I have seen these seemingly contradictory views particularly from Muslim comrades. However, this is not limited to them.

This post is a genuine question not a rant, so please treat it as such.

    Okay how would you feel if a close friend who was also Muslim confesses to you that they were gay or trans.

    Someone who was close and tight knit in your Muslim community, a fellow practitioner of the faith.

      I wouldn’t personally care. I don’t go to the mosque as much as I used to, it’d be silly of me to criticize somebody else because of the “rules” they break while I am living with my partner even though we aren’t married lol.

      I see plenty of muslims who drink alcohol, listen to music, have premarital sex, use credit cards, smoke weed, smoke tobacco, wear gold, etc., but get butthurt at someone offering them pepperoni pizza lol.

      Idk, humans in general tend to rationalize their own sins while belittling others for whatever “sins” they commit. How many dudes named something like “Abdul Rahman Aziz Mohammed Al Mohtahab” are working for Lockheed Martin.

      I’ve ended relationships with a lot of Muslims who work in industries that manufacture death and destruction that target people in their home countries. Funny how all of them have conservative views when it comes to women or LGBT though. I’m sure God would send a profiteer of genocide to hell before a gay person but what do I know

        A particularly keen observation.
