Acid attacks, which have become increasingly common in Britain, are a phenomenon in Pakistan. It isn’t likely that those who are threatening Jahed Choudhury are “right-wing extremists.”
“Gay Muslim wedding: Groom receives acid attack threats,” BBC, July 14, 2017:
A man thought to be one of the first UK Muslims to have a same-sex marriage said people have threatened to throw acid in his face since the ceremony.
Jahed Choudhury, 24, married Sean Rogan at Walsall Register Office and shared his story on YouTube.
However, he told the Victoria Derbyshire Show he had been threatened online and in the street.
But the couple said they had also received messages of support and would continue to share their story.
Since their ceremony Mr Choudhury said the couple had received death threats online and abuse on the streets.
“The worst [messages] say ‘the next time I see you in the streets, I’m going to throw acid in your face’.
“Even if I walk down the streets, I have people spitting on me and calling me pig – all the nasty stuff. I just keep walking.”
The couple said they had not yet reported the incident to police and were considering whether to do so.
Mr Choudhury said he had also received “amazing” support from his online followers, including people who said the couple had inspired them to come out.
“I’ve been brought up Muslim and the Koran mentions you cannot be gay and Muslim. But this is how I have chosen to live my life. I will never get rid of my faith.”…

Muslim men can have sex with girls, women, boys, slaves, corpses, animals…you name it. It makes no sense that men are off limits when everybody and everything else isn’t, although, I know on a previous story something like this one, someone commented that it isn’t the sex that’s frowned upon, but the relationship.

Have the muslims forgotten the crowds of little boys like pearls in the muslim heavenly bordello?
James Davis says
I don’t get any of this; a man can have
“Gay Sex” with underage BOY’S, according to the tenets of their Religion, but thrown off a ten story building for being “GAY”??? I do believe so called “Gay Marriage” is unnatural, & a abberation of GOD’S
LAW!!! Adult’s having “kinky sex” within
the privacy(behind closed doors), is nobody’s business, however, because we are ALL human, & have human flaw’s & weaknesses, & we ALL commit SIN, & must ask GOD, for forgiveness. A true Marriage, is a HOLY ACT, but ONLY, between a “REAL” Man, & a “REAL” Women!!! Anything else, IS a True PERVERSION, of ANY RELIGION!!! That’s my opinion!!!!
utis says
The fact they could have a marriage at all, and not get killed before the ceremony, is a tribute to British tolerance, not to Islam. In muslim countries, they would be lynched at the very first rumor of a wedding.
Since Britain is fast becoming Britistan, we’ll see how long it takes for them need to flee the country.

Perhaps, however, it seems that his faith will get rid of him.

Touche…

I can see where this– gay/same sex marriages, can be a major problem for Muslims, especially the devout.
A Muslim man can have 4 wives (although, i think a JW post some time back, some “learned” Muslim official said that a Muslim (male) can have more than 4. (I forgot his methodology, but i think it was up to 9, plus the temporary ones).
Now same sex (male/male) marriage.
Who is the husband?
Let us say ( first) marriage is A to B.
they agree, A is the husband.
Now, A wants more, so he marries C, D, & E. (all males).
E agrees that A could be the husband, but C & D say that they are the husband, and A is the wife.
And, to complicate matters, C & D might t hate each other,m but one covets E and the other B.
And each wants that one as a second wife, because they consider A their wife- they agree to share him. (Perhaps he has a tight butt, or a big schlong).
Then they each try and get 2 other wives– gets confusing because A still considers himself the husband of B, C, D & E…
Expand this, and can see how the imams and other Muslim holy people can get their burqas tied up in knots.

Oh if they stick with their “approved” goats, then there’s no problem. What a sick cult!

Muslims React to Gay Muslim Marriage

I am surprised he has not apostatized, or does he seek a future redemption for all of his “supportive family” and friend.?
In your faith how do you rate the unbeliever?
So in your faith how will you gain paradise?
Are you not afraid that Allah may cast you to hell?
A nice imam from the friendly mosque will show you the koran, hadith, sira and sunnah which will guide you out of the way of this dilemma.
Your blood sacrifice in following Mohammad’s guidance in sending a number of “dirty kaffir” to hell and achieve the best of paradise for your self and stand in good steed for up to 70 relatives of that “really supportive family .
I am just a bit unsure if that includes “the married partner”.
Islam’s march of terror will continue.

Gay marriage does not produce progeny. Is that why it is forbidden in Islam?
Dacritic says
If you choose to be gay, please stop being a Muslim.
Er… actually having said that, I’m confused. Muhammad used to suck on little boys’ tongues and his Paradise also include youthful men, which I presume, is for sexual pleasure right? (Anyone noticed Mo is just like the villains in Arabian Nights? He cares for nothing else but money, power and sex).
So… was Mo also gay, or at least bisexual?

