Does simply speaking to a > person of the opposite sex with whom you are not married suggest > that you are trying to get closer to them on a sexual level, and > are therefore doing something haram? What is the definition of a > "mixed gathering"? How do we develop natural, modest, friendly yet > non-flirty behaviour between members of the opposite sex without > obsessing about free mixing? > > *What is the responsibility of the Muslim community towards people > who are divorced and women in their 30s and 40s who are giving up > hope of finding someone to get married to? Are we facing a generation > of Muslims who are unlikely to get married and are resentful that the > Muslim community has failed them? Could polygamy be a blessing in > disguise if carried out in a just and responsible way? > > * Are you worried and ashamed that there is a growing generation of > sexually frustrated young people in some parts of the Muslim world, > especially the Gulf countries, where unnaturally strict segregation > on the one hand, and bombardment with images of sexually attractive > women and men through satellite TV and multimedia on the other, is > leading to perversion, 'desperate' behaviour, and a dark underworld > of illicit sexual activity? > > * How should the community deal with Muslims who are gay or lesbian? > Should we whip them, should we simply accept them, or should we help > them to recognise and overcome their situation? > > These discussions will be interactive and questions will be taken > from the audience.
