[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]new PP here. born and raised in the Muslim family. that 42% is total BS and made up stat. do not forget for Muslim it is OK to lie to infidel. when this survey is performed most Muslims probably lied because they know how you can get into trouble for so_called discrimination if you do say you are against gays when somebody asks me that about gays I just flat out lie because technically there is no freedom in this country you cannot express your true religion belief and Quran says homosexuality is a sin and should be punished. most likely those people who made up that 42% lied just like I do. I don't care if you don't agree with me you ask a stupid question and expect that people will agree with you nope that's my honest opinion that is based on Quran.[/quote]

Actually, I do believe in the 42% statistic. I am a practicing Muslim. I have Muslim friends who defend same sex marriage. I know it sounds crazy, but they do. I don't support same sex marriage though. I have had many discussions/arguments with them over this. When I pull out the Quran to show them the specific ayahs and explain the translation, they are often silent. It's just that the media and pop culture is so liberal leaning and powerful here that the public is made to feel bad about discriminating gays. Muslims should never feel guilty for following their religion, though. We don't hate gays; we just can not support gay lifestyle. [/quote]

People should feel badly about discriminating against gays. Just as they should feel badly about discriminating against Muslims.  We have a constitutional republic that is supposed to protect human rights for all.  Not just white straight Christian men. We haven't been great at it all theses years, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try.  If you don't lien gay marriage, don't marry someone of your sex. But don't discriminate against those who do.

You're assuming that Islam is a religion made by people. It wasn't. Muslims believe Islamic decrees are divinely inspired. So they can't be changed simply because society wants change. The decrees are from God and if God wanted gay lifestyle to be accepted, He would  have said so.  Muslims don't think gays need to be punished or discriminated in secular areas of life, but they can not support marriage equality because it goes against God's laws.[/quote]
