Orlando Highlights Islam's Complicated Relationship With Homosexuality
NBC News ^ | June 21, 2016 | Alastair Jamieson,Michele Neubert

Posted on 06/21/2016 4:07:20 AM PDT by Biggirl

Islam's approach to homosexuality has been in the spotlight since the massacre at an Orlando gay club — criminal or compassionate? Prejudiced or progressive? While ISIS death squads enforce an extreme version of Islam that punishes gays with death, the religion's history is far more nuanced. And like most relationships, when it comes to Islam and homosexuality — it's complicated.

It’s “complicated”?

Really? “Complicated”?

These people are deranged. And I am specifically referring to NBC. And liberals. And Islam.

What was it I saw, “As long as there is no facial hair homosexuality is OK in the Loran?”. That ain’t homosexuality it is pedophilia. Disgusting.

So, Islam is okay with gays and doesn't prescribe specific treatment or handling for gays in their Koran.

The killings are just crazy people not following Islam.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

Oh, nuanced. Yeah, that islam stuff is so nuanced. Stonings, beheadings, soccer with babies’ heads, burnings in cages...yeah, that’s the ticket.

NBC is utterly correct here.

Killing is complicated.

So...Christians think that homosexuality is unnatural and wrong, and should not be put on an equal footing with the marriage between a man and a women, and that it should not be normalized in schools and in legislation, and that is...Evil, prejudicial, mean spirited, etc.

But Islam thinks it is okay to kill homosexuals, and that is...”complicated”.

Folks, our political differences are no longer a matter of differing ideologies, it is now simply good vs evil.

In a way, it is complicated.

Sodomy is tolerated in many of these countries so long as one is giving and not receiving.Unless it's to stick explosives up one's anus.

To say nothing of pederasty, especially in Afghanistan with the sordid tradition of the "bacha bazi"--boys made to dress up as women for the entertainment of older men. Omar Mateen, being of Afghan descent, was no doubt aware of this practice.

And the big payoff for the successful jihadi martyr isn't just 72 virgins--it's also 28 pre-pubescent boys.

It’s not complicated. Islam is a warrior cult. Throughout history, warrior cults have a lot of homoeroticism. To paraphrase Eric Cartman, Islam is “gay as hell”.

It's "complicated" because pederasty is normal for them.

Yasser Arafat died of AIDS contracted from such proclivities.

It’s amazing how much cover the MSM will provide for Islamic Extremism. Muslim countries drop gays from buildings, hang or stone them and the MSM calls such policies “complicated”.

Throwing gays off buildings is nuanced and complicated.

It’s not complicated
It’s really very simple
Start by choosing any modern islamic country where they would choose to live openly in a homosexual relationship and go from there to feel the love and tolerance

What is complicated is the left’s relationship with the truth.

Good one. That’s the truth.

In one of his books, I think it was the one on Eugenics, G. K. Chesterton, said that when people start talking about a situation being complicated, they are trying to make the bad look good. There is nothing complicated here.
