Is it wrong to advocate homosexuality as a sin?

Response: It's a sin if you are a homosexual and you are having sex. Sex between two people of the same sex is lust. Surely, two people of the same sex can love each other. I love my father and brothers dearly. However, sex between two people of the same gender is an act of lust, not love.

While it is your right to believe such, I believe you are wrong... very, very wrong.

There's the statement. Where's the proof?

Then heterosexuality is a sin, since it is based on lust as well. Just ask any co-ed on spring break.

I have heard it said that sex that involves enjoyment is a sin and that sex is for the creation of children only, to be perfomed for the sake of duty. :rolleyes: Pure nonsense of course but there are those fundamentalist who believe it. I suppose this is the root of both male and female circumcisions, an attempt to remove as much enjoyment from the sex act as possible.

Fatihah is confusing homosexuality with lust. That doesn't surprise me, as I have learned from another thread that Fatihah has trouble distinguishing between concepts. For example, he equates evolution with atheism.

Fatihah, what does the noble Qu'ran say about lesbianism?

Response: The qur'an does not speak directly about lesbianism. However, in ch.30: 21,22 it says:

"And of His Signs is that He has created wives for you from among yourselves that you may find peace in them, and He has put love and tenderness between you. In that, surely, are signs for a people who reflect".

The "you" referred to in the verse are men. Allah reveals the verse to Muhammad and speaks directly to the men because men are to be the protectors of women. Therefore, the verse is speaking of the loving marriage between man and woman and condemns the act of lust between the same sex, as demonstrated in ch.7:81, ch.29:28,29 and ch. 26:165 when he punishes the people of Lut who were homosexuals.

Sorry, but I don't see where that verse says anything about homosexuality at all. Not that it matters.

Simply untrue, and I notice you offer nothing in support. Could that possibly be because there IS no support? Ya think?

Bigoted assumptions =/= logical argument.

Response: And you haven't refuted a word I've said with any logical rebuttle either.

Of course not, you haven't offered me anything to rebut. You've made your assertions, I've made mine. The difference is, yours are groundless, based on nothing but bigoted assumptions.

Since I know you can't understand the simplest concepts, I'd prefer that you just provide the verses and let me figure out what they mean.

So the Qu'ran says nothing whatsoever about female/female love, and everything you've posted so far is just your own narrow bigotry? Thanks, that's what I figured.
