Why should Islam not recognize female/female marriage?
It directly counteract the social responsibilities that come with marriage.
Yes, this is pretty much how we can be sure that God did not use this method to communicate with all of humanity.
What.
Argue by pronouncement much?
Yeah I have hundreds of years of scholarly opinion with more effort placed in tafsir, fiqh, and qiyas by each individual than can be understood or appreciated by most members of this forum. I hold their opinion in high regard, yours not so.
Yes, that's what you're trying to demonstrate. For example, you could provide a verse that prohibits two women from marrying, if there is one.
I did.
so if the quran doesn't mention automobiles, Muslims are prohibited from riding in them?
You're saying that silence = prohibition? Anything that's not mentioned is prohibited? That's your argument? Does the quran mention computers? If not, you're in trouble
Use simple reasoning.
1. The Qur'an clearly condemns sodomy and recognizes it as part of Zina.
2. The Qur'an clearly condemns "indecency", "lewdness", "fornification" from among your women.
3. The Qur'an clearly details the social and economic factors of marriage. Every single reference is between men and women.
The Qur'an clearly stipulates marriage and the priorities of each partner. It clearly explains that man and women are different but equal in marriage and form one harmonious contract.
It is silent on women marrying women. Given that such a huge part of social life is clearly detailed using one aspect and the basis of Islamic society is based on this one aspect it is safe to assume that any diverging opinions on marriage are not mentioned in the Qur'an and thus are not the path of a Muslim. Given that the Qur'an condemns sodomy quite directly and offers marriage between man and women as a solution, this diverging approach is thrown into serious doubt as not only not the path a Muslim follows but one that is discouraged at the least.
Given the Hadith that later clarifies that it is not only discouraged but forbidden the conclusion is set in stone.
Bang your head against the wall, you are going against the consensus of centuries of scholarly authority and simple logic.
If you're going to argue that in a cautionary tale about threatened same-sex gang rape, the offensive thing is the "same-sex" part and not the "gang rape" part, then I would say that your moral sense is rather untrustworthy.
I am not sure where you are getting "gang rape" from as the verses are concerned with the public practice of sodomy in Lut's town and their attempts to fufil their desires on Angels.
Regardless I think you missed the context and point of the post. The person I responded to stated that Arabia has a part past that seemed conducive to sodomy. This is not either new or surprising as God places challenges in everyone's path. I offered the classic story of Lut who was an Arab and how his town was afflicted with sodomy. That is no one claims Arabia to be free of homosexual tendencies, in fact deviance is what prompts revelation in the first place.
