Between everything we believe in, everything we've been told, and everything we always knew, homosexuality in todays world is one of the most controversial issues, and one we try not to discuss in our society.
I myself, have a dilema when it comes to this issue. From a religious point of view, I know that this lifestyle if chosen to live is forbidden and its one of the greatest sins. I also feel, from a different point of view ( I don't want to say human since i believe religion is very humanly centered...if that makes sense) that people have the right to love whomever they want to, since thats a feeling that is not easily controled in todays world.
So when the whole world is speaking out about this issue, for someone whos lost between two sides what should be done?!
I BELIEVE that acting on it is a sin, but deep down i FEEL that God is most mercifull and that although it might be a sin, its not as ugly as people make it to be. I wish i could find myself with one or the other to free myself.
However, whatever the answe might be, I wish to see people more tolerant and acceptable since at the end its between god and individuals. Only God can decide to punish or not. Its not a human right to do that ... and thats the one thing i can freely call for...Human rights.

As-Sallaam 3alaikum--
Allaah 3aza wa Jal is indeed the Most Compassionate and the Most Merciful, and so if a person is afflicted with homosexual tendencies, he/she is only to be blamed if he/she acts on them. Allaah does not make mistakes, so if a person is born homosexual (if that is how it works) and is a Muslim, he/she should ask Allaah 3aza wa Jal by His Best Names for help.
Allaah, the Most Exalted, says: {Do men think that they will be left alone on saying, "We believe," and that they will not be tested?} Qur'an: Al-'Ankabut: 2.
wa3alaykom assalam... I agree... thnx for your comment
I totally have a different take on things. Being gay is not something to be blamed for - either in Islam or any other faith. Straight older men want to hold the rest down. It's a status quo issue and it needs to be done with. Good luck with your struggles and know that you are not the only Arab who has worked out their issues.
بالتوفيق

I know its a struggle all over the world .. and whether its right or wrong I just wish its a matter that people can discuss openly without judgement or hate!
