If Pink News really thinks that this is a sign that Muslims are becoming accepting of homosexuality, it is in for a rude surprise. Many Islamic groups in the West support same-sex marriage solely for tactical reasons: they know it will open the door to the legalization of polygamy. The support in this poll is a sign that some Muslims in the U.S. know what pollsters want to hear, and tell it to them, and that others know what they have to do to work toward their long-term agenda.
Muslims in the U.S. believe in the Qur’an, and the Qur’an contains numerous condemnations of homosexual activity: “And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, ‘Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds? Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people.’…And We rained upon them a rain [of stones]. Then see how was the end of the criminals.” (Qur’an 7:80-84)
The Bible, of course, also condemns homosexual activity, but Islam goes farther than Christianity in specifying the death penalty for homosexual activity. Muhammad specifies the punishment for this in a hadith: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.’” (Sunan Abu Dawud 4462)
But in the West, even gay activists such as Chris Stedman will tell you that to stand against this brutality and oppression is hateful, bigoted and “Islamophobic.”
“US Muslims are actually more accepting of homosexuality than white evangelical Christians,” by Mayer Nissim, Pink News, August 2, 2017:
While much of the narrative around Islam and LGBT rights suggests a deep conflict, new research shows an increasing number of American Muslims are accepting of homosexuality.
Figures from the Pew Research Centre show that, in 2017, 52 per cent of US Muslims believe “homosexuality should be accepted by society”.
This is an increase from 29 per cent in 2011 and just 27 per cent in 2007.
In fact, it seems as though US Muslims are actually more accepting of homosexuality than their white Evangelical Christian counterparts.
In 2016, only 34 per cent of white evangelical Christians believed that homosexuality should be accepted by society
This was an increase from 29 per cent in 2011 and 23 per cent in 2006.
The interplay between Islam, Muslims and LGBT issues has been especially contentious in recent years.
In the UK, ex-Muslim group CEMB caused controversy with its “Allah is gay” and “F**k Islamic Homophobia” signs at Pride in London.
It complained that critics were trying to silence the group.
It also drew parallels between the plight of gay people and those who want to become “ex-Muslim”….

Yea they are so accepting of homosexuals as they are throwing them off the roof.

Their holy book instructs them to rape rob and lie, when in the land of the Kaffir.
Heather says
Good!!! Because this article fails to mention that the Quaran also calls Allah the “great deceiver”. Muslims are permitted to lie if it will further their cause.
For example, the Quran calls Allah a makr, in fact the best makr there is:
But they (the Jews) were deceptive, and Allah was deceptive, for Allah is the best of deceivers (Wamakaroo wamakara Allahu waAllahu khayru al-makireena)! S. 3:54; cf. 8:30
Other texts that identify Allah as a makrinclude:
Are they then secure from Allah’s deception (makra Allahi)? None deemeth himself secure from Allah’s deception (makra Allahi) save folk that perish. S. 7:99
So they schemed a scheme: and We schemed a scheme (Wamakaroo makran wamakarna makran), while they perceived not. S. 27:50

Westman says
After writing that Muslims are accepting of the Gay lifestyle, Mayer Nissim should keep one eye on approaching bearded “asians”. This is a definite slander of Islam that will ruffle some Muslim feathers – if any Muslims actually read it. Copies of “Pink News” are not expected to be lying about at the Mosque.
John A. Marre says
OK. So then, import millions of Muslims and set them up in San Francisco, near the Mission district. After all, if Muslims are so tolerant, then why not?

