The Islamic Answer regarding Homosexuality

[Protein Shaykh]

Re: Homosexuality

That's just a snippet of the argument. Besides, it is not only about being acceptable. It is about being punished (i.e. thrown off a cliff) for acts that are in turn caused by sexual desires you cannot control!

In Islam there is punishment on anyone be they straight or bent, if they perform sexual acts in public. If you cant control your sexual desires in public, then you need to be punished.

what happens behind closed doors is between them and the Lord.

Well the difference is that the two things you mentioned can be seen to harm people. Gay people are consenting adults.

Simple really.

Someone else earlier has commented that gays hurt each other, but could not supply any evidence of that when I asked.

It could be argued that it hurts you by causing you offence, but that argument doesn't really have much merit in my view.

Incest is illegal, and unfortunately its not always used to harm people. I've seen tabloid news articles of Mothers having babies with their sons, and fathers having babies with their daughters. Does this fit your criteria of "not harming people"?

Re: Homosexuality

I fail to see how I have continually argued "against" Islam. But okay.
I defend it because they deserve the basic rights to do what they please as long as it doesn't harm anyone else.

immorality destroys a society, even the kuffar have morality laws we dont look at life, death, God, or our social responsibilities the same as you

homoexuality, fornication, adultery, pornography, hijab, even men wearing shorts

these things affect a society

Incest harms a society by increasing birth defects. This includes cousins by the way.

Re: Homosexuality

What did you mean when you said Muslims must believe homosexuality is a free choice before you requested scientific evidence?

Scholars have said that Allah does not punish someone for something they can't control. In fact, this notion is represented in one of the answers in the OP. Thus, the only logical conclusion for Muslims to follow is that homosexuality is indeed a choice.

Re: Homosexuality

how any man can defend another man having sex with another man is beyond my level of understanding

We need to realise the state of their hearts.

Being thrown off a cliff is just an example. The punishment is still there (public or private) regardless of whether or not it is in this world or the next life.
