In our latest video, we explore the gap between Islamic teachings, Muslim history, and modern attempts to reconcile the faith with LGBT acceptance.
Sure it’s possible! Not only is it possible, it’s very common! When I worked in the Middle East many years ago, I came across more men who wanted a sexual experience than I have ever encountered in the West! Had I not been raised in such a conservative home, and had I been out at that time—I came out of the closet much, much later—I could have had a ball! 😊
Many Arab men are very handsome; they are also very sensuous. Western men could learn a lot from them! Western men are far too cautious and timid.
So, despite Islam forbidding and condemning homosexuality, there are gays aplenty in the Muslim world. In fact, I would go as far as to say that the strict segregation of men and women in Islamic societies even fosters homosexuality. — © Mark Alexander
