhold the Qur'an but to uhold whatever looks to you more militant in your (not the Qur'an's) line of thought.
And what about anwering many of the questions and remarks I have put forward inmy revious mesages.
The thing with seuality is that on both ends nobody wants to really get down to get at the teachings of the Qur'a. Either they milk from it whatever suits their prejudices, either they just could not care less. They already have what they want, they do not want to find anything out.
I doubt very much of the seriousness of many Qur'an aloners.

Peace huruf,
Listen I am willing to have a constructive discussion with you but you really have to stop ranting.
As to the stoning where did you get that from? Not from the Qur'an urely, but now if after defending somuch the Qur'an you find that geting outside them is some imrovement, I will have to believe that what is more important for you is not to uhold the Qur'an but to uhold whatever looks to you more militant in your (not the Qur'an's) line of thought.
Who are you referring to here? I know you ain't talking to me. I never mentioned stoning nor do I think it is prescribed. Your entire personal attack is developed from false assumptions if it is addressed to me sister.
You have to bring facts. Meaning, bring verses from the Quran which you claimed I am deviating from and support your extremely contradictory premises, each and every single one of them.
The burden of proof falls on you.
That is why Abdul-Hadi is trying so hard he knows the burden of proof falls on the ones making such grandiose absurd claims.One more thing...
I have come to like you as a person but I do not want to hear your sermon every time you disagree with someone.
Get to the core of the matter without bringing sentiments and emotions, remain constructive and we will tread well, other than that I will eventually grow tired of it. We all have our limits come on.
Every time you smell a whiff against what you perceive as your core ideals and principles (feminism, women rights) its the end of the world and everyone is your enemy, and we are sexist, bigots etc... This attitude is not good at all. It has made you say some horrible things recently. So please, try to improve on these aspects. That is all part of the deen right? Well then...Let us give it another try sister.
Let us truly humbly seek God's guidance in this matter without biases. Let us agree that whatever Allah has ordained is best
Let us finally analyze these verses without prejudices as best we can regardless of our positions

Some peole who are not Qura'n alone seem tothink that 4.15 seaks about lesbians but the Qur'an does not say such a thing.
So where do you get it from? Not fromQur'an obviously.415 is speaking about women committing the immorality. If it were not for knowledge and use of context any fool would be convinced that these verses are not speaking about homosexual acts. However, fortunately I am able to apply both. And when I do it is clear that it is. The reason is because the punishment for mere fornication is prescribed in Surah 24 in perfect detail and the punishment prescribed there is a public lashing, provided there are witnesses to the act of course.
If you disagree with the evidence, that this is a completely different form of immorality than fornication then you are basically claiming there are two different punishments prescribed for fornication/shameful deeds. Then the question would arise why two different punishments, which bring in an element of contradiction which Quran is bereft of. Occam's razor. Do not multiply your entities needlessly. Your interpretation is then fallacious.In the least we know of course this is a different kind of violation which warrants a different kind of chastisement.
Do you see how the context I keep stressing about is crucial?
So yeah this straight from the Quran.
Ok so next you say
Annd where is the punishment?. It says put the women in the houses, not unish them, and kee them up till they find another means of livelihood or till they die.
That doesn't sound like a chastisement to you? So confinement is not a punishment? Ah okay...
Seriously? I know you yourself don't believe what you're saying!
I am in no shape or form going to argue with you whether confinement is punishment.
It is, and everybody knows that. It might not be a severe punishment, nor a physical punishment but it is castigation nonetheless.And then in 4.16, about a couple, either a male and a female or may be two males, but a couple, what is the punishment? No punishment stated.
Where is the punishment? Nowhere. Whatever those two are doing, there is no punishment, reconvening them or anoying them is no punishment.Stop it. The verses are in bold green. Now you can no longer half-ass it ok. No. It is not just a mere couple male and female.
It is dual masculine form. DUAL MASCULINE FORM. Repeat after me.
No punishment?
So read the verses again if there is no punishment, then you are claiming that there is no wrong doing.
Are you actually claiming there is no wrong doing? If that's the case I can pack my bags and leave.
Have you become a liar? If so, I will cease regarding you as I have.What is the point of repenting and correcting themselves if there is no wrong doing?

