Welcome to Gaia! ::

A really tricky thread, but I figure I'll respond anyway. As a Roman Catholic, I will say I am against the idea of gay/bi not just from a religious view, but because personally I just see it as wrong and not "fitting right" ..as we aren't usually made with male and female body parts. I am an open minded person in acceptance and do not judge people on their choices. I have to say that all the sexual diseases say otherwise on us being "protected and hygenic" in todays world...in fact, I think from the "seeming gay fad or out of the closet explosion" we have more diseases and such to deal with.

The only thing that annoys me is when people constantly go on and on about how they are gay/bi etc...really, I'd rather just know if you are a person intent on bettering yourself, learning and improving your life, that sort of thing...the more I see stuff like that..say in the aquarium bottles, the more I want to ask about stuff like this.

Edit: Sorry for my lateness in reply, I fell ill.
@Chieftain Twilight:
Islam does not have any sects and nor do I belong to any so-called "sect" that people might have created. I just try to follow what's right as much as possible. As for your question, what do you think are the actions/temptations that lead to a**l sex? Of course, you might think it might not be the same for all, but it's better to prevent something than curing it and (sometimes) it might not even be curable.
To me:
1.) I'm trying trying to be arrogant or proud in any way. Humans not higher in intelligence or creativity compared to others, you say? Tell me, would you compare your intelligence with at least a chimpanzee's, if you believe in the Darwinian evolution theory? Name some other animal if not. I'm not saying they're unintelligent, but are less in comparison to ours.
2.) OK, I am not a biology student and haven't touched it for 2 years by now, so basically, I may not have much knowledge on this area of contemporary research however, as far my knowledge goes, these happen to be exceptionally rare cases. As for those who are imprisoned, I believe that they lack the sense morality in the first place, otherwise they wouldn't've ended up in jail. Secondly, they can't control their temptations when they do come.
It is sad to hear that you've been raped, well, twice, and it should be punished worse than the normal one. I don't live in the US, so I don't know much about its laws and policies, but this a a very weird thing not having this counted as a rape and letting such a thing go unpunished.

Islam was preached by the last and final messenger of Allah, Muhammad (PBUH) and we are obliged to follow his teachings in the Hadith along with the Holy Qur'an. As far as I know of (and can't doubt, either), none of his teachings were out of what Allah wanted him or asked him to say. So, I'll quote a few Hadith I found on this matter.

*Ibn al-Qayyim, an Islamic scholar explains:
"Both of them – fornication and homosexuality – involve immorality that goes against the wisdom of Allah’s creation and commandment. For homosexuality involves innumerable evil and harms, and the one to whom it is done would be better off being killed than having this done to him, because after that he will become so evil and so corrupt that there can be no hope of his being reformed, and all good is lost for him, and he will no longer feel any shame before Allah or before His creation. The semen of the one who did that to him will act as a poison on his body and soul. The scholars differed as to whether the one to whom it is done will ever enter Paradise."
One more Hadith which I can't find which collection it goes to is:
"No man should look at the private parts of another man, and no woman should look at the private parts of another woman, and no two men sleep (in bed) under one cover."

Finally, I'd like to ask if this is a good link or not. Just found it now.

I do not intend to hurt anyone's feelings in anyway, so I apologise if I have. smile

some of my friends are lesbo or gay...
It doesn't bother anyone, the rest of us are straight, but we really don't care about which sexuality one of us prefers...

They are good loyal friends that we all care about...
