1st Narrative: Homosexuality is not natural, but only Shaitan misguides people in it
The original narrative by the Quran and Islam was: "Allah didn't create any homosexuality in human nature, but it is only Shaitan who misguides people in it".
And the proof is present in this verse:
Quran 7:80: {And We sent Lut – when he said to his people, “What! You commit the shameful acts which no one in the creation has ever done before you?” Quran 7:80}
All Muslim commentators of the Quran wrote that there existed no homosexuality before the nation of Lut. Then Shaitan misguided them into it.
This means homosexuality is not present by birth in the nature of human beings, but it is only misguidance by Shaitan.
But then a question arose: "Why doesn't Shaitan run away when Muslim homosexuals recite the Islamic Prayers of لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله (Meaning: There is no power or strength save in Allah)." According to Islamic belief, this prayer is enough to get rid of Shaitan and his misguidance, while no power is greater than the name of Allah.
This Islamic narrative of Shaitan's misguidance also resulted in it that homosexual people being sent to Mullahs, who do Ruqyah (i.e. Islamic prayers). Or homosexual people are accused of being possessed by Jinns, and Mullahs do strange things with them (exorcisms). All these practices of Ruqyahs and exorcism bring only extreme depression for homosexual people.
2nd Narrative: Homosexuality is a DISEASE
The prayer of لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله (i.e.There is no power or strength save in Allah) failed miserably in cases of Muslim homosexuals, and they didn't come out of their homosexuality.
Upon that, Islamic preachers came up with a new narrative, where Shaitan disappears.
This time, the narrative is homosexuality is not natural but a DISEASE. And instead of Ruqya/Excorism, this time poor homosexual people have to undergo medical treatment and the so-called Conversion Therapy, which again brings only extreme depression.
This narrative of disease is recent though. It started only in the last century when initially doctors tried to cure homosexuality with medicines and consultations. Nevertheless, this cure also failed after some time and new scientific studies proved it wrong.
Dear Supporters of LGBT Rights!
Please don't accept this 2nd narrative by Muslim apologists. This narrative is nothing else than a LAME Excuse and an innovation (Bid'ah) by them. Quran and Hadith never claimed homosexuality to be a disease, but only Misguidance from Shaitan. And no Muslim homosexuals of the first 1400 years history of Islam were ever given any medicines to overcome their homosexuality. They were only blamed for being misguided by Shaitan.
3rd Narrative: Although Homosexuality is not a choice, but it is a TEST (Trial) from Allah
The first two narratives failed miserably.
Moreover, modern scientific studies proved that homosexuality is indeed not a choice, but people are born this way (link 1, link 2).
This compelled modern Islamic apologists to come up with a new narrative, where they indeed accept that homosexuals are not responsible for their feelings, but this time their excuse is:
"Although one is helpless when he indulges in love with same sex person. Nevertheless Allah prohibited it while it is a Test/Trial by Allah. You are not committing a sin if you feel attraction in a person of your own sex, and fell in love with him, but if you do the act of love, then you are sinnful and you must be killed in most horrible ways.. "
Dear Supporters of LGBT Rights!
Please don't accept this 3rd narrative by them. The Quran or Hadith have nowhere told that homosexuality is a test/trial, or homosexuals are naturally born with it.
Islamic apologists have been compelled to change the original Quranic narrative while modern Science has already proved the Quranic narrative to be completely wrong.
We saw the same pattern against the scientific studies which told about the harms of cousin marriages. Muslims initially tried their best to deny modern scientific studies. But then a time came when they started accepting the scientific studies, while they bring the Ultimate Truth.
The same thing is happening with homosexuality too. Science has already defeated the Quranic narrative, and it has already changed the minds of many Muslims, and they have indeed accepted that homosexuals are born like that.
Therefore, please remember:
- We should not let Islamic apologists run away with their new tactics of Test/Trial.
- Modern Science has already defeated the original Quranic Narrative.
- Please do go on the offensive and do challenge Islamic apologists on their newly fabricated excuse of Test/Trial. Do make them feel ashamed of their fabricated lame excuses.
Please firmly believe in it that the Ultimate Victory belongs to us, while we are on the TRUTH.
Objections by Muslim Apologists:
1st Objection: Allah didn't ask to use لاحول prayer
An Islamic apologist wrote:
The لا حول thing isn't an argument Islam makes. Neither does Islam prescribe exorcism for it. In fact, it prescribes nothing.
Response:
If Islam is unable to prescribe anything against it, then it is due to the reason that there exists no All-Knowing Allah in the heavens, and Muhammad got confused as he had no solution to this.
Allah (i.e. Muhammad) told in the Quran that the nation of Lut was the first one who got misguided. Everything, which is counted as a sin, comes from Shaitan in Islamic doctrine. Thus, the rest was a Logical Conclusion by Muslims themselves that misguidance comes only from Shaitan, and one can get rid of the misguidance of Shaitan by reciting لاحول، or doing Ruqyas or Islamic exorcism.
How can you disagree with Muslims for coming to this logical conclusion?
2nd Objection: Homosexuality can be caused by external factors like childhood trauma
Another Islamic apologist wrote:
Childhood trauma from abuse, rape… that can influence how you view things later in life.
Response:
Even if we assume (which is wrong) that homosexuality is only caused by childhood trauma, still the e point is, the Quran didn't mention this (i.e. childhood Trauma) to be the reason for being homosexual. But it is clear that homosexuality comes from the misguidance of Shaitian.
There are many who never got raped or had any childhood trauma. But still they are attracted towards homosexuality. On our ex-Muslim sub reddit, there are thousands of witnesses by Muslim boys and girls who belonged to religious families, but they are still homosexuals. They have religiously brainwashed their entire life that homosexuality is a sin and crime, but still religion got defeated against their nature.
Moreover, we all know that a young boy, who behaves like a girl, his life automatically becomes difficult. He has to stay among men in most societies. And when men see him behaving like a girl, then they look at him as prey, Thus, if the rate is higher among homosexuals that they were raped as children, then it is not proof that they become homosexuals later due to that childhood trauma, but the opposite could be true (i.e. they are in danger of being raped while they automatically behave like girls right from their childhood).
Homosexuals win this case even without science, solely on the basis of their Testimonies
Islamic preachers come up with only one excuse that science has not found any gay gene.
And our response is, even if science has not 100% found out the reasons for people becoming homosexuals, still we have millions of testimonies where homosexual people are witnessing that they were born so, and they never felt an attraction to the opposite sex.
So, even without science, homosexual people win this case solely on the basis of their testimonies.
