The left’s support for Islam is dangerously hypocritical, as they claim to champion LGBTQ rights while aligning with a community that proscribes death for homosexuals, revealing a troubling contradiction
Islam doesn’t just disapprove of homosexuality; Sharia teaches that it’s a reprehensible form of fornication, punishable by death. In a disturbing video, an Islamic leader and his followers enforce Sharia punishment by throwing homosexuals from a high place, as mandated by Islamic law. The leader also invokes Prophet Muhammad’s words: ‘Whoever is found conducting himself in the manner of the people of Lot, kill the doer and the receiver’ (al-Tirmidhi, Sunan 1:152).
This serves as yet another warning, particularly to left-wing and gay individuals in the West who support Islamic causes, that they are effectively endorsing deadly violence against the LGBTQ community.
Despite the very real threat Islam poses to the LGBTQ community, Western nations have opened their borders to millions of Sharia-adherent Muslims, a significant number of whom have entered the West illegally. Furthermore, the legacy press and left-wing governments consistently muzzle dissent against Islamic views on homosexuality, dismissing legitimate criticism as ‘hate crimes’ or smearing critics as ‘Islamophobes.’
Why haven’t Western left-wing leaders raised the question of gay rights under Islam? U.S. Democrats and their celebrity activists have never once promoted a boycott of the Islamic regimes that stone, execute, and jail their homosexual citizens. Why do they not orchestrate a campaign to boycott Iranian or Palestinian goods?
The refusal to acknowledge Islamic homophobia among gay rights advocates, left-wing politicians, and the media poses risks to all non-Muslims and undermines the principles they claim to champion.
See the following quotes from Islamic texts regarding Homosexuality. The Quran, Hadith, and Sira are foundational texts in Islam. The Quran is considered the holy book of Islam, believed to be the word of God as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. Hadith collections contain sayings, actions, and approvals of the Prophet Muhammad, providing guidance on various aspects of life for Muslims. The Sira is the biography of the Prophet Muhammad, detailing his life, teachings, and actions. These texts are central to Islamic belief, practice, and scholarship.
Quran
Quran (7:80-84) – “…For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds…. And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone)” – An account that is borrowed from the Biblical story of Sodom. Muslim scholars through the centuries have interpreted the “rain of stones” on the town as meaning that homosexuals should be stoned, since no other reason is given for the people’s destruction. (Inexplicably, the story is also repeated in three other suras: 15:74, 27:58 and 29:40).
Quran (7:81) – “Will ye commit abomination such as no creature ever did before you?” This verse is part of the previous text establishing that homosexuality as different from (and much worse than) adultery or other sexual sin. According to the Arabic grammar, homosexuality is called the worst sin, while references elsewhere describe other forms of non-marital sex as being “among great sins.”
Quran (26:165-166) – “Of all the creatures in the world, will ye approach males, “And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your mates? Nay, ye are a people transgressing”
Quran (4:16) – “If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. If they repent and amend, Leave them alone” This is the Yusuf Ali translation. The original Arabic does not use the word “men” and simply says “two from among you.” Yusuf Ali may have added the word “men” because the verse seems to refer to a different set than referred to in the prior verse (explicitly denoted as “your women”). In other words, since 4:15 refers to “your women”, 4:16 is presumably written to and refers to men.
Hadith and Sira
Abu Dawud (4462) – The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.” (This is a sahih hadith)
Abu Dawud (4448) – “If a man who is not married is seized committing sodomy, he will be stoned to death.” (see also 4447).
Sahih Bukhari (72:774) – “The Prophet cursed effeminate men (those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners of women) and those women who assume the manners of men, and he said, ‘Turn them out of your houses .’ The Prophet turned out such-and-such man, and ‘Umar turned out such-and-such woman.”
al-Tirmidhi, Sunan 1:152 – [Muhammad said] “Whoever is found conducting himself in the manner of the people of Lot, kill the doer and the receiver.”
Reliance of the Traveller, p17.2 – “May Allah curse him who does what Lot’s people did.” This is also repeated in three other places.
There are several lesser hadith stating, “if a man comes upon a man, then they are both adulterers,” “If a woman comes upon a woman, they are both adulteresses,” “When a man mounts another man, the throne of God shakes,” and “Kill the one that is doing it and also kill the one that it is being done to.” (Abu Dawud 4462 and al-Tirmidhi 1456)
