(135,425 posts)I explained to EVERYONE in this conversation what many traditional Muslims believe about homosexuality. This isn't opinion, either--it's how very religious people think and believe.
You chose to put a chip on your shoulder and aim your ire at me--why, I am completely unclear. This is a tragic situation we are talking about. You getting all up in my face and refusing to engage on the issue of religious beliefs and traditions and stressors is just not purposeful or reasonable. You don't have to listen to me--listen to the Wahabbi kid Maddow had on her show last night. He hits the nail right on the head. You can ignore this all you want, you can make it all about me, you can pretend this, and other "nail that sticks up gets hammered down" issues that bump up against Islamic teachings will somehow magically disappear or cease to be an issue, but if you think that is going to make the stress on young Muslims who don't fit the preferred Islamic model go away, good luck with that. The way to deal with these things, not just in the Islamic community but in the larger community, is to TALK about it.
Obviously, I waste my time talking with you.