In my personal opinion it isn't execution as some clown earlier tried to insinuate but there is some definite reprimanding necessary.
If you follow a logic calm reasoning train of thought while reading you will notice that verse 415 cites

Yes l-fishata the feminine accusative noun used in the previous verse.Which means that the same al-fahishata that the men would be committing is the same as the aforementioned, the women.
I believe literally ALL your premises and claims have been utterly destroyed by the light of the Quran and from now on hold your emotional rants to yourself and be more humble, objective and let go of these biases that are leading you to evil interpretations which have 0 support from the TRUTH in Quran.
And yes I am militant, that is my nature.
Every nation needs soldiers and hosts. Allah says His are the hosts of the heavens and the hosts of the earth. I would like to believe it is every capable believers duty to be ready to march.
That is what would be required of us if perhaps we were in different times.
However these times are a bit different and although I do not have a strong arm to carry a heavy sword,
I have good internet speed and fast typing fingers.
I am a militant soldier junidin

Calling huruf a fool indirectly, round of applause to this so called believer.
You're the one who misinterpreted the "punishment" in chapter 24. There is no punishment, it's your culture that advocates such thing. You speak of fornication, when it suits you.. but let's not forget if the subject was of marriage, you would insert adultery into the mix. Fornication and adultery will never be under the same arabic word, they are 2 different aspects. Name one verse where it says "O you who believe, do not have sex before marriage". Thought so. You're the delusional individual here.
Huruf is speaking with logic, you're not.

HP_TECH you are speaking out of your own prejudices.
For one, you try to force on me our own thoughts. To you, as to many fanatics on this question, the only thing you care about is that anybody who speaks says outright "it is wrong" or "it is right", and if it hapens that a person does not say those magic words, you put them in their mouth for them. What for do you do that? Is it so imortant for you that anybody speaks those magic words? and can't you just simply take in that have not said what you wanted them to say?
Well guess what, I am not going to say this is wrong or this is right, exactly because that is the escaping route of people like you who are not interested in knowing and getting to something useful but in dividing people between kosher and not kosher.
I am not going to do that, not because of political correctness like many fools attibute when they cannot come up with reason and logic, but because I am not going to please any side, because I shit on their political correctness and on their accusations of political correctness.
I am not here either to pander to anybody's feelings of having the absolute truth.
You, for one, do not have it.
Qur'an is clear when it settles some question or orders something. In 4.15 it is not speaking particularly about lesbians, though it could if the context fitted but it does not. It is speaking only about women, in plural.
Some member in the forum, some years ago, was really a genius, because while all along many great "Muslims", including qur'an aloners kept harping on lesbianism regarding aya 4.15, he saw the obvious it fits prostitutes like a glove, a collective, in plural, of vulnerable women who in most places and most of the time do their trade in the streets. The aya says "put them in the houses" and that is not a punishment, but a rescue. Yes, HP, Yes, there are for you those women who may have had children out of rape, and when they have them and have to care for them and feed them, they find themelves doing the street, who are let them fence for themselves and their children.
Till the widespreading of drugs, most prostitutes were women seduced or raped who found temselves with children and that was the only trade they could do. The Qur'an which is formulated by the God who cares for women and children orders that if they are doing the street (and they must by doing that since it says) to put them in the houses, not in prison, but in the houses, not in the streets but in the houses.
Who is so obtuse in having such a penchant for unishment that would impose for the same "crime" from the perpetual to half a minute as would have to be deduced from the wording of 4.15 if we were to take it as a unishment? Wht kind of legal language oor of clarity is that?
Believe what you want HP but the fact that you see a punishment when none is seen or meant, says worlds about you but not about the Qur'an. Of course you are not the only one, not by far, you are one of legions. If there is any political correcteness it is of those who keep in their "traditional" "muslim" comfort, in that imaginary world where the Qur'an aplies, where there has never been prostitution nor there are clients who hook up with the prostitute in the street, like in 4.16, nor anything like that, just unnamed lesbianism of plural women and homosexuality of two males, in the street, where all people can see themand annoy them as a legal punishment.
That is ridiculing te Qur'an. Setting it out of the real world and turning it into a circus, a disguise wardrobe, where you can find anything you fancy.
The Qur'an does not set a punishment for "homosexuality". The Qur'an does not want people spying and invading the intimacy of anybody. And if there is anything in the street, the Qur'an states the means to do away with it, not with punishment but with social conscience, help for the unfortunates.
And in spite of all your shock about male "hmosexuality", fancy that, you are satisfied to see women condemned to perpetual, while at the same time you seemingly say that men, are only punished with rebuking them in the streets. ?How fair!
Also, all those ayas in sura The women revolve about social harmony and solidarity, about welfare, no about punishments. To come up with that in those passages is forcing into them the meaning to convenience, whereas the deal with carrying on with the Conforming of a society that reflects the real marks of a God trusting society, solidarity and rahma. As court proceedings those two ayas are senseless, no penal punishment is formulated like that neither in the Qur'an nor anywhere else.
Who is being politically correct? Who is making of the Qur'an a senseless toy which if you turn it around appropriately will tell whatever suits you?
The fact is that I disagree with everybody in this question because simply right now I do not see any interest on the part of anybody in going on this question of human sexuality beyond the outward and mondane business of whether it is "normal" or "abnormal", which strictly means nothing, and nobody seems to care to find out everything about the matter without mental barriers. The ones behaving as if they possessed the truth and acting like judges with thunder and lightning and the other digging their feet on something they want to be inmovable and indisputable, as if questioning and digging in the matter was going to get us into some dungeon where life would end.
I have been a loner in this question and I guess will continue to be so all my life. Because peole want their comfort and not knowledge or understanding. They are too comfortable in their mental schemes and if you touch them they are unsettled. If the fanatics of their "truth" are given a shake, even of the slightest order, they quickly resort to calling all holy to their side, as if they had passed a contract with the holy when there is in fact nothing beyond their barrage of self-appointed possession of the truth.
The fact is and it is very clear, too clear for the comfort of so many, that in the Qur'an, we re all encouraged to be friends and helpers, women and men of each others, that we are very clearly and very insistently called to respect privacy and intimacy, not to spread or carry gossis and slandering, but apart from the Lut passages -if they do so, which should be examined calmly and without the threat of lightining and thunder to ascertain their content- God does not say a word about "homosexuality". Myself I do nto believe in "hmosexuality" or "heterotexuality" They are convenient labels for this age with which we are spared the trouble of digging into our souls and reality and go beyond labels and appearances. God does not seem to believe in labels either, because aside from Lut, it does not say a word.
And about Lut, I asked a question of you HP_. You have answered many quetions I did not ask, but that one and others, you have taken good care to sidestep.
"if what the people of Lut did or try to do with males they had done it to females, would it have been right?"
It is fundamental to answer that question if we are going to get anywhere with the help of Prophet Lut, peace be on him.
And another one
Prove that shahwa in the Qur'an is exclusively lust and not plain desiring or coveting.
Shahwa in Qur'an is not used particularly for lust except where it is attributed so -may be as so many times happens with the Qur'an, through biblical influence- precisely in Lut's passages, but outside of that it is not lust but plain intense wishing.
We will not get anywhere if we set our ow conclusions as facts, before examining fully to its last consequences the text itself.
But I guess we can fill up another few million of pages, harping about the same bla, bla, bla, on homosexuality, Lut (may God sare our millions of pages) and other toys and get full of oursevels with our self-righteousness, "purity" and so on.

