mj.scuba Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Yusuf al-Qaradawi who made it clear on Channel 4 news what his views were: In fact, al-Qaradawi said on Channel 4 News that homosexuality was an "unnatural and evil practice". He told the Guardian that homosexuality was "forbidden". While insisting that individual Muslims "have no right to punish homosexuals or mistreat them", he stressed that punishment was a matter for the state. In other words, he was not denying that he supported the death penalty for homosexuality. All he said was that he opposed vigilantes taking the law into their own hands, which is a standard Sharia law stipulation. How strange, lies copied from Wiki are posted as fact, who'd have thought it. The problem is, when you have religious leaders preaching to blind followers, advocating the death penalty for gays, in a land where the neither the state nor the general public wants to see homosexuals persecuted like that, the religious zealots predisposed to that way of thinking could be pushed to act.

alchresearch Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Those trying to pretend child abuse is exclusively carried out by muslims are plainly Islamaphobes. I think they're pointing out the hypocrisy rather than child abuse. However, there is nothing to suggest that those there taking part are Islamic worshippers. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/afghanistan/8257943/Paedophilia-culturally-accepted-in-south-Afghanistan.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hots on Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Before there was a significant Muslim presence in this country, just mainly Christianity, the "left" were hardcore atheist, but now there is a significant Muslim presence they've suddenly changed their tune, now its all about religious freedom Those on the left make me laugh; once it was atheism, womens lib, animal rights, "meat is murder" etc etc, now they defend Islam, with all its religious dogma, womens rights and animal slaughter issues to the hilt.

Conrod Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 The Uk doesn't execute gays. That doesn't mean the UK isn't homophobic. Really? If you suggest that the UK is homophobic, how to you explain the laws we have forbidding homophobia and the positive discrimination that homosexuals, and other minority groups, are given through so-called equal opportunities?

Homophobia is not forbidden, nor is it illegal in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrod Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Homophobia is not forbidden, nor is it illegal in the UK.You're not serious, are you? What about the poor couple with a B&B who were persecuted for not wishing to have two blokes at it under their roof? Or the recent case of anti-homosexual leaflets which could lead to people being jailed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are free to hold their views, nobody's stopping them. they were fined because they broke the law and discriminated against people based on their sexual orientation. Likewise leaflets that could cause a section of society to suffer discrimination is illegal. Broadly, you can be anti-gay but if you discriminate or hand out leaflets you may get arrested and charge. Homophobia is perfectly legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritPat Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Best not to be holier than thou on this one, Buggery was a capital offence in this country until 1861 when the 1861 offences against the person act made the offence punishable by life imprisonment. Homosexuality was effectively legalised in 1967 in England since then the age of consent has been lowered. Our laws were not so very different not so very long ago.

Homophobia is perfectly legal. Ah, ok, so racism is legal as well - if that means we can think it, but not act upon it. And I guess murder is legal too, so long as we just think about it, but don't actually do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
