HOMOSEXUALITY: YET ANOTHER EVIL LEGALIZED BY AMERICA

By Ibrahim Teslim, Abdullahi

There is no doubt that United States of America is arguably one of the most sought countries in the world. Even when growing as a child I remember one of our prayer points (especially during naming ceremony) is for a child to travel to America. As traveling to America was the peak of achievement to any child born in Africa continent. Similarly, we grew up to know that anything abroad is synonymous to America.
In fact, it took a lot of time before I could segregate 'abroad' from 'America' (as a growing kid then).

 USA is a country that controls virtually the entire world. Although colonized by the British but stands as the world super power. As it is popularly known to all that this is a developed country that render aids to developing and under developed countries around the world.

 In spite of their magnanimous support render to developing and under-developed countries, America has been able to infuse a lot of corruption, immoral practices and other social vices into the world. They mostly show interest in troubled countries endowed with crude oil, whereby supporting one party against another in order to promote their feud by technically siphoning their oil to their own reservoir. There is no uprising in the world that you don't find the print of the US government. Example of these countries are Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, Palestine to mention a few. 

The recent imbroglio is their enactment of same sex marriage into law. This particular act had been a forbidden act from time immemorial. By revisiting it now to show "sympathy" to some possessed group is the height of perversion and aberration. The onus will definitely be on the US proteges i.e developing countries and under-developed countries domicile in Africa continent. Because pretty soon the world super power may soon use it as a bait in assisting these countries.

 Good and happy to know the stand of my country Nigeria on this evil practice. As we have it as an act NEVER to be considered let alone debated upon. One of the most great achievements I saw in the last administration. To self acclaimed human rights activists who may want to clamour for a pseudo "rights" for these pathetic gay group, there is need to remind you that such act (gayness) is frankly prohibited by the Almighty which cut across in the scriptures referencing to both Christianity and Islamic religions.

 HOMOSEXUALITY

 This is an aberration whereby a person is sexually attracted to people from the same sex. This may reach the level of performing intercourse among members of the same sex. Homosexuality is divided into "sodomy" for men and "lesbianism" for women. 

Sodomy

 Sodomy (in Arabic is called liwat) is for a man to perform anal intercourse with another man. Sodomy is the most appalling sexual aberration for men. It indicates a marked deviation in a man's nature from the pure and clean state upon which Allah created him. It is a major sin that was not committed by any human beings prior to the Sodomite people of Lut (ASW). Allah (SWT) says:

 "And (remember) Lut, when he said to his people, 'Do you commit such depravity with which no one has preceded you from among the peoples? Indeed, you direct your desire to men instead of women - rather, you are a transgressing people'. But his people's only response was, 'Drive them (Lut's family) out of your town, for indeed they are folks who purify themselves (from sinning)'. So We saved him and his family, except for his wife- she was of the doomed ones. And We sent down upon them a rain (of stones). Thus, see how was the end of the criminals." Suratuh Al-'Araf Chapter 7 verses 80 to 84.

 From the above ayat, we see that sodomy is a major sin that deserves a most severe punishment. Some of today's cultures are sympathetic with it, giving it misleading names such as "sexual preference", "alternative lifestyle", and "gayness". They also sympathize with the criminals who commit it and allow them social rights that reach the level of offending the "straight" people. This only points to the serious degree of corruption that the modern civilization has reached.

 Sodomy is one of the major sins that deserve Allah's curse. Ibn 'Abbas (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (SAW) said:

 "Accursed is he who curses his father. Accursed is he who curses his mother. Accursed is he who slaughters to other than Allah. Accursed is he who changes the landmarks (to take someone's land without right). Accursed is he who misleads a blind man. Accursed is he who copulates with an animal. Accursed is he who does the doing of Lut's people." [Ahmad]

 Under the Islamic law, a person who is convicted of sodomy is subject to the capital punishment of killing. Ibn 'Abbas (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (SAW) said:

 "Whomever you find doing the deed of Lut's people, kill the doer and the one to whom it is done." [Abu Dawud, at-Tirmidhi, and others].

 Thus, what we hear nowadays of some so-called Muslims establishing so-called "Muslim gay associations" is clear non-sense. A person who is afflicted by indulgence in such a major sin must hide away sin and repent to Allah rather than insisting on it and daring to openly advertise his wickedness.

 It is important to emphasize what we previously mentioned. The Islamic penalties for various crimes are only handled by the ruler of the Islamic state or his authorized representative. It is not to the individuals or local community Imams to establish such penalties.

 LESBIANISM

Lesbianism (in Arabic is called sihaq) is an aberration whereby two women perform sexual acts together. This would normally involve many violations to Islam, mainly:

 1. Exposing their 'awrah (nakedness) to each other. 

2. Stimulating each other's private parts, and performing other acts of intimacy that may only be done between a woman and her husband.

 3. Performing various perverted acts in order to reach sexual gratification.

 All of the above contradicts the wisdom of marriage and violates Allah's command to the believers to guard their private parts from other than their spouses. Because of this, sihaq is clearly prohibited in Islam. Its penalty under the Islamic law is same as that of sodomy.

 Can someone please tell the US government not to export the introduction of homosexuality to this part of the world as we have rejected it before so shall we do it again. We use this medium to beg the new government of Nigeria not to reconsider or debate this evil practice as it stands rejected in all spheres. 

Lastly to the free-thinkers, atheists who don't believe in the above quotations of the Qur'an from the Almighty Allah should kindly seek spiritual exorcism or if you like deliverance. Gay is evil and its penalty will forever be capital punishment of killing.
