Does the Quran endorse the hanging of Homosexuals?

Question

Why is it that where Islam is fully practiced (Saudi, Iran) there's too much ignorance and unjustcice, but where it's less practiced, the country prospers (Turkey).

Answer 1

Islam in and of itself is not the problem I suppose,after all the "Holy Bible" has as many if not more passages that are open endorsements of violence,hatred and intolerance. But strict adherance is a problem,just as it was when huge portions of the world were controlled by very strict Christian followers,at one time many Christian parts of the world were just as backward in relation to their treatment of other people. In fact many of the things that Christians complain about in the Quran,such as violence against non believers etc,are also endorsed by the teachings of their Bible,so what's the problem? The only difference is that Muslims are actually acting upon these tenets,what will people say when another Christian theocracy arises someday,will they be as vehement in their opposition to their many human rights abuses? Because if the strictly adhere to "the word" I assure you there will be many abuses.

Answer 2

Islam actually just encourages men and women to get married. It does not condone the practice of homosexuality but in no way advocates hanging anybody.

You must understand when religion is also a political force, change occurs at a very very slow pace. This is true of any religions, not just Islam. Just look at any country that is predominantly Christian or Catholic.

I live in Singapore and I am of Middle-eastern descent but I think the Western world has a very convoluted view of Islam and Islamic nations as a whole. The ignorance does not just lie on the Saudi and Iranian side of the coin.

How much about these countries do you know actually? If you went to Saudi Arabia, you'd realise the youths speak English with crisp American or British accents. They've had the luxury of many long-years of overseas education and are more liberal than you think.

Answer 3

I am not pro muslim in anyway, but to be fair Saudi is a kingdom, Iran is economically isolated from the US. Turkey is pulled up by foreign investment from the EU and US. Saudi probably makes more than them all, but I dont know their GDP.

Answer 4

God's phrase condemns homosexuality...interval. You won't discover any scriptures that condone it. Read: Genesis bankruptcy 19 Leviticus 18:22 Romans one million:18-32 one million Corinthians 6:nine-10

Answer 5

islam isnt practiced correct in saudi arabia, do you know how many homosexuals there are in s.arabia
do you woman arent allowed to drive in saudi land ,islam dosnt say that. to me and im a muslim , saudi arabia is one of the least islamic states in the world . its so corrupted.

Answer 6

NO homosexuals flourish in Islam they have impossible
to enforce laws concerning the subject .like four to five witnesses to start with . if it ever gets to the hanging it more likely they've already beheaded the royal family member for illicit heterosexual conduct .Saudi Arabia

Answer 7

The separation of church and state is important. Especially when the dominant religion is dogmatic in nature (almost all of them).

Answer 8

No.

Saudi's GDP is better than Turkey.

Pop benedict and Sexual crimes with minors
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,226038,00.html
VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI told Irish bishops Saturday that instances of sexual abuse committed by clergy were "egregious crimes," and urged them to urgently rebuild confidence and do whatever necessary to prevent future offenses.
In his first comments on the subject since becoming pontiff last year, Benedict said the wounds inflicted by sexual abuse "run deep." The remarks were made to bishops from Ireland where the Catholic Church has been gravely damaged by massive sex abuse scandals.

"In the exercise of your pastoral ministry, you have had to respond in recent years to many heart-rending cases of sexual abuse of minors," the pontiff said. "These are all the more tragic when the abuser is a cleric."
"The wounds caused by such acts run deep, and it is an urgent task to rebuild confidence and trust where these have been damaged," Benedict said.
The pope told the bishops that as they continue to deal with the problem, "it is important to establish the truth of what happened in the past, to take whatever steps are necessary to prevent it from occurring again, to ensure that the principles of justice are fully respected and, above all, to bring healing to the victims and to all those affected by these egregious crimes."


Child abuse-A long and evil tradition of the Vatican and gays

(381 CE) That christian leaders did profane and convert the great Constantinople's Temple of Aphrodite into the largest brothel in ancient history and Temple of Artemis into stables. That this major business enterprise along with other brothels operating from former Greek temples using former female priests and their children as sex slaves provided significant income to the early christian church.

(383 CE) Sex Jerome reinforces sexual repression by preaching that "a husband commits a sin if he enjoys sex with his wife too much".

(590-604) Gregory I introduces celibacy edict to prevent property from passing from church to possible wives, families or mistresses of clergy.

(904 - 911) Pope Sergius III did commit repeated incest upon all his children, male and female and did father several illegitimate children with his daughter Marozie which he then made his mistress. That one of these children fathered by Pope Sergius III and his own daughter became Pope John X, also known as Pope John XI and also known as Pope John XII.

(1316-1334) That Pope John XXII did commit repeated incest upon all his children, male and female and did father several illegitimate children by them.

(1334 CE) That Pope John XXII was charged by 37 clergy and witnesses of fornication, adultery, incest, sodomy, simony, theft and murder. Furthermore, that he was publicly called the devil incarnate. He has been called the most depraved criminal who ever sat on the papal throne.

(1334 - 1342 CE) That Pope Benedict XII did institute regular sodomy of children, especially young boys.

(1410 – 1415) That Pope John XXIII did follow the tradition of Popes for over four hundred years and did commit repeated incest upon all his children, male and female and did father several illegitimate children by them.

(1458-64) That Pope Pius II did continue the centuries old Papal tradition of not only fathering illegitimate children but of committing repeated rape and incest upon all his own children, male and female and did father several illegitimate children by them.

(1471-84) That Sixtus IV did continue the centuries old Papal tradition of not only fathering illegitimate children but of committing repeated rape and incest upon all his own children, male and female and did father several illegitimate children by them.

(1492 – 1503 CE) That Pope Alexander VI did in the ancient Papal satanic tradition commit repeated rape, incest and occasional ritualistic murder upon his children, male and female and did father several illegitimate children by them.

(1550-5) That Pope Julius II did continue the now Catholic clerical tradition of institutionalized homosexuality and sodomy of children, especially young boys.

The "anti-Gay" words of the Vatican aren't worth the paper they're written on

The anti-gay rhetoric of the Catholic Church is meaningless for three very important reasons:

1. It continues to fight against just compensation for victims of pedophile priests in the courts around the world. A sign, they refuse to admit the problem, or care about making things right.

2. The Catholic Church in many countries continues to harbour pedophile priests, in some cases refusing to hand them to police, in others refusing to defrock them.

3. The Catholic Church continues to spend more time and money "spinning" the story that the idea of pedophile priests is a myth than on actually compensating real victims.
