If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. (Lev. 20:13) One is astonished about the criticism directed at Islam for its law that those found guilty of the same crime are to be executed. If someone says, "Christianity doesn't regard the Old Testament", that still leaves Jews. You will never hear about Judaism criticized by homosexualists in the same way they attack Islam. They will say "Judaism has been reformed; or Jews don't practice these laws anymore". That is of course not true, the orthodox Jews in Israel are growing rapidly, and demanding the implementation of Halachic Law, where homosexuals will be put to death "and their blood is upon them". It is strange that Judaism gets a pass but Islam is criticized. Furthermore, it is untrue that historically Christians didn't execute people for being homosexual. As recently as 1835, two homos (James Pratt and John Smith) were executed in England for that crime. Obviously such laws criminalizing homosexualism are derived from religion. Take a look at the statement of Sephardic chief Rabbi of Jerusalem, Schlomo Amar: "Shlomo Amar, who previously served as the country’s Sephardi chief rabbi, told Israel Hayom newspaper that homosexuality is an “abomination,” and that Jewish law advocates the death penalty for those who choose to engage in same sex relationships. “I call it a cult. It’s a cult of abominations, it is obvious. It’s an abomination,” he said. “The Torah says it is punishable by death. It is in the first rank of severe offenses" http://www.timesofisrael.com/jerusalem-chief-rabbi-calls-homosexuality-an-abomination/ 2 years ago, a group of orthodox Jews began stabbing people at a gay pride event in Jerusalem. http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.668796 If someone says that in Islamic countries, the State itself executes people for being gay; I ask them to name me an example from Saudi Arabia (where homosexualism is a capital offense) where someone was executed for being homosexual. At most you will find that certain people have been lashed or imprisoned for promoting homosexualism. That is a far cry from the anti-Islamic propaganda that Islamic states are "throwing homos off of building" as though it is a daily occurrence and something ordinary. People who make such accusations have never bothered to actually study the facts. The theme of "homosexual persecution" is nothing but propaganda. Otherwise can any homosexualist give a list of names of homos who have been executed in the past decade in Muslim countries simply for being homo? On the other hand, Muslims are being executed in non-Muslim countries simply for being "Muslim", and to provide a list of their names would not be practical, since the list would run into the tens of thousands (most recent case would be the genocide of Muslims in Burma, sanctioned by the State) It should be obvious to any reasonable person that there is no epidemic of persecution of homos in the world, including the Muslim world.
Homosexuality is illegal in the Arab world, but fairly well tolerated. I visited Morocco many times and saw instances where the tourists picked up local men and took them back to their rooms. I suppose any culture where the women are locked away would encourage it. Men want to get laid, and if women aren't available then needs must..... You get the issues like that in prison where straight men have sex.
Your last point may be true; but in the Arab world people are having a lot of heterosexual sex as evidenced by the high fertility rates. Segregating men and women in public doesn't mean Arabs don't get married and have loads of children. You are confusing two issues due to ignorance. Also, Morocco is one of the more liberal and open countries of the otherwise conservative Arab world. Moroccans are in fact Berbers not pure Arabs; unlike Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, which are very conservative and completely different from Morocco or Tunisia.
You don't have to be rude. I was just passing on what I knew from visiting the place. Did you have a different experience when you went there?
When I start seeing jews butcher people for breaking such laws, I'll come down on them just as hard Laws derived from religon equates to theocracy. It always punishes those who do not claim faith of the state religon. Constitutional republics are superior because we aren't bogged down with paying homage to ghost stories and voodoo. He is as despicable as islamic nutters that day the same thing. But again I'll retain my judgement for when I see jews executing and imprisoning homosexuals. Until then it's just words Was the event state approved? Did all the jews rejoice at their god's work being done? Pointing out that Jewish people can be murderes and nutty doesn't absolve Islam for its misdeeds Only pathetic and weak ideologies need to punish it's detractors. If Islam was truth nobody should worry with what detractors say. Instead of killing homosexuals they just kill imprison or beat the living (*)(*)(*)(*) out of anybody who says the is no shame in it? Oh excuse me, that's a huge difference. Sodo these theocratic iron aged troglodytes not harm homosexuals? You just said anybody who advocates for homosexuals being equal gets the (*)(*)(*)(*) beaten out of them imprisoned or killed. That's persecution Show me the LGBT centers in any islamic country. - - - Updated - - - Sure you're allowed to (*)(*)(*)(*), what about living together, having a relationship? Homosexuality isn't just pounding ass.
It also doesn't mean that muslim men go out and bang each other. Many soldiers I've met have talked about how many islamic men proposition them for sex.
Propaganda for what and for whom? I'm an observer, who happens to have experience of life amongst The Muslims as well as life amongst The Gays. While I've never had a moments trouble from Muslims personally, I'm very well aware of their attitudes and feelings on Feminism and Homosexuality. It's hilarious, therefore, to see Progressives parade their deep ignorance. And make no mistake, they can only feel the way they do BECAUSE they're so profoundly ignorant.
I am sure you can provide proof that only progressives accept Muslims for who they are..and then a spell check for the OP..
Are you kidding? They threw a total fit over a 90 day halt in travel from seven nations calling it a "muslim ban."
You should have put the actual definition: homosexualist (plural homosexualists) (rare, often pejorative) Alternative form of homosexual So it's a pejorative form of homosexual. Basically, it is an insult. At least we know what type of person you are.
It was a travel ban on people from seven nations. The constitution doesn't apply to foreign nationals
