Matt: Why Islam punishes homosexuals? God created homosexuality, did not he?
Hu: Well, God created evil too. Can you blame God for the evil deed people commit for this reason? No. God created both good and evil to test us. Since God doesn’t tell you to choose to be homosexual, you cannot blame God if you choose to become a homosexual.
Matt: Sexuality is not a choice. If homosexuality is a choice, then heterosexuality is a choice too.
Hu: Sexuality is not a choice in the sense that you born with a sexuality. For example, a male baby born with male sexuality (male sex organs) and a female baby born with female sexuality (female sex organs). Sexuality is a choice the sense that you can defy the sexuality you were born with and choose another sexuality. When someone defies the sexuality he or she was born with and chooses to practise another sexuality, he or she is called a homosexual. For example, if a man defies his male sexuality and choose to practise female sexuality, then he is called a homosexual. In Islam, you must go with the sexuality you born with. Choosing to practise a sexuality that you were not born with is same as altering or corrupting the default setting of a system.
Matt: You claim that someone can choose to corrupt the default setting. Then that raises the question, what type person would chose to corrupt that default setting.
Hu: You asked me what type of person would chose to corrupt that default setting. You have no idea of the outside world, Matt. You have no idea about the sick minded people out there. There are people out there who just want to have their sexual desire fulfilled. They don’t care if their sexual partner is a dog or a person of same sex. I personally talked to some gays and asked them what made them gays. They said they wanted to try out homosexuality and then ended up loving being homosexuals. Now you tell me what kind of people they are. Last week I read in the newspaper that an Australian man fucked his neighbour’s dog to death. Now you tell me what kind of man he is. Homosexuality is like an addiction when you adopt that. Killing is an addiction of a serial killer, drinking is an addiction of an alcoholic. Drugs are addiction of a drug addicts. If you pick up a habit, then you have the ability to give up that habit. All you need to have trust in yourself that many addicted can't unless admitted into rehab.
Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi, the Former President of The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) said: "Homosexuality is a moral disorder. It is a moral disease, a sin and corruption... No person is born homosexual, just like no one is born a thief, a liar or murderer. People acquire these evil habits due to a lack of proper guidance and education." (2001)
Matt: We see homosexual behaviors in some animals. If some animals can be homosexuals, then why can’t we human beings be?
Hu: What are homosexual aptitudes or behavior you are referring to? rubbing body with each other? trying to climb on each other? you can't call an animal homosexual based on attitudes not unique to homosexuals. Provide evidence that other animals have sex with the same sex because its unique to homosexuals.
Moreover, even if other animals are homosexuals, that doesn't mean we have to be homosexual as well. When a tiger forcibly has sex with a tigress, we don’t call that tiger a rapist because tiger doesn’t have conscience. We can’t rape people because tigers do. We use our conscience to decide what to do and what not to do.
Matt: Some psychologists say homosexuality is human nature. Why should humans not be homosexual if it’s human nature?
Hu: Well, many psychologists suggest that violence (such as, committing murder, rape, etc.) are human nature. Does this mean that it is okay to murder and rape since they are human nature? The answer is “no”. It doesn’t matter whether homosexuality is a human nature or not. What matters is whether it is good for us or not.
Matt: My nephew was not encouraged to become homosexual, he was just very clearly born like that.
Hu: Personal observation is not proof because there is no way to evaluate its reliability.
Matt: Other people's sexuality is no one's damn business. Everybody should have the right to choose.
Hu: As I mentioned before, homosexuality is a habit just like smoking, drinking, and gambling. You have right to do your habit as long as your habit doesn't harm others. Until medical proof comes out, homosexuality will be seen as a habit like smoking, drinking, & gambling. We human beings ban habits that are harmful for our society. Homosexuality is bad for our society. Check out the link below to know how homosexuality harms both homosexuals and non-homosexuals in our society:
