Why do Muslims hate homosexuals so much they want to kill them?

Question

I'm not gay, and do not find anything appealing about the practice of sodomy. But if others do, and practice it in the privacy of their homes, how does it concern me, or infringe upon my rights?
Yet Muslims hate homosexuals so much that more than 4,000 alleged homosexuals have been killed by the sharia courts of Iran. Not all were convicted of homosexuality, admittedly, since a well-publicised case in 2005:

the sharia police have used the tactic of torturing the alleged gays into confessing to rape or other crimes. Why be so dishonest? If they believe killing gays is good, why the subterfuge?

That's a fair comment Poki, but you are a knowlegable man who would know Iran is not the only country this goes on. You would also be aware of the hadiths that specify death by stoning for the offence, I don't need to quote them to you

Answer 1

Why do some people think being gay is a sin?
Hi my friends.I'm a Moslem from Iran. I would say gay people are not born that way.Their environment has caused them to be attracted to the same sex as theirs.So first of all people need to know that being gay is not a sin, nor it is evil.And also it's not a mental illness.It's the way you feel.It's The way you fulfil your sexual needs.There's absolutely nothing you could do to change your feelingsA feeling is not a sin.My best friend is a gay because he hadn't visited many men when he was a child.And he's a very good and kind person,very clever and honest.So being gay is not a sin by itself.The way you choose to fulfil your sexual needs determins wether you commit sins or not.Gay people must agree that in God's law gay-marriage and sexual affairs between men is a mortal sin.But this rule goes for heterosexual people too when they tend to commit evil deeds such as pre-marriage sex.It's against God's law and a mortal sin.But unfortunately some people think because their government allows them to do so it's OK while it's not in God's law.I think no one has the right to hate gay people because they haven't chosen to be that way.Gay people are just like hetrosexual people as long as they don't commit sins.In my mind some heterosexul people must be blamed for the way they choose to fulfil their needs such as pre-marriage sex.So you'll go to heaven if you live honestly and not to let your sexual feelings to control you and make you commit sins.Please don't tell me it's a sin because Bible says so.Quran says only affairs between men are sinful not the way you feel or think.God will judge you according to your actions not your feelings or your thoughts.If you think gay people can change please for just one minute try to be homosexual if you're not.It's impossible.Plua sodomy is the way to get yourself killed by H.I.V.Whoever does such a big sin, I'll pray for him.It's one of the MOST unforgivable sins in Islam.A gay is not a sinner.If he practices anything he is a great sinner.Thanks.

Answer 2

Care to call the Liberals that love the Muslims who honestly kill homosexuals below Sharia regulation? It should not be that difficult to do considering there are handiest 2 or 3 Libs within the entire nation who consider that approach

Answer 3

Homosexuality is refused in Islam for several reasons; most importantly:

1- its against the laws of nature (sex should only include two partners, a man and a women who are married)

2- its the reason for the spread of STD's (sexually transmitted diseases; check the records)

3- it has no effects on the reproductive process (homosexuals cannot get pregnant and have kids)

Those were just the three main reasons for the refusal of homosexuality in Islam

I also believe that all religions are against homosexuality, why only ask about Islam?

Answer 4

Please view the link below to find a lengthy answer to your question. What I only would like to stress is how important it is to have evidence and witness (four witnesses - which is almost impossible) to the act before any kind of punishment is decided. Even when one is made, it is to be carried out by the authorities, not by common fellow muslims.

So, personally as a muslim, since I have not seen the act myself - which is almost impossible - I respect the person as a human being.

Peace
