    Does Shari'a really call for executing homosexuals?

    I believe the idea of religious police monitoring gay behavior perhaps in essence would be to maintain social order in Islamic society. Take the U.S. political (or western) ideology out of the equation, what if the law was meant as a platform of continuing the cultural climate of let's say...

    Does Shari'a really call for executing homosexuals?

    First off I'm not here to validate truth whether I am an undergraduate, post-graduate or not. Basically what this boils down to is, I disagree with the explanation of how a society which espouses a love and respect for God and humanity that could mistreats individuals who cannot choose their...

    Does Shari'a really call for executing homosexuals?

    I agree. I don't believe you cannot say "no we don't have control over their actions, but when they mess up we kick them for it." I believe there is a level of control over actions which in "essence" violates freedom of the wilkl that supposedly all humans have.

    Does Shari'a really call for executing homosexuals?

    That is a decent explanation, and what you were referring to was the "expectations of the society within the university." However, there is a difference between university police and "moral police." My question (with respect to this thread) is, if in fact it is expected of every person to be...

    Does Shari'a really call for executing homosexuals?

    First off Sahar, The DSM-V I quoted is what is classified as a disorder and whatever is said as a disorder and the definitions follows is what is in the DSM. Our judgements are our judgements. I make no change in what I said. Although the DSM-V (although I knew it said "preference") does not...

    Does Shari'a really call for executing homosexuals?

    I'm not asking you to repeat anything however, although this is a disagreement I do believe you don't have enough knowledge on the psychological basis of the development of sexual orientation.

    Does Shari'a really call for executing homosexuals?

    Actually that was a sincere question and most certainly its no disrespect to your intelligence..... I don't claim to be a scholar in Islam and if there is something I missed I'll re-read.

    Let There Be Light and There Was Light

    Hmmm Did Rambam have this same view? For some reason I believe I read your response in "The guide for the perplexed."

    Does Shari'a really call for executing homosexuals?

    But if Allah says "There is no compulsion" how can the moral police check moral behavior when all rational beings within that society ought to know Allah's commandments?

    Let There Be Light and There Was Light

    Ben Masada (Shalom) Question: If YHVH is incorporeal then where does this "light" emanate from if, by the definition of light which is a material thing? Or is light considered metaphorical for divine providence.... Baruch Hesham

    Do Christians and Muslims Worship the Same God?

    Correct....I think my problem is when the current Torah as is used in today's Synagouges and is deemed corrupted, in certain debates I find Muslims often at times quoting the Bible a lot. That's like me quoting a research I know that has flaws in it. I'm either going to quote the source to...

    Does Shari'a really call for executing homosexuals?

    My Response: Why are you so focused on sex? I'm talking about being gay in public. Can two gay men walk side by side in public holding hands in a Muslim country which encorporates Shari'ah Law? No. Homosexual sex or not homosexuality is forbidden period and regardless of the Madhab you follow...

    Does Shari'a really call for executing homosexuals?

    Well in my opinion as a scientist using scientific methods, Allah or God is backwards. God has given all humans the unique ability to act and has implanted the mechanism of homosexuality and heterosexuality in all human beings yet God forbids homosexuality..... That is if you believe God created...

    Do Christians and Muslims Worship the Same God?

    That makes no sense because in the Qur'an it says "There is no compulsion." Jews has had an older version of commandments (approx. 3,000 years). Again historically Muhammad has had the only contact with Jews in ancient Yathrib. I cannot speak for Christians but that is my understanding from what...

    Does Shari'a really call for executing homosexuals?

    Not that simplistic...It does depend on who is in charge but it also depends on what "Madhab" (or school of thought) the jurist follow.

    Does Shari'a really call for executing homosexuals?

    My response: The Islamic stance is NOT clear. In fact Islamic jurist have not been unison about how to deal with punishment. In fact in the Islamic stance, Muslims don't even know how one becomes hmosexual much less can define the moral pinings on the issue. The "people of Lut" is soooo...

    Does Shari'a really call for executing homosexuals?

    I'm not lumping all Muslims in one category but however there are (as social psychological research has indicated) differences in opinions especially on a broad range of topics such as sex, religion, race etc between Muslims who are born (or have live in Western countries extensively) than those...
