Hope Or Despair - Understanding Islam

[Canary42]

An interesting little video clip if you're interested in looking at Muslims (rather than blanket condemnation so popular amongst Ab's Islamophobes) and their attitudes to LGBT.

Hope: Can these youngsters eventually steer Islam into a more modern religion, and eliminate the minority extremists (the same way, for example, the RCs moved on from the Spanish Inquisition),
OR
Despair: They seem to suffer lots of negative comments (presumably from Muslim extremists) so are up against serious opposition.

I wonder which way it will go.

How can these young Muslims steer Islam into something KT is not?
It is quote apparent that these young likeable folk don't have a clue about their own holy book.
They appear to want the trappings of the only religion they have any inkling of but are all apostates to Islam.
They should abandon it all right now, and get a life!

How much of a clue do you have about your own holy book Theland?

If we all live on planet earth surely we are all neighbours as there is no other place we can all live.

G'day oz. Spot on mate.
As far as I'm concerned, any one has the right to believe anything they like, As I do, but they don't have the right to try and enforce it onto others.

Live and let live.
The tar brush is a very devastating tool to use and I wish some on here would drop the tar brush and maybe look at their own issues.

why if you disagree with something say for example Islam are you authomatically labelled it makes no sense

//the same way, for example, the RCs moved on from the Spanish Inquisition//
Yeah, but, kiddy fiddling with alter boys wasn't quite the right direction.

Any 'steering' will result in death or serious injury, we know this to be true.

That's me. I shall therefore give the video a miss.

//looking at Muslims (rather than blanket condemnation so popular amongst Ab's Islamophobes) and their attitudes to LGBT.//

But this isn’t the attitude of the vast majority of Muslims. In anything is a ‘blanket’ attitude it’s yours.

//Can these youngsters eventually steer Islam into a more modern religion, //

No.

//and eliminate the minority extremists//

If by ‘extremists’ you mean people who do not embrace or encourage the LGBT world, those ‘extremists are not in the minority. They are in the majority by a very long way. Denying that doesn’t make it any less true.

PP, no one has to be an expert, watch the news, just look at the mass killings that occur they are mostly to do with religion often to do with Islam.
