Main points:
- How has homosexuality been abhorred in religious text of Christianity and Islam. What was the reason such a harsh punishment was prescribed by God for a crime which involves two individuals pleasing their bodies?
- People in the west who think Islam has said, ‘Homosexuals should be killed,’ are not fully aware of what Islam is and what Muslims do. There are more homosexuals among Muslims than in any other nation. Among Muslims, there is a very common problem: people want to do everything, but they don’t want to talk about it.
- Today, the human population is in billions but there was a time in history when people would live remotely and they were not aware of others’ existence or presence. If there were 50-100 men in one village, that was the entire world for them. If many men became homosexuals in that tight-knit society, it would negatively affect the women who would look to them for life partners.
- Now, through evolution of intellect, civilisation, and people’s own prescribed values for their life, humanity has come to a point where they want to make a choice for themselves. If you force some ideology on others, and under fear, even if they do it, they won’t enjoy it.
- The spiritual values we represent have no problems. This message of love and peace is for everybody, whether you are homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual or asexual. These things belong to your body. The message and teachings of Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi are so profound and broad. Lord Ra Riaz says, ‘Even if you do not follow a religion, come and obtain divine love. You will be better than those who follow a region but they do not love God.’
- If you want to become a homosexual or not, it is entirely up to you. It has nothing to do with your soul.
