Same sex attraction and sodomy: A preliminary solution for dealing with the threat of general acceptance of sexual perversions among Muslims-I

This article has primarily been written as a follow up to Br. Yasir Qadhi’s “Dealing with Homosexual Urges” article on muslimmatters.org and as a solution oriented response to some of the comments generated by it.    Muslimmatters was not interested in publishing this article; this is why it’s been posted here. The views responded to in this article are prevalant, therefore the advice and recommendations presented here can be of benefit to all, inshaAllah!  

I. Advice to Islamic educators, people of knowledge (shaykhs and “shaykhs” alike), and Muslim people of influence:

In a nutshell:  Revisit the basics. Review the rules.  Don’t ignore common sense.    

i. Homosexuality goes against human nature (common sense). Same sex attraction is misguided shaytan suggested attraction (fine detail of the common sense).  Both are spiritual ailments requiring spiritual cures.  Believe that the cures for these ailments must come from the Quran (or the Sunnah). 

ii. The Quran is the ultimate book regarding all matters.  Give the Quranic solutions to SSA and homosexuality their proper due. Do not underestimate the power of adhering to Quranic rules that control the causes of perverted thoughts and behaviors.  Present Quranic cures not just as potential solutions, but as the ultimate ones (see treatment section of this article). 

iii. Realize that the Quranic information on homosexuality supersedes any contemporary psychological or biological research study.  Incorporating Islamically invalid research implications in your suggested solutions is unwise.   When you have the Quran on your side, you do not have to be a psychologist, biologist or a rocket scientist to authoritatively claim that studies that validate homosexuality or SSA are flawed.   So go ahead and be BOLD in your invalidation! 

iv.  Harshly condemn homosexuality and ideas that purport SSA as being natural and uncontrollable at every arising opportunity. 

v. Islamically appropriate anti-gay remarks are not hate speech.  So do NOT apologize for them. Ever.  Push the apologetic approach into the abyss (without falling in it yourself, ofcourse!).

vi. Do not succumb to the pressures of being politically correct, either from your peers or the general public, for making SSA normal and acceptable.  Talk about Islam with accuracy, dignity and confidence at all times.  Stay away from people who try to overpower you with their sodomitic nonsense.  Protecting your personal faith and strengthening yourself is more important than weakly ‘dealing’ with societal problems.  

vii. Be cautious in responding to questions and remarks that seek validation for shaytan suggested attraction and homosexuality. Imagine the number of Muslim people you have influence over.  Then imagine hell. Your one misstatement or slip of tongue can mislead the masses; you will be held accountable for your words and their actions on the Day of Recompense. So speak cautiously.  Don’t get swayed by sentiments. 

viii. Above all, seek refuge in Allah from the accursed devil and ask for His support and guidance.

II.  Debunking the cheesy mozzarella cheese conjecture:

In a nutshell:  Snap out of the emotional and psychological vacuum and seek Islamic solutions.  Drop the kafir developed psychology!

The following is a directly quoted comment of a SSA struggling sister to Br. Yasir Qadhi’s post. It is a good example of the kind of unnecessary emotional sabotage some SSA sufferers commit and the psychological vacuum some of them dwell in.  The response to it follows:

This is a long topic though but just to brush the surface: You will notice people with SSA do not always have good relationships with their parents, they probably identified with the opposite gender at a young age, they might’ve been repelled by their same gender at a young age, they may have been sexually molested/abused at some point in their lives, they might have grown up in physically abusive homes, they probably have insecurities deeply rooted in how unsafe they feel at home or around others of the opposite sex, and the list goes on. There is so much to be said on these topics and it is all out there for those who wish to find them.

Going through emotional torture can certainly cripple a human being but it can never change their innate sexuality.  Put into a physical perspective, getting beat up by a cane can injure a person or cripple him/her but it can never turn him/her into an animal.  Injury can never injure the innately human identity.  Therefore, the more the abuse argument is stretched, the weaker and tasteless it becomes. Stretching it is just like stretching heated mozzarella cheese-when stretched to the max, it becomes close to being non-existent.  The cheesy quality of this argument is quite the opposite of what is observed in valid positions—they withstand the test of stretching because of their strength.  The mozzrella cheese position doesn’t hold any water in the pure Islamic arena and it will certainly be rejected by the sick sodomitic stance.  It’s an on-the-fence cheesy, cob-webby conjecture waiting to be tossed out!  

People who are proudly promoting this conjecture are still struggling from SSA because they apparently turned to kafir developed psychology for solutions (ex:  quoted comment) instead of turning to the Quran (and the Sunnah).  Plus, the approach they have taken, i.e. creating online groups, hurts them more than helping them.  Reason: They are dwelling over the problem with a group of around 300 people and losing sensitivity (see Islamic solution section) about the filthy nature of their “attraction” while they should be looking for solutions in the Quran.

The common sense approach is to ignore the “attraction” and hang around heterosexuals.  This method helps the individuals keep their mind off the SSA and gives the brain an opportunity to be influenced by peer heterosexuality.  Continuation of a the previous comment…

Another point I would like to emphasize is that marriage is not the solution, but it is PART of the solution for sure. Marriage is very important and should be worked on attaining, whether or not one struggles with SSA, as it is a completion of half of our faith. It should not be put off, but it should also be realized that it should not be seen as the sole solution. There is a lot more emotionally that one needs to work on in combination with taking steps like getting married.

See treatment section of this article.

