A very interesting post about some justification on being Muslim and gay at the same time. The link can be found here.

I admit it is a very interesting post, with some good views and opinions by the author. Matters like these should be discussed more often, on equal and fair grounds.

I had a few queries, so I commented on the author’s blog:

Hello there, I bloghopped here. You made alot of sense in your post, interesting opinions, I do agree with you, but I have questions to ask though…

You justified that being gay is okay, because God does not judge based on your physique (it is but a “jasad”). He is “Maha Mengetahui”. What’s important is your heart (the inside), the goodness of your actions that counts. I agree with this totally.

But what if your inside (your heart, you) is determining your outward sexual orientation? Can your argument still stand? What I’m saying is, if you decide for yourself what your sexual orientation is, is that somehow against the will of God? Does every religion come with a set of rules?

And if this is a form of test against “nafsu”, why does the change of sexual orientation even have to start? Does this mean the battle (or “jihad”) failed?

Your article is very good and interesting. Would like to hear your opinions on my questions. Thanks.

Some food for thought for everyone reading this. It will affect everyone, one way or another.
