Diversity Q & A

Does your culture or religion influence your views about homosexuality and gay issues?

Haisam

One of the most important teachings of Islam is that every life is important, especially the life of a human.  Muslims are taught to respect every single human being and to also hope for the best for humanity.  Muslims also live by rules we believe are sent from God, one of which is that it is not right for people of the same gender to have sex.  This means that Muslims love and tolerate all other human beings even if they don't agree with the way they live.