III. Training the tender approach takers:

In a nutshell:  Train your amygdala (brain’s emotional center)! 

It is true that SSA does not equal homosexuality.  It is also true that SSA is the founding block of homosexuality.  In light of these two true statements, realize that when not nipped in the bud, this sort of attraction can fester into a funky fungus. When the SSA sufferers try to seek validation for their shaytan suggested attraction in sometimes subtle sometimes open ways, despite being aware of the Islamic stance, addressing them with tenderness is NOT the right approach.  Observe and learn about Allah’s attitude regarding homosexuality before letting those emotional neurons fire! 

Quranic verses:

“We also sent Lut: He said to his people: “Do ye commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you? For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds.” (Qur’an 7:80-81)

“What! Of all creatures do ye come unto the males, and leave the wives your Lord created for you? Nay, but ye are forward folk.” Qur’an (26:165-166)

“Verily, We sent against them a violent storm of stones (which destroyed them all), except the family of Lut, them We saved in the last hour of the night” (Quran 54:34)

Don’t forget the Hadith

*It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “The Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever you find doing the deed of the people of Lut, kill the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.”

(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1456; Abu Dawood, 4462; Ibn Maajah, 2561.  This hadeeth was classified as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, no. 6589).

*It was narrated that Jaabir (may Allah be pleased with him):  “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:  “There is nothing I fear for my Ummah more than the deed of the people of Lut.”

(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1457; Ibn Maajah, 2563.  This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, no. 1552).

Now please start the neural training!  Save the mis-expressed nurturing and validation for your tender-toddlers.    

IV. Educating the pop-psychology promoters:

In a nutshell:  Puke the half-baked-pop-psychology!  Contemporary science is contaminated.  Interesting ≠ Islamically valid!

Hypotheses for contemporary research studies are usually rooted in mostly kafir developed science theories which may or may not be Islamically valid.  General lack of knowledge about its Islamic validity is what makes the extraction of solutions for spiritual problems from the psychological sciences, problematic.  Guaranteed solutions to spiritual problems with psychological components can only come from the Quran (or the Sunnah). These solutions do not need to be tested for their validity as they are designed by the ONE who created us all, i.e. the ONE who knows more about human psychology than the struggling (to understand) scientist.  So, as Muslims our solution oriented research must begin from the Quran (and the Sunnah), not end at it.  We must test all scientific solutions that are presented to us for their Islamic validity before accepting them.  In order to do just that, an effort has been undertaken >>> will have to wait for the sweet surprise!

The following comment, directly quoted from Muslimmatters, perfectly illustrates the typical response of a Quran underestimating pop-psychology promoter.  The response to it follows:

While i admire the attempt to address this issue I have a few points of concern:

With all respect, I believe the author hypothesizing causations for homosexuality highly discredits him. There is no statical information or sound proof or correlation for these assumptions. It is simply a distraction. In addition, the author doesn’t seem to cite anything nor seem to have formal learning in such areas such as gender studies or social sciences, nor should he attempt to.

Homosexuality is a moral and spiritual disease with a psychological component and the author DOES NOT need statistical information, formal learning in gender studies or social sciences for hypothesizing causations for homosexuality.  As for sound proof or correlation for these assumptions, he’s got that (agreed there are no specific citations from the Quran, but that can be worked on).  If it hasn’t been noticed, his correlations for the causes of sexually perverted thoughts and behaviors are rooted in the Quran and that is MORE THAN ENOUGH!  In all honesty, asking for statistical proof and discrediting him is a distraction, if not a detraction!  It is a gross underestimation of the power of Quranic rules that prevent the causes of shaytan suggested attraction (SSA) and homosexuality. 

V.  Treating the misdiagnosing virtual “neurological nerd-iologists”:

In a nutshell:  Torture=BAD!  Be quiet and feel ashamed! Eat walnuts, they’re good for the brain. 

While on one hand it is a positive thing to empathize and offer solutions for a problem, it is quite the opposite when you are totally unaware of the grave implications of your suggested solutions.    It is clear from some of books that were suggested, that the recommenders did not have a valid understanding of the problem at hand.  Recommending books with  purely psychological solutions (whether valid or invalid), is one thing, but suggesting solutions that physically torture people’s brains, makes them prone to mental illnesses and possibly weakens their neural connections calls a good amount of virtual muzzling!

All people whose suggestions fall in this category seriously need to omega-fy their brains with some walnuts!  Once that is done, they can start some real learning! 

VI. Dealing with the besharm- bandar^* and his likes (Language personalized for the culprit)

In a nutshell:  Get ready for some lathi^** love!!!

Translation: *Shameless monkey ** A baton, popular weapon of the Indian police. 

Since the present world lacks a unified Muslim government that can chastise movie-making, propaganda-promoting sodomitic “Muslims”, it is challenging for Muslims to agree on a plausible punishment for such frivolous faggots.  Possible punishments should be tested both theoretically as well as on a practical level before they are actually implemented.  The solution that seems the most plausible-at least to me-on a theoretical level, is to send some lathi-armed Indian police after such dirt bags.  This way we would be complying with the criminal law established by the WbKS (Wanna-be Khalifa System) with regards to lashing.  The lathi-charging could begin once the culprit (and his buddies) are chased and locked in the deep, dark, dungeons of dusky Darjeeling… 

And end like so…

WHAT SAY YOU ALL?!?

End of part I. Please proceed to Part II…
