[quote]We have been able to have some comments from some of our research scholars:
 
(Moiz Amjad)I agree with Dave that it is lack of love that results in family breakups. However, that does not by itself, mean that homosexuality should be condoned. In fact, I actually found Dave's sentence: &quot;The one sure thing these kids did not have is homosexual parents', quite amusing. Clearly, the one sure thing these or any kids cannot have is homosexual parents. The conitnued existence of the human race is dependent on at aleast having some people who are not strictly homosexuals, and that, precisely is what is wrong with homosexuality. It is against the nature on which man is created.

(Abdullah Rahim) Homosexuality is in contrary to the way that God created human being and intended the sex mechanism to be. It is explicitly made Haram in all Abrahamic religions. 
Those who have homosexual attitude can be of one of the following categories:
 
1. They have physical disorder. 
In this case they need to consult doctors to determine towards what gender their physical features is closer. If the advice of doctors is to do any surgery to makes it easier for the person to remain in the gender category towards which they are closer, then this should be done. This is similar to other physical disorders that people might be born with.
 
2. They have psychological disorder:
In this case they need to consult a psychologist (who has religious beliefs) in order to fix their biased attitude. This is similar to a person who develops psychological disorders in areas like eating habit, phobia, etc.
 
3. They had a choice and they have chosen to be homosexual, either because of external factors or because of their own ill sexual practices. This, in an Islamic state, is punishable. This is like a person intentionally deciding to break the law.
 
There seems to be two extreme views about the issue:
 
In one extreme, a religious person considers all homosexuals as sinners and considers all of them to be punishable. This is not correct as in the first two categories mentioned above it is not the person's fault that he has developed homosexual attitudes.
 
On the other extreme a modern thinking person considers homosexuality to be legitimate and does not find any problem with it. The fact is, as mentioned above, homosexuality is against the way that God has created human being and is therefore Haram. In the case of the first two categories mentioned above it will be seen as (NOT natural but) a decease. In the case of the third category it will be seen as sin. In no case it can be seen as acceptable.[/quote]
