Has he told you he has no problems?No it doesn't, each country has its own laws, one gay is living so close to where i live, no problem whatsoever.
Or have you just noticed that nobody has killed him?
It is not the same thing.

The overwhelming majority of Islamic states criminalize homosexuality, whether applying sharia or secular criminal codes. That is not up for debate; the question is whether Islam sanctions the execution of gays.
So it is your position that if the Quran prohibits something but doesn't specify punishment, no punishment can be applied?
As much as I know, Islam prohibits leewatah(anal sex) so it is both sinful and not allowed for men to have sex with other men and women on the rectal area.
Countries, under Sharia law, definitely encourage and apply violence on gays. You can find more info if you go on and search like "gay murders in Iran" etc.
By the way, I live in Turkey and this country has also nearly no tolerence for gays. Once minister of family claimed that homosexuality is a disease and should be cured. And mayor of Ankara metropolitan municipality, " Our country is completely free from this immorality"
thanks for tag me columbusThis thread would be more interesting if there were Muslims participating.

If you cannot accept one hadith then surely all are called into question....dont sit on the fence to keep the hadith as a prop to pull out when suitable and discard whe n it runs contrary to your viewsOf course it is invalid since the quran never affirmed it.
Is it even reasonable to aim for scriptural support of social enlightment and moral advance?
In my opinion finding some way of supporting what are now reasonable or even necessary attitudes with any scripture from centuries ago is attempting to fit a round peg in a square hole. It may sometimes be possible, but should not be expected.
If we attempt to insist on it, very soon the effort would lead to a situation of actively attempting to reestablish moral understandings that should be badly outdated. People learn better. Scripture is essentially incapable of doing so. And the moral space and moral demands of the current levels of population, technology, communication, transports and social and psychological sciences are very significantly different from those of Middle East one and a half millenia ago - and they should be.
It's very reasonable. The scriptures have nothing to do with ANY religion. They are all about the brain and mind and have an internalized meaning.
The brain and the mind are capable of change.

well said...and i seriously could not have put it better myself...but the what I was trying to convey is that even if one chain of narration is called into question then the others can also have similiar flaws in the chain but just not found out as such and therefore all hadith should either be rejected or accepted in the entirety as selective usage would not be ascceptable defense as such....but then again its only my humble simplkistic thoughts on the subject...As an interpretive rule, disregarding a hadith that provides for punishment that is not outlined in the Quran is not necessarily the equivalent of discarding all hadiths. I guess that the problem would be how to judge the chain of narration if this saying is considered unacceptable, but the same chain has an acceptable saying. If you reject one saying that comes from the same chain as a saying that you accept, then you would have to explain how that saying is untrustworthy but the other saying is not.
