    Yasir Qadhi: LGBT Movement Hypocritical

    We learn from the Quran that when the Prophet Lūt was preaching to his people, eventually his people threatened him: “Expel the people of Lūt from our town! They are a group that seek to purify us” [al-Naml; 56].

    Alas! History always repeats itself, and the way matters are heading now, I fear it is only a matter of time before mobs begin to gather, and legislation is passed, to ban people who believe in the standard morality of sexuality.

    This vicious onslaught after the Orlando massacre against people who wish to affirm what used to be the mainstream Abrahamic understanding of morality exemplifies the intolerance and bigotry of the very folks who would accuse others of intolerance and bigotry.

    Where is the freedom to believe and practice what I choose? We have agreed to abide by the conditions of American liberalism: to live and let live. We have agreed that anyone who preaches hatred and violence should be marginalized and stopped if possible.

    I agree that I have no right to force my positions and opinions on you.

    Will you, who used to champion for your personal freedoms and ask us to simply let you be, allow me that same privilege?

    Yasir Qadhi: Stresses In LGBT Lifestyle, Lax Gun Controls, Not Islam, Triggers For Orlando Massacre

    It has now been confirmed, by multiple sources, that Omar Mateen, the shooter in the Orlando massacre, was himself gay. He frequently visited the same club that he committed the massacre in, and he attempted to initiate dates on a famous gay-dating app.  Additionally, he was born and raised in America.

    His wife, father and community have all claimed that he was not religious in the slightest.

    Multiple eyewitness reports indicate that he would get drunk at the very club he committed the massacre in, and would have to be kicked out because of his unruly behavior.

    Colleagues and acquaintances have mentioned that he was a loner, a social introvert, and prone to make violent statements and threats against other people.

    His wife left him because he beat her and was physically abusive.

    Yet, the media continues to ask questions about ‘radical Islam’ and about Islam’s stance on homosexuality. What blatant hypocrisy!

    He wasn’t a ‘radical Muslim’.

    He was a mentally deranged psychopathic American closet homosexual who was battling with his sexual identity.

    Instead of concentrating on his mental issues, and on the easy gun laws that our country is notorious for, politicians and media pundits wish to cast all of that aside, and choose the easier target of questioning his faith, and of Islam’s stance on sexual issues.

    The guy was mental, plain and simple. Islam’s stance on homosexuality is IRRELEVANT to this massacre, period.