Raping children or to humiliate appears to be fine in Islam–but relationships between consenting adults is verboten.

Visit any gay dating site and you will find many muslims. None show their face, because they know what will happen if they are recognized.

I’m completely stunned by the sheer amount of self entitlement these two are displaying. “I’ve been brought up Muslim and the Koran mentions you cannot be gay and Muslim. But this is how I have chosen to live my life. I will never get rid of my faith.”
Mate – GROW THE EFF UP. This is such a convoluted, complicated mess of a situation. That you deliberately engineered.
Here we have a man, presumably Western raised judging by his attitude and his orientation. He is also a practicing Muslim and he is also Gay. He has then gone to the level of gay marriage, whilst still loudly and proudly proclaiming he is a Muslim and is now bitching like an indignant 14 year old teen girl over the fact that Muslims around him, are really, really, REALLY unhappy with what he has done, what he is and what he is saying.
You are not special, my friend. Being Gay does not make you special. Being Muslim does not make you special. Being Male does not make you special. All of this may come as a shock to you – but you are just one of the faceless masses in our nation’s. You are not special.
So why do you think that an entire religion (one which frankly, I have nothing but disrespect, disgust and sheer hatred for) and its devotee’s should change their core, fundamental beliefs – just so as to suit you?
And how on earth can you say that you are a Muslim, have been raised a Muslim and will keep on being a Muslim – when you are Gay and if there’s one thing the entire world knows right now, its that homosexuality and Islam do not mix. They are not just oil and water, oh no. Homosexuality and Islam are a flame and a mountain of gunpowder. A mountain the size of Everest.
You’re a selfish, spoiled, pampered little brat. I don’t care that you’re Gay. Knock your socks off. I have nothing against that. I believe that you sexual orientation is what you are born with – you cannot help it anymore than you can help being born with fingers and toes and I do not believe myself, that there is anything wrong or obscene with homosexuality.
I also do not believe that someone’s sexual orientation deserves so much God-rotting attention – a lesson that the LGBTQ community would be smart to observe. Surprisingly as it may come to you; most of us could care less about who you like to kiss and who you like to sleep with and who you find attractive. As long as its not children, we really couldn’t care ultimately.
You are just packed to the brim with self-entitlement though. This notion that you can warp a religion (a notoriously rigid and unyielding religion, no less) and its core fundamental beliefs in order to suit your bedroom preferences is ridiculous. The very idea that you expect billions of people around the world to accept this and accept your self entitlement is simply absurd.
Yes, I agree with you that you should not have to be on the receiving end of death threats and threatened acid attacks and violence etc. That is obscene. Note that these threats are all coming from your fellow devotee’s – to your precious little Islam. Maybe you need to examine why you choose to believe in a religion that says YOU DESERVE TO DIE FOR BEING BORN THE WAY YOU ARE? Huh? Has that thought ever crossed your self absorbed little brain? I sincerely doubt it.
Hell, you two could’ve married – had a grand old wedding if you wanted to – and lived long and happy lives together without a moment’s trouble. But oh no. That self entitlement of yours shone to the fore, didn’t it? You just HAD to tell the whole world, in the most intentionally provocative way possible that you are GAY and MUSLIM and MARRIED. You emphasized that as hard as possible. You spoiled little brat’s knew exactly what would happen when you carried on like self absorbed, attention seeking, grandstanding little idiot’s.
Now you’re posting those vaguely sleazy selfies, moaning about getting the exact attention you so determinedly sought. And you want support, pity and empathy? Get real.
You will always be at threat, you will always be at risk – as long as your precious Islam exists. If you want to be safe then you need to renounce it and get the hell away from it and everyone who follows it. If you want a crusade to give purpose to your selfish little life – then become an Apostate and devote yourself to speaking out against Islam and its myriad of atrocities and obscenities.
But taking selfie’s with your husband, shouting as loudly as possible that you are Muslim AND Gay AND Gay Married, whilst stamping your feet, pouting your lips and crossing your arms; all as you insist that you deserve better treatment at the hands of Islam and Muslims in general – will not get you anywhere. Tell me…… Just how many non-Muslim’s have threatened to throw acid in your face, huh? How many non-Muslim’s have shrieked that you deserve to die for being Gay, huh?
Grow up, you selfish little twit. You are not special. You are selfish, self-entitled and self absorbed. And you are putting your own life and the life of your husband at tremendous risk, because of your dogged insistence of your right for special treatment and attention.

If–God forbid–Muslims ever come to power in the UK or the rest of the free West, they will be throwing men like this from tall buildings.
I hope he and his husband stay safe.
