According to the country's [Saudi Arabia] interpretation of sharia, a married man who commits sodomy, or a non-Muslim who engages in sodomy with a Muslim, can be stoned to death.
Are you in favor of sanctioning Saudi Arabia?
Who would have thought you were such a big pro-homosexual human rights advocate!
Irrelevant to this thread. If you cannot defend your own claims or debunk mine, leave the fkn thread.
Irrelevant to this thread. If you cannot defend your own claims or debunk mine, leave the fkn thread.You're the one who brought up Saudi Arabian laws
Are you proposing that we treat Saudi Arabia the same as you propose we treat Iran?It's a simple "yes" or "no" question.
Would a so called "moderate muslim" call for the death penatlty for anyone performing homsexual acts?
The problem is that in much of the Muslim world fundamentalists do have political power.
Case in point.The fact that homosexual's aren't chucked into furnaces is an act of charity...
We instead would say, "He who is without sin cast the first stone"
Would a so called "moderate muslim" call for the death penatlty for anyone performing homsexual acts? YES or NO?Your question is clearly deceptive.
If I polled christians around the planet and said, "do homos deserve to burn in hell for all eternity", how many do you think would say "yes"?
Please present the data you are obviously so eager to present and let's discuss that.
Presumably many Christians know the verse"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." (Lev 20:13) is in the bible but they don't call for the death penalty for gays. But perhaps if Christian fundamentalists gain power that will be the law.

Whether you are a racist and whether I am a 'libtard' is neither here nor there.
Given there is a social issue to be addressed, the important thing is what to do about it.
I think the content and tone of your posts exaggerates, exacerbates and misreprents the issues.
I'm sure even you would not claim that you strive for balance in you posts on Islam!
so I try to put some sand on top!
That's not because I love Islam or don't see the problem it's because I think you are -in a very small way because your audience here is tiny and not very receptive - making things worse using a 'tabloid' approach to a 'broadsheet' problem!
You keep trying don't you, but it doesn't work no matter how many times you try to contextualise ancient 7th century Islam with 21st century Christianity
I have given my opinion on that score [i.e. what to do] many times to you and you simply ignored it.
Sounds a lot like shut me up or cover something up you don't want exposed.
Maybe if we chopped people's hands off for theft or stoned adulterers to death people would remember this stuff is bad.
But that is the difference between Islam and Christianity. We are a lot nicer.
Would a so called "moderate muslim" call for the death penatlty for anyone performing homosexual acts? YES or NO?The problem is your insistence that the answer is yes or no. Sometimes things just aren't that simple, are they?
Are most Muslims in the UK calling for the death penalty for homosexual acts?
For different reasons, Stephen and I don't like the word 'moderate'.
I've gone off it recently because it doesn't have a clear meaning.
I think Stephen doesn't like it because it implies there could be an 'acceptable face of islam' different from the demonised bogeyman he promotes.
You keep trying don't you, but it doesn't work no matter how many times you try to contextualise ancient 7th century Islam with 21st century ChristianityMy intent was to illustrate the difference between cultures.
I think that if people try to imagine the US being run by insane fundamentalist evangelicals they will get a good idea of how different the Islamic world is from what we are familiar with.
I have given my opinion on that score [i.e. what to do] many times to you and you simply ignored it.I confess to not recalling what you recommended. But even if I did, there might be someone following this thread who doesn't know what you think should be done so you might care to repeat it.

Sounds a lot like shut me up or cover something up you don't want exposed.Sounds a lot like you want a free hand and to be unchallenged!
Being a Muslim does not in-and-of-itself make you a terrorist.
If I polled christians around the planet and said, "do homos deserve to burn in hell for all eternity", how many do you think would say "yes"?
Being a Muslim does not in-and-of-itself make you a terrorist.And you won't find anywhere on this forum where I have even suggested that never mind said it.
so if it "perfect" it don't need altering or reforming or dragging into the 21st century.
Nice try, accept for the the silly schoolboy error.
