As muslims, it is our belief that Judaism, Christianity and Islam--- as religions-- are all genuine. The only difference is that after the announcement of Islam, all past religions, which were genuine and from the same one God Almighty, were rendered obsolete. Again, this is our belief, as Muslims.
The concept of homosexuality as a grave offence, in Islamic perspective, dates back to the time of the prophet Lut. That was the time when this sin took epidemic proportion and God sent to angels to warn them. The homosexuals at the time rather than listening to the prophet demanded the prophet to hand over the two new boys (the angels). Then God literally uprooted their city. It is said that the city was plucked off from the earth, taken up to the heaven, and thrust back unto the earth upside down.
The standpoint of Islam is crystal clear on homosexuality. It is a sin, just like murder is a sin. There are people in Islam who kill other innocent people, even while they are praying in the mosque with bomb blasts, and then call it Islamic. The people apparently are the 'extremist Islamists'; however, any muslim with the basic knowledge of Islam knows they are not following Islam. Exactly, those homosexuals who may call themselves muslim (you can go on and call yourself prophet also), they are NOT following Islam. This is such a basic tenet which can not be questioned.
There are some people in this forum who are always on the lookout for weaknesses in Muslims and muslim world. They do not generally comment on anything, but when it comes to insulting muslims, Islam, the governments of Muslims they are so swift to take action. This numskull of a Bachus exemplifies what I am trying to say.
I really wonder if no authorities are reading his lines. At least the moderators should have the least moral obligation to delete his comments in which he describes homosexuality in Islam in positive light.
I hope he is nabbed sooner than later. It is my most sincere request to all of you to ignore his viewpoint. He is just trying to promote a false propaganda created by pseudomuslims. In this regard, he is no less than those extremists who kill in the name of Islam and justify the murder of innocent people as Islamic.
Homosexuality is a sin--- in all religions. But since most religions--- including Islam--- are not being followed as they should be, people tend to digress from the delineated path.