Fornication and adultery will never be under the same arabic word, they are 2 different aspects.
Since you seem knowledgeable of Arabic, can you tell us what is the Arabic word for "fornication" and the Arabic word for "adultery"?
Thanks.

Some peole who are not Qura'n alone seem tothink that 4.15 seaks about lesbians but the Qur'an does not say such a thing.
So where do you get it from? Not fromQur'an obviously.I like how God showed in that verse that it is not just men, but women also are capable of making the decision to have "orgy". I see how it is kept so general.
Annd where is the punishment?. It says put the women in the houses, not unish them, and kee them up till they find another means of livelihood or till they die.
And then in 4.16, about a couple, either a male and a female or may be two males, but a couple, what is the punishment? No punishment stated.
Where is the punishment? Nowhere. Whatever those two are doing, there is no punishement, reconvening them or anoying them is no punishment.Isn't it strange that "punish" in verse 416 doesn't seem to flow well with 415?
Sorry for this off topic question.
Wow. I think that Islam and other religions have been traditionally opposed to sex outside of marriage between anything other than human men and human women but despite that, like in all things, I think the bottom line in Islam is that the Qur'an warns that people will face Judgment from God and that they can do whatever they want or think is best and then will personally face Judgment, reward, or punishment.
Many atheists are opposed to homosexuality. But umm, well, that one is a "belief" anyways. White supremacists also hate homosexuality. According to them, gay people are simply tool for depopulation.

Peace,
I'll play along with your suspicious remark.
If Fa-Ha-Shin meant fornication, that word would have been used at the start of Chapter 24, Verse 2. Only Zina is mentioned.Anything related to Adultery has to correspond with Chapter 24, Verse 2.
Zina can't apply to Adultery and Fornication, It's one or the other. That's like me saying MMK applies to both (oaths & slaves). Voila!

The problem is not in zina but in marriage. What is what the Qur'an coniders marriage. Is it papers, is it a legally witnessed pact?
What is the mithaq ghalidh of 4.21? a legal contract or rather a flesh alliance or commitment of selivery?I pointed out in oher messages that in acient Egypt there wasno such a thing as a wedding. Marriage wasnot contract or a legal act but the fact of marriage, that is the "de facto" marriage, common law marriage, I think is called in english. No wedding, no legal act, the fact of acting like married and having the flesh alliance.
That eemed not to give them any problems at all and in fact did away with many other problems other societies have had.
There existed divorce however, and there existed the offence of adultery. I guess that did away with the crime of fornication, because if one of the parties was unware of the other being married, there would be no fault on her or his part, but on the other party's it would be adultery. And if the party was aware that the other was married, that would also be adultery.
I tend to agree with zina being just one thing, provided we agree on the Qura'nic meaning of marriage as I understand it, more like the acient egyptians' de facto marriage,flesh marriage, than as a legal paper or legal act with witnesses. Obviously, of th real de facto marriage it wouldn't be advisable to have witnesses.

Thanks for the reply but I didn't see two separate Arabic words in your post, so cant verify/check what you claimed.
