What would you do if you found out your best Muslim mate was gay?

2. a "bit" extreme? A bit ..... how tolerant of you.
You've stated muslims *should* feel upset if someone spat on the koran. So you have told us how muslims *should* feel about things.
As you are NOT living in a muslim land and discrimination against homosexuals is illegal would you employ a homosexual if you knew they were homosexual?

Food for thought?
No, but there isn't a single book to tell us all what to do.
I thought you said earlier that muslims who don't do certain things are not muslims....Raz said:
Do you not all follow the teachings of the Koran? Do you not all have the same rules and regulations? Are you not all to do as the prophet instructed? Is the Koran not a complete set of solutions for every aspect of life?

Did you read what I posted? It was a verse from the Koran telling Muslims to beat their wives if disobedient. You said you disagree, I wasn't aware there was room to disagree with the word of Mohammed/Allah within Islam.
So you do as you feel and call yourself a Muslim?

At least he didn't say he would hand him into the authorites for a stoning.
For a person who's religion is so opposed to homosexuality and who has been indoctrined with the Quran from birth its quite a good answer.
He is avoiding answering difficult questions about islamic attitudes to homosexuals and wife beating and whether muslims are still muslims if they do not obey and believe in the teachings of the Koran or whether they can obey the koran whilst "feeling" that the things they are doing aren't right.... which begs the question "if you don't feel it is the right thing to do then why do you do it or believe it?"badgermonkey said:

Lol. Pick on every word. To what end? To prove something to the other members?
Apologies, I though perhaps daughters would be interested in their father's opinion in who they marry, as although ultimately a woman can marry whoever she wants (as in Islam) she would still want her father to be happy for her future husband.
Naturally, I assumed that as a father you would be interested in who your daughter marries, but from your post I assumed wrong.
I noticed however that you managed to twist it around on me without actually answering the question. Perhaps you feel that giving an answer in the negative would show you to be intolerant of other people's attitudes? Or perhaps we should all believe that your sense of morals is the only way, while all others are wrong?
