islam and homosexuality?

Question

Hi. First off, let me clear this up.. i didn't in my previous question and i think it made people think i was a religious right wing person.

I AM A GAY PERSON!! and i am a christian.

but my question goes out to muslims.. what is the punishment for being gay and muslim? what about being gay and non muslim?

thanks.

Answer 1

I would bet being gay is looked down upon in strick Muslim societies, but I've heard that since everyone is always on the lookout for men and women even walking together when they shouldn't be, that those guys who can't control their sexual urges find it easier to turn to men. I've heard that gay rape is common in Saudi Arabia.

Answer 2

Not an expert , but I understand in the Muslim religion whatever is confined to the privacy of a persons bedroom is not an issue-even adultery or sex before marriage has strict 4 person eyewitness proof required, so it seems unlikely a discreet gay person would ever be punished. People on the other hand, often do not know what their religion teaches and will often be cruel no matter what religion they profess.

Answer 3

I am gay and Muslim (non-practicing). In my opinion Allah is the most merciful and the ultimate love. Then if a gay man loves another man then it is still love. When God is all love and God cannot be wrong then two people who love each other cannot be wrong either. May everybody find love in God and in another human being.....

Answer 4

There is no such thing in the Bible as a gay christian... god has deemed it filthy and sinful... i can't remember the damn website i was on that is a neutral website about religions and it just shares the facts but maybe some1 else will post it but i know its tru so get with a women and make some babies!!!

Answer 5

homosexuality in Islam is a great sin. but if you stop and repent Allah will forgive you!!
may Allah guide you to the straight path!!!

the punishment in Sharia Law i would think its like adultery which is stonning to death. ONLY if there was 4 adult witnesses or a confession. this is not often practiced by many islamic countries. but i know for a fact that in some islamic countries it's Illegal by law and you go to jail if you get caught!!

Answer 6

they save you from your sin by killing you so you can't keep sinning.

And of course you are a gay person in need of forgiveness for your sin, if you do admit and accept that homosexuality is a sin, you can be forgiven.

but a gay person who is living in a active sexual homosexual life style has not fully accepted Christ, since it would not be an acceptable life style for a real christian

Answer 7

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

Dear questioner, we would like to thank you for the great confidence you place in us, and we implore Allah Almighty to help us serve His cause and render our work for His Sake.

We must be aware that in regulating the sexual drive Islam has prohibited not only illicit sexual relations and all what leads to them, but also the sexual deviation known as homosexuality. This perverted act is a reversal of the natural order, a corruption of man's sexuality, and a crime against the rights of females. (The same applies equally to the case of lesbianism)

Responding to the question, the eminent Muslim scholar Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, states the following:

The spread of this depraved practice in a society disrupts its natural life pattern and makes those who practice it slaves to their lusts, depriving them of decent taste, decent morals, and a decent manner of living. The story of the people of Prophet Lut (Lot) (peace be upon him), as narrated in the Qur'an should be sufficient for us. Prophet Lut's people were addicted to this shameless depravity, abandoning natural, pure, lawful relations with women in the pursuit of this unnatural, foul and illicit practice. That is why their Prophet Lut (peace be upon him) told them, (What! Of all creatures, do you approach males and leave the spouses whom your Lord has created for you? Indeed, you are people transgressing (all limits)!) (Ash-Shu`araa' 26: 165-166)

The strangest expression of these peoples' perversity of nature, lack of guidance, depravity of morals, and aberration of taste was their attitude toward the guests of Prophet Lut (peace be upon him); these guests were angels of punishment in human form sent by Allah to try these people and to expose their perversity. The Qur'an narrates the story thus: (And when Our messengers came to Lut, he was grieved on their account and did not know how to protect them. He said, 'This is a day of distress.' And his people, who had long since been practicing abominations, came rushing toward him. He said, 'O my people, here are my daughters. They are purer for you, so fear Allah and do not disgrace me in front of my guests. Is there not a single upright man among you?' They said, 'Thou knowest well that we have no right to thy daughters, and certainly thou knowest what we want.' He said, 'If only I had strength to resist you or had some powerful support!' Said (the angels) 'O Lut, truly, we are messengers of thy Lord; they shall not reach thee....)(Hud 11: 77-81)

Having said this, I should stress here that Muslim jurists have held differing opinions concerning the punishment for this abominable practice. Should it be the same as the punishment for fornication, or should both the active and passive participants be put to death? While such punishments may seem cruel, they have been suggested to maintain the purity of the Islamic society and to keep it clean of perverted elements.

Answer 8

From what I have heard....in the middle east the saying by the men is, "Woman are for making babies and boys are for pleasure."

They are a bunch of homos.

Answer 9

Never heard of that before! Ortodox here!

Answer 10

being gay and being Christian is an oxy-moron.
Can't be Christian and be gay and can't be gay and be Christian.

Go read the bible about Sodom and Gomorrah and then try being proud about your perversion and calling yourself a Christian again.
