OMAR SULEIMAN’S YAQEEN INSTUTE CONTU ITS PROMOTN OF LGBT AND GAY MARRIAGE

This year on May 17, Canada’s Internatnal Day Agast Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, a poster, promoted unr the spic of a Canadian universy, picted two Mlim women headsrv on the verge of kissg. ” The poster also featured a biracial homosexual uple, a black heterosexual uple, and a uple nsistg of a fully-abled and a disabled person, alongsi the two Mlim women, wh each uple engagg a romantic act. The LGBTQ Natn article end wh the followg statement: “Mlim culture isn’t herently anti-gay: the Qur’an says nothg about homosexualy (unlike the Bible); Islamic history is filled wh texts openly pictg homosexualy as a betiful, matter-of-fact thg; and more Amerin Mlims support same-sex marriage than do Christian Evangelils, Prottants, and Mormons, acrdg to a Pew Rearch Study.

” The amg of the article as a whole, om s tle to s fal paragraph, portrays Mlims who objected to the poster as unnecsarily “homophobic”: they were prottg a betiful thg that their own relig scripture supposedly do not nmn and that their own history has allegedly celebrated for the end, however, the universy acquiced to the mands of the Mlim muny and pulled the poster down. Even agast the aggrsive agenda of the cultural, polil, and palist el, the Mlim muny sred a small but signifint victory for their fah and favor of tth and elaborated below, Islam’s prohibn of homosexual acts is tegoril, and s teachgs on genr relatns and sexual norms are foundatnal and separable om belief Allah and His revelatn.

Given the prodig changg of the cultural wds,  is no longer sufficient for Mlims—and others who disapprove of same-sex relatnships—simply to say that they do not approve of homosexual behavr the same way that they do not approve of drkg or premaral sex between men and women.
