Many of you might have come across this striped flag. You might have seen some social media page or a celebrity promoting it. If you had dug a little deeper you would have found that it is the symbol of homosexuality or LGBTQ+. Further, you may have wondered “hey what’s the big deal, why is this thing being promoted everywhere?” You would have also looked at the Islamic stance on homosexuality and understood that this is a perversion and surely against Islam. You might also have come across some liberal Muslims who will say “let’s say this is against Islam, but let us fight for the rights of LGBTQ people”. These are some of the various thoughts that prevail in present times that a normal person is acquainted with. But what is the root cause of this LGBTQ movement and how long does it aims to affect our lives, let’s have a sneak peek into it.
Name:
The terms LGBTQ+ consist of the various orientation of males and females that are different from the natural orientation i.e. male to female or vice versa. The “+” symbol denotes that there are other orientations and as time passes, it will keep on evolving.
History:
It was in the 1970s that the concept of homosexuality was introduced in American society. At that time, the term gay was known only. Afterward, new orientations (or more precisely- perversions) evolved and the LGBTQ movement gained momentum in the 1990s.
What LGBTQ movement:
The LGBTQ movement, from its inception, demands its acceptance in modern society. It demands that countries must accept their gender(s) as official terms and further protects them from discrimination.
Consequences of the LGBTQ movement:
The perversion of males attracted to males or females to females was considered a bad thing in traditional society. In the major religions of the world, it was a sin to commit such an act. However, the LGBTQ foot soldiers give historical records of these perversions to prove that these things are not new. They claim that these “orientations” existed before. First of all, if they existed in history, they were rarely seen. Secondly, in their rare occurrence too, they were treated as a bad thing or a sin.
Further, since modern society sees everything through the lens of science, there is no strong base to support the existence of a third gender except male and female.
But since science is seen as a torchlight to fend away all the darkness, there are desperate attempts to prove the existence of a third gender. Common people are generally confused in this regard since some people are born with different sexual organs about their gender. They are called hermaphrodites or “hijra”, especially in the Asian subcontinent. These people are not having different gender on their own but due to their birth defects as compared to LGBTQ who seek to introduce genders based on desires.
Now lets us look into the basic idea of LGBTQ with regards to their orientation. As discussed above, the determination of gender identity is based on what a person thinks of himself. If a woman thinks that she is a male, then it is so, if a male thinks he is a female then it is so. If one is confused, then he/she will keep exploring. If one thinks that he or she is not having a gender then it is so. This doesn’t stop even here. If one thinks, he/she is a cat then it is so, if one thinks he/she is a dog then it is so. Some of you might be laughing at it but these things are happening in reality.
There is also a desperate attempt by the torch-bearers of LGBTQ in the west that a child born at birth must not be assigned a gender at all. He/she will assign it manually according to their concept of orientation. Many of these LGBTQ elements are being talked about/discussed at primary level schools in the west. Imagine your son or daughter coming home from school one day and saying that from now onwards I belong to this gender, or I am a cat or I am an elephant. These examples are increasingly becoming common in the west. May Allah save us from this fitnah.
LGBTQ and its major arsenal:
To understand it, we need to understand that corporates need customers and this is where business starts. It will be an easy meal for corporates to have a target customer who purchases everything it tries to sell. Now preying on LGBTQ, a customer group that is so delusional that it cannot even determine its gender, it is easy to sell their products easily.
This is, however, one of the reasons that corporates support LGBTQ. If we dig deeper we find that the crony capitalists who seek to change the world order or try to manipulate it, get their maximum benefit from it.
If applied wholly to society, it would be the vilest of all. Some of its serious problems have started appearing. Recently in Argentina, a man declared himself as a woman to get early retirement and a good pension. In athletics, since they are slowly removing boundations for LGBTQ people, males, who register as females, outperform their co-participants easily.
This is just the beginning of the problem. Only Allah knows how much this perversion will ruin the whole world. We will talk about its effects on the Muslim world and solutions later on inshallah.
