        Quran does not say anything specifically about gay. there was no mention of any sort of punishments for gay people. So I think there is still a way to interpret it. Being gay or straight should be a person's right. Islam always upheld justice and free of tyranny. Remember, Islam gave the dignity to women when the women were compared to lower than an animal as well as the slaves were given dignity too.. this topic needs more research.

          Sounds like we have an islamist.

            Like the bible, the quran tells the story of Sodom and Gomorrah and the evilness of the men's homosexuality.  The quran calls it an abomination.

            The Zina verse talks about illicit sex, including gay sex.  Both "the doer and the done" are to be punished.

            In the hadiths and anthars, there's plenty of anti-gay stuff.  There's one example though, where you can be a fag, but you can not do fag things, including looking at other men in a faggy way.

            People love to cherry pick the bits they like out of their religion and deny the rest exists.

              I just wanted scholars to reinterpret it. dont be an extremist atheist asshole. I am not Islamist. a lot of gays r Muslim because they believe in God and that gives them internal peace. I want a solution by merging the sexuality and Islam. where is the real problem to merge it? does it harm the god's earth? remember God does not need a religion. He gave the religion to build a civilized and ruled society. because you know without law there is a anarchy. find a solution. Quran has not been finished interpretation. It can be interpreted as long as the human lives.

                You may WANT islam to be accepting of homosexuality, but being dishonest about it won't make it true.

                I'm an "extreme atheist asshole" in your eyes because I know the truth and accept it, as is.

                You are a crappy muslim when you think that "the perfect word of god" can be interpreted by man in any way they want to suit their needs/whims.  Then again, you are a good muslim in that you are willing to lie about your religion to make it seem better to non-believers, as commanded in the quran.

                God doesn't exist.

                  Don't want to argue about the existence of God with you. that's a different topic. The point here is prophet said as long as there is a new issue come to exist, you must solve it with intelligence and knowledge of the holy book. Quran is a words of God but its not meant for take it literally except are those mentioned clearly that Do's and Dont's.

                  You atheist people want to criticize the Quran by taking literal meaning.. That's just shows athiesm makes you evil. I am an open thinker. don't try to name calling me with any religion. Show u r above that.

                    Get nasty all you want, but it's you that is making crap up about your religion.

                    The quran and hadith clearly deal with homosexuality, so it's not a new issue.  If you are a true believer, then you must obey your holy texts.

                    YES, YES, I know your holy texts tells you to lie to the non-believers to make your religion more acceptable to them.

                    LOL, you are so pathetic.  You lie about what your holy texts say about homosexuality and I tell the truth, so you call me evil.

                      Read the last sentence in the picure attached.
                      It sounds awfully like what's happening in Islamic countries (Saudi Arabia, Qatar etc) and ISIS.

                      What you're doing here calvingrey is called Taqiya: making Islam more palatable to non-believers by deceiving them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taqiya

                      You can be gay and muslim but the metal gymnastics required to do that is Olympic level and also the community won't be kind* about your sexual orientation.

                      • threats, harassment, etc…

                        The quran, therefore Allah/god, calls "the people of Lot" (homosexuals) an abomination.

                        The matter is settled.

                        Sex outside of marriage is not allowed in islam.

                        Gays can not get married in islam.

                        Sure, in the hadith, you can be gay, but you are not allowed to act upon it in any way, EVER.  Even looking at another man in a homosexual context, is enough to get you thrown off a tall building.  It's the same as the christian BS of "love the sinner, hate the sin".

                            Islam hasn't been in reformed in centuries, it's not going to happen now, it'd go against the very fundamentals of the religion.

                            The only solution for Islam is called atheism, and let's hope it spreads throughout Islamic nations sooner than later because the more people read the texts and take them seriously, the more extreme they become.

                                It's only possible if you ignore what your god and holy texts say.

                                It's not valid because you have to ignore so much of what your god and holy texts say.

