There is a culture of homophobia amongst a large number of muslims.
And it is the case that many muslim-majority countries have punitive and discriminatory laws and social practices against homosexuality, and LGBT people in general.
It is true that the Quran regards homosexuality as a sin, as do the Hadiths.
The problem is is that there are other variables other than religion. And what I really tire of is the reductionism and crass generalisations played by too many armchair (and keyboard) sociologists—who think everything is so obvious.
Human and social affairs are complex. Why people hold particular attitudes is complex. Why nations develop in one way or another and how their culture forms is complex. Why a religion may seem authoritarian and intolerant in one place, and relatively benign in another is complex.
There are many muslim-majority countries that don’t criminalise homosexuality. So what’s the difference there? Does anyone stop to analyse?
There are Imams who are openly gay. How is that the case?
And the historical levels of tolerance of homosexuals in Islamic nations hasn’t been static. It’s changed over time and in different places. For long periods it was better than the Christian West—how and why? Does anyone analyse?
What should be obvious is that it is not obvious. And let’s just say that it really is “Islam” that’s the problem, as pretty much the whole of the reactionary right-wing like to claim, and an increasingly number self-styled liberals like Sam Harris and Bil Maher, and various bloggers and vloggers. Then what exactly is the solution? What is the end-game in their (and yours) minds? Becausing blaming and whining isn’t a solution. Nor is putting up a wall and deporting muslims a solution. So what is it that you want to see done exactly?
