What does Islam really teach about homosexuality?

You know how people say you can't be homosexual and still be a follower of the Prophet? And other liberal people say that's a lie made up by right-wingers such as your obedient servant? Check out "A practical guide for Muslims on how to navigate LGBTQ Pride month".

That allegedly homophobic guide helping Muslims navigate through Pride Month, was published by 5Pillars, a prominent Muslim news organization known in Broken Britain for supporting the Green Party and other forms of wokeism. But gay culture, it seems, is strictly haram!

The short “practical” guide for Western Muslim invaders emphasizes that, according to Islamic texts and scholars, both homosexual acts and same-sex marriage are forbidden and immoral. 

Although it states that same-sex attraction, being involuntary, is not inherently sinful, it encourages homosexual Muslims to seek conversion therapy because acting on their desires is "religiously prohibited." Homosexuality is framed as an affliction that calls for "compassion without compromise."

Good Islamic parents are advised to monitor their children's information diet -- the information, misinformation and disinformation kids get through schools, social media or pop culture -- and to "neutralize" LGBT-friendly messages through Islamic teaching.

5Pillars bills itself as "the largest English-language Muslim news site in Europe, Australia and the Americas". If they have even half the hundreds of thousands of followers they claim, 5Pillars is definitely not a fringe voice.

In related news: The wokesters at the University of Western Ontario in London (ON -- not the big one) have got their pink knickers all in a twist when followers of the Prophet compained about this image posted on social media, which shows four couples -- none of them straight and white -- including two women in the traditional Muslim hijab, about to share a kiss. 

The image drew fierce criticism from some Muslims, which Western acknowledged in a message issued yesterday announcing why they'd removed the post. "Our intent with the post was to demonstrate Western's unwavering support for the 2SLGBTQ+ community on the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia," the post said. 

"We also understand the image was upsetting for some members of the Muslim community." UWO statement went on to say that the post was intended to trigger discussions about how to support queer Muslims. "In order to promote that discussion, we have removed the image from the post to not distract from these important conversations."

A post on The Change.org describes the image of two women wearing the hijab and about to kiss as "offensive." The text goes on to say that the post uses the image of two Muslim women in a way that is insensitive and overtly sexual. "The depiction of the hijab in such a context is disrespectful, tokenizing, and attempting to redefine elements of the hijab by sexualizing and fetishizing an element of Islamic religion that is supposed to desexualize and encapsulate modesty."

A statement issued by the London Council of Imams also supported the decision to have the post taken down. "While we understand that the intent of the poster published on by May17.org is to promote inclusion, we can see that the goal was not met and the means used were contrary to inclusion. Many were left with the impression that Muslims were singled out in having a symbol of their religion included in the poster." The statement went on to say that posting the image led to "hateful comments" being directed at Muslims. "We unequivocally reject any hateful statement directed toward any religion or group based on their religion, culture, ethnicity, and/or sexual orientation." 

But wait, there's more. The headline on Canadian website CP24 reads: "Pride flag burned at Markham school, 2 suspects facing charges". York Region police say two suspects are facing charges in a "potentially hate-motivated incident" that saw a Markham ON school's Pride flag burned.

The coppers responded to an unnamed school located near Yonge Street and Clark Avenue in Markham on Tuesday for reports that the flag had been burned. Investigators determined that two suspects attended the school a day earlier at approximately 2300 and removed the flag from its holder, ripped it, and attempted to set it on fire.

Walt doesn't understand how such an act can be "potentially" hate-motivated. Is that like being "potentially pregnant"? Seems to me an act either is or is not hate-motivated. Perhaps it's a question of proof, rather than jumping to conclusions.

But wait. The two 18-year-old suspects have now been identified as Sepehr Abadar and Mahan Mohammad Radmard, both of Markham, both former students of the school. The young Mohammedans have each been charged with mischief under $5000, and police have now deleted the "potentially" from their account of the incident. A spokesthingy told the meejua "York Regional Police takes all hate-motivated incidents seriously and will not tolerate any form of hate crime."

Walter Williams defines "social justice"

Walter Edward Williams (31/3/36 - 1/12/20 was an American economist, commentator, and academic. He was the John M.

Mr Williams held classical liberal and libertarian views, and wrote frequently for Townhall and Jewish World Review. He was also a popular guest host of The Rush Limbaugh Show.

Here's what Walter Williams had to say about "social justice".

In case you didn't notice, Walter Williams was black. Surprised? Why?

Enough already with the pandering to the alphabet people!

VIDEO: Democratic House candidate calls it what it is

Further to "Did you 'celebrate the power' today?", posted here just yesterday... More than one of our readers has congratulated us for resisting the cheap joke by not substituting, for the "the" in the headline, a two-syllable word which can refer to a cat or to the female pudendum.

We admit to shyness about using said word. After all, this is a family publication! Besides, we are not "male feminists", like Just In Trudeau, the former Governor of Canuckistan. Apparently feminists like to not only use the p-word but to shout it from the rooftops. One such is Michigan House candidate Shelby Campbell. Here's an actual video of Ms Campbell, posted on Libs of TikTok and reposted on Blazing Cat Fur.

We've only seen this clip, and hope there's not more. Kinda makes you want to run right out to the voting booth, doesn't it? Ms Campbell is a Democrat, running in Detroit's District 13.

Genesis 19:24-25: "Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the Lord out of heaven. And he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground." 

Leviticus 18:22: "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination." 

Leviticus 20:13: "If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them." 

Job 35:12: "There they cry out, but he does not answer, because of the pride of evil men." 

Proverbs 8:13: "The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate." 

Proverbs 16:18: "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." 

Daniel 4:37: "Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to humble." 

Romans 1:27: "and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error." 

I Corinthians 6:9-10: "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." 

James 4:6: "But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, 'God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.'" 

Jude 1:7: "Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire." 

I John 2:16-17: "For all that is in the world — the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life — is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever." 

Truly heartwarming. Be sure to side hug a gay and share one of these inspiring verses today.