                                  Why start such a stupid conversation? You know it will only create feud, from both sides. Because people from both sides tend to exaggerate, name-calling and so on. Who cares? If it affects you, then just decide for for yourself whether or not you can live that way. You don't need to hear other people's thoughts. Stop creating unnecessary heat.
                                  You see how atheists are not capable of being open minded here. For a religious person who is also gay, it's hard enough, but then they have to deal with ignorant atheists who think the world is black and white and it's easy to choose one or the other.

                                    I guess you never heard of "irony".

                                    Also, how am I ignorant?  I have read countless religious texts from many religions over the years.

                                    Islam claims to be the perfect word of god, so a muslim CAN NOT ignore what the quran says or they are ignoring their god.

                                        I think religion should be empowering and not limiting. Nature does not follow any religion.

                                          Of course someone can be gay and muslim, it depends on how the person involved understand religion and especially that God Loves people as we truly are. In my opinion, I think many muslim has distorted islam and changed the meaning of the quran. I also believe the quran has been modified by men because it has been millennium since it was written. It's better to focus about the fact judgment's God and forgiveness are fair, and muslim who will dictate behavior to other, they just fear what others may think and do not know what islam really is. It's between the believer and God, we are what we allow ourselves to be.

                                          You are a crappy muslim when you think that "the perfect word of god" can be interpreted by man in any way they want to suit their needs/whims.  Then again, you are a good muslim in that you are willing to lie about your religion to make it seem better to non-believers, as commanded in the quran.

                                          God doesn't exist.

                                          They can't unless you ignore what their holy texts say about being gay.

                                          Due to the left's racism of low expectations, muslims are wonderful people despite the way they treat/view gays.

                                          "Islam is a religion of peace" is only true if you ignore all the violence it promotes, such as "kill all the infidels where ever you find them".

                                          @raphjd:

                                          Sounds like we have an islamist.

                                          @raphjd:

                                          LOL, you are so pathetic.  You lie about what your holy texts say about homosexuality and I tell the truth, so you call me evil.

                                          This is unacceptable to read so much hatred and the stigmatisation of muslims from someone who wants to force people to embrace his own beliefs, thinking every muslims are islamist. This is called islamophobia. Islam has so many different level of believers, it goes from progressism to extremism.We should rather be referring to Muslims, as groups of people, in order to avoid the essentialisation of Islam as a set of fixed ideas You are calling someone who argue with your "an islamist", a "pathetic person" while he just tried to argue peacefully. Are you aware of your behavior in this website ? In any other website you would have been banned because whatever what is your belief or ideology, you can't stigmatize people, insulting them while you seem to believe you are an innocent man "who knows the truth better than everyone". I guess you would rather spending your day bashing people on the web instead of having the wisdom to question your narcissism and your hateful mindset which you should do something about unless only lefties are capable of being "evil" according to you.

                                            I do love how lefties need to be liars to combat their enemies.

                                            I never said that all muslims are islamists.

                                            "Islamophobia" is just another word thrown around by the left and muslims to shut down any criticism of islam and/or muslims.  According to liberals, stating that Mohamed married a 6yo and fucker her when she turned 9yo, is "islamophobia".  Saying that slavery still exists in muslims countries, is "islamophobic".  Etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.

                                            Clearly, islam is full of cherry pickers, who accept the bits they like and ignore the bits they don't like.  So, it's just as bad as any other religion, despite the claims made in their holy text.

                                            As usual, I have read the entire holy text, but "good" muslims want to tell me it says something completely different because they don't like all the bits in it.  That is dishonesty in it's purist form.  How is that any different to the "bad" muslims who ignore the bits they don't like?

                                            Oh, I am well aware that I would be banned on most gay sites because I'm not blindly liberal.  I'm not anti-semetic (nor pro), so I will get banned.  I hate hoax hate crimes as much as I hate real hate crimes, so that would get me banned.
