Why is HETEROSEXUAL ACTIVITY so offensive to Muslims?
459950
Does this sura actually tell you that Islam is against hetrosexual activity?? I'm not sure how you got that one\n\nYou might want to think about what your question really is. My question to you is: What is wrong with this verse??? Are you really saying you have a problem with women of a certain faith dressing in a way that dosn't show their cleavage etc?? \nMaybe you can't handle the fact that not all women just want to wear skimpy clothing when with men that arn't family!!! Heres an idea:\nGet over it!!!!!!!

I do get offended, however, I'm sorry to say this, but the way you worded your question could be considered slightly homophobic also... "harrass you for what you are". I mean... personally for me it's a preference... i'm no different than you or anyone else. ... I'll put it another way... We're all the same. Some of us like apple juice, other like orange... we're all the same, but just have different preferences... I hope this makes sense... it's just how I percieved your question.

Because it's so personal that it hits the core of a person's innermost inner sanctum... of religious and spiritual beliefs. \n\nSadly enough though, as exhibited in this R&S forum and other similar platforms, some of us don't have the capacity or tools, albeit biased or slanted knowledge, in order to express themselves or their viewpoints well and, ultimately, they result in stereotyping the other person, mudslinging and malicious slander, assault and battery, and end up even killing each other in the name of religion! \n\nHence the supposedly Holy Crusades of yore had a battle cry that went "Kill in the name of God!" ...No wonder the generations of those who have been hurt by such conflicts many centuries later continue to carry the same hatred to the Infidels [or Christians] today. \n\nYet no one seems to learn from History itself, but more importantly so, to abide by the lessons taught in Religion itself...\n\nPeace be with you.

People, in this case women, who like to try to throw a monkey wrench into the fact that God created men, women and marriage for the purpose of trying to keep stuff like this from happening. The act of homosexuality is even disgusting to God!

Can I just point out that in here the only ones that say homosexuality is a sin are those that are Chrisitan, what if you are not Christian it is not a sin. And anyway where are the Muslims that also say its a sin - nowhere, they know when to accept other peoples choice in lifestyle and belief and dont critise it. I have never heard of a Muslim damming a homosexual that does not follow their religion, they know when to quit!

In case there's any dispute, I'm heterosexual.  However, I very strongly believe in equality for ALL people, regardless of gender, nationality or sexual preference.  I suspect I feel so strongly because I understand descrimination (being a female in a male dominated work place, and because of my religious beliefs) and I hate to listen to narrow-minded, egocentric verbal diarrea that some individuals feel they have a right to inflict upon the world.\n\nI also feel the need to confront and challenge people when they shoot their mouths off in my presence, because so long as people deem it acceptable to spread hatred, they will continue to do so.\n\nIt's okay to disagree, but it's not okay to demoralize a person or a group of people over something they have no control over.\n\nMy advice to anyone who feels as strongly about this as I do, is to never let an oportunity pass to publically embarass somebody (I'm not suggesting a physical altercation) who goes out of their way to hurt people.  Let everyone around see how stupid discriminatory behavior is.  Show these people that this behavior is not acceptable.

No. Its not fair to play with anyones religions. Have the decency and respect peoples faith. Islam by itself respects all religions. (Its just some muslims who are extremists dont respect, but most 90% muslims do respect). \n  I beleive peace and harmony would spread if other religions respects Islam as well as other religion.\n  If you knew Islam, than you would know the rules. Muslims dont commit sins freely. \nIf they do, than they are definately sinning and that is not allowed in Islam.\nPlease dont blame religion for what people do. \nSince you said that, I am free to say that chritianity is a GAY religion and it promotes people being GAY. How do I know that? Look at the actions of most of the Bishops and Fathers of the church. Not only are they GAY, but also Child molesters. I dont think i would want to stay in that religion. However, I know its only the people and not the religion.\nKnow your facts before yo make a statement. \nIslam is not a man made religion. If it was, it would not be the fastest growing religion on earth.\nMay God spread peace in this world. AMen

It's suppose to be tongue-in-cheek humour, but, yes, some people may find it quite offensive. It's a stereotypical view of some of the ethic groups.

I still don't understand why some people feel that violence is warrented or acceptable as a form of protest.  It was a cartoon, sure it was offensive but isn't a violent reaction more so?  Muslims are always complaining about being painted with a broad brush of being violent.  How is this helping to dispurse that stereotype?

At this moment in time, it is Politically Correct not to insult Islam for fear of alienating this section of the community.  What gets me is that this seems to make it open season on every other religion.  This is wrong!  Why, because in open debate you should be able to tear apart the base lines of anything in an argument (as long as its valid or be willing to accept that someone else may be right/you are wrong) without facing the threat of a suicide bomber trying to cosy up to you just so he can get to heaven and enjoy some virgins.

Islam is a hostile, war-like, backward religious system straight out of the dark ages. just look at the way they treat women. absolutely disgusting. they not only condone violence, they instigate it. To use the word peacfull in the same sentence as Islam is laughable. It is anything but.

because muslims don't let go perverts and mass murderers. If you do wrong, you are punished, that keeps the rest from trying bad stuff.\nIn western socity, you  may do a lot, and have bigger chances of getting away with it.

A lot of people are afaid of homosexuals because they are diffent. A lot of people are afraid of anyone who acts out of the "norm" and think that there is something bad about them. Many of the sever homophobes are actualy masking a fear that they may be gay themselfs. And of course religion plays into it a lot (i know you said no religious answers but i feel this needs to be adressed) a large portion of North American people are christion, a religion witch forbays homosexualy in many sects. These traidtions create a cultureal norm and make hatred more accepted.

Hmmm. Since I have Muslim men friends and I know the culture a bit, I know that Muslim men want non-Muslim women only for sex and fun and companionship. Most, if not all, never intend to take the relationship anywhere past that. And any self respecting female, Muslim or non-Muslim, would not fall for you line of hooey. Oooh yeah, did I forget to mention how Muslim disrespect their women? I'm sure that's a big turn on too!

I think you are correct, although Its not PC to say so, since they are a minority almost everywhere in the world, and its not PC to say anything bad about minorities ( unless it happens to be a white Judao/christian minority) \nEDIT: If Islam is not a religion of violence, why is every single conflict today about Muslims trying to make others live by their rules, or about Muslims trying to force Islam on others.
