mosexuality is a problem of human rights that must be stood up for. Actually
this is a mere reflection of the hypocrite's loss of dignity and wretched state of
mind. In order to be accepted by the prominent people among unbelievers and to
attain financial opportunities through them, hypocrites 'try to be sycophants to
homosexual perverts.' These hypocrites who seek to distort religion from within
and turn people away from the moral values of Islam, make use of such perversions
and aim at degenerating the religion of Islam. Through diabolical lies, they try to
give the image that 'even a Muslim can lean towards homosexuality and defend
the rights of these people' and attempt to 'bring a deviant interpretation and un-
derstanding into Islam'. True religion and the evil, irreligious and selfish system

in their minds do not match. Therefore, hypocrites try to fit religion into their
own mentality through deviant interpretations. To do this, they take advantage

of the immorality of unbelievers and try to bring such deviation into religion.

Therefore, they subscribe to revolting, deviant and dangerous acts such as 'ho-

mosexual marriages' or 'homosexual's adopting children with an aim to bring

them up as homosexuals as well'. It is very clear that under such abhorrent cir-

cumstances, these adopted children could be subject to serious sexual abuse and

they would be put into real danger. As a result -as revealed by many studies- these

children adopted by homosexuals would in the end be exposed to diseases like

'psychiatric disorders' and 'substance abuse.' They would grow up to become

people 'inclined to sexual assault and suicide' and 'face the risk of catching

sexually transmitted diseases like AIDS.' For example, today in the USA, there

are 94,627 households consisting of homosexual couples with children and the

total number of children living with at least one homosexual parent is estimated

to be ranging from 6 to 14 million. This horrifying picture that children are

exposed to is enough to understand the gravity of the situation.

Muslims who become cognizant of these insidious games supported by hyp-

ocrites in the Islamic world have a great responsibility. Believers must tell these

deviant people in a reasonable way that what they are doing is 'an immoral and

perverted act' and call them to the right path. They must educate people by telling

them about the ugliness of this loathsome act and must prevent this deviation

from spreading within the society. Once this disgusting perversion is abased
properly and people have a thorough understanding of this abnormality, this
will prevent ignorant people from inclining to this deviancy to a great extent.
Therefore a serious intellectual struggle must be carried out against the le-
gitimization and encouragement of homosexuality. All Muslims have a responsi-
bility to tell the people the truth in order to forestall such deviant affairs in society.
