[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is Muslim, born and raised in the middle east.  He's a flaming liberal socialist, for what it's worth.  But he feels that [b]if people are gay, then God made them that way, so why should they suffer on earth? [/b]

I think you might find a divide, too, between religious marriage by an imam, vs. civil marriage by a judge.   [/quote]

Exactly. I am a devout Hindu.  I feel that God made no mistakes in his creation. He decided to make people of different races, religion and sexuality. To discriminate against groups is to say that God made mistakes and that we know better than Him/Her/It.

That is the reason I feel that people who try and convert others do not have full faith in God's creation.  [/quote]

From the Islamic perspective, God made no mistakes in his creation. Mankind is the one who chooses to err. People are born with various challenges and difficulties. Some people have addictions to alcohol and they may even be genetically predisposed to alcohol. Does that mean we sanction alcoholism? No. Similarly Islam believes whether you are born with the tendency to behave one way or another, you still need to control the urge to act in any way that harms society. Homosexuality is viewed as a harm to society in Islam.[/quote]
