TMK – why not be clearer: if you think that Islamophobia is justified, don’t resort to hyperbole about this blog.

I don’t think I’ve ever condemned anyone for struggling, in fact struggle (spiritual jihad) is central to the message we promote.

I may criticise some people’s choices, but only in order to argue for the path that leads to God’s pleasure. Muslims want good for their brethren in faith and for all people.

An accurate eye will note that my opprobrium above is reserved for people trying to twist the teachings of faith, rather than conform to them.

If there is a justification for fear of muslims or islamaphobia, your blog is it. How quickly you judge (condemn) others’ personal struggles based on your faith. This is what the Catholics do and it is just as reprehensible. It makes appeals by muslims to non-muslims asking for tolerance and understanding offensive.

Farzana recently commented about this blog of ours on the (closed) Imaan forum:

“The guy that runs this site has been hounding LGBT Muslim groups inc/ Imaan for a few years now. He’s obsessed.”

How sad. This group cannot even bring themselves to respond to a single substantive point such as those made in my article above, but they stoop to personal attacks.

If my having a site defending mainstream Islam is “obsession”, what about setting up a group in celebration (not even reasoned defence) of your sexual desires??

What a collection of self-righteous assumptions on the part of someone who knows neither me nor the other writers on this site, let alone what personal experiences they have and knowledge they have gained in order to write on this subject.

And of course he/she is also unaware of what we may say and do concerning other issues of importance, but chooses to assume that we write about homosexuality and do nothing between posts (which are often months apart)!!

what a gathering of pathetic and bitter social judges who sit and analyse the behaviour of people whom they have never known and never will know….stay in your own little worlds and the rest will be realised on the day of YOUR judgement by YOUR god…whatever HIS name may be?
Have you ever thought of analysing what is occuring throughout the MUSLIM world around the globe and expressing anger towards the murderers, rapists, paedophiles, thieves who hide behind the teachings of Islam? No of course not, that is an apple too big to bite into and lets leave that hidden shall we and attack those who have the courage to be true to themselves and true to the world of humanity…over and out…