Thankfully there is a media blackout of any inconvenient facts, like for example, “Truth”
Eventually thousands of gays will encounter islam and this part of the population will be thinned out .
The truth will out
somehistory says
However much homosexuals don’t like it, Christians who express disapproval are in agreement with the Bible. But, although seeing it as something not approved by God, Christians are not throwing any off of the roof, or beating or any other means of causing serious injury or death.
On the other hand, moslums practice and then condemn non-moslums and moslums *discovered* and where the code of islum is at work in the government, hang them, push them off tall buildings, and find other tortuous ways of killing.
moslums may say they are okay with the practice in society, but they are either lying to further islum or they are taking a chance on being discovered.
john spielman says
true because Jesus said “let him who is without sin cast the first stone” unfortunately muslims don’t see themselves as sinners in need of God’s forgiveness by grace, but can daily earn their faux righteousness by killing those who they feel are sinning!( and gain brownie points for allah’s big drunken whore house in the sky! )

But in the minds of the Rainbow Crowd (especially the leftist, activist ones), any disapproval or disagreement with their lifestyle = literal, physical murder.

Yes, and that one rich, outspoken one even calls Christians *wicked,* and says what he and his cohorts will do to us. Just because we disagree with them. Esp those of us in the South.

Islam, a secretion of the Arab brain, has never been an element of civilization, but on the contrary has acted as an extinguisher upon its flickering light.

mortimer says
“Islam was not a torch, as has been claimed, but an extinguisher. Conceived in a barbarous brain for the use of a barbarous people, it was – and it remains – incapable of adapting itself to civilization. Wherever it has dominated, it has broken the impulse towards progress and checked the evolution of society.”

TAQIYYA ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY??? Nah…couldn’t be!!!
A former sheikh Sam Solomon, said that “Taqiyya permeates almost all the activities and dealings of Muslims with non-Muslim societies…”.
Apparently TAQIYYA ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY permeates almost all the COMMENTS of Muslims with non-Muslim societies as well.
Ha, ha, ha. The Muslim strategists must laugh at how easily the American LGTBQs are DUPED … by taqiyya.

As has been mentioned in JW a number of times.
POLLS (ALL OR ALMOST ALL) are flawed.
Several ways and reasons.
1. HOW BIG WAS THE UNIVERSE?
Most polls are only 1,000 to 2,000 people.
2. How do they know the people’s religion?
asking them? How does one know if they are telling the truth?
3. HOW IS THE QUESTION/ ARE QUESTIONS- WORDED?
And, were the questions worded the same for all people.
4. Are/were there responses discarded, because they ( the responses) did not mesh with the views of the person asking the question?
5. What areas of the country ( and when) were the questions asked?
There are other reasons why I do not believe polls.
(A bit off topic but could also explain polls results- see today’s BEST OF THE WEB- about Obama’s appointee to the Consumer Bureau- where a DEM. LIBERAL-IS CRITICAL OF HOW THEY TOOK RANDOM DATA.
NEVER TRUST A POLL.
One last thing- I heard earlier today that 51% of Florida households DID NOT HAVE A LANDLINE telephone anymore. (I include myself in that). (And many people that I know that have one, have it for their fax machine, or to open electrons gates).
If the poll involves calling people with land lines, that also skewers the results.
somehistory says
I recall an ad from some years ago. It was supposedly a poll of how many people liked beef.
It went like this. “9 out of 10 people prefer beef: “beef,” “beef,” “beef,” “beef,” “beef,” “beef,” “beef,” “beef,””chicken liver,” “beef.” Afterward, someone shouted, “chicken liver?”
The ad people didn’t say whether other products or those not eating any kind of meat were included because they had a goal…get people to eat beef.
Poll takers have goals. The land-line phone thing is to get people to have phones via computer and pay a fee once a year.

Voytek Gagalka says
They also support same-sex marriage for this reason which apply ONLY to kuffar (non-believers): they know that this over the long haul will morally undermine the western society; homosexuals do not multiply by procreation! Hence more Muslims and less “westerners” in future society (jihad by demographics).
Tabitha Korol says
Same sex marriage is supported here because the globalists want fewer people… by not marrying properly and having children, they’ll weed themselves out of the gene pool.
It’s a strategy… and it looks like they’re working hard at mixing people up so that they won’t even know who they’re supposed to marry. The Left is very dangerous.

i’ve read enough to realize that they are accepting of homosexuality but won’t admit it. let’s face it, the young men and women aren’t allowed to talk to each other, let alone date and get to know the opposite sex. By the time they reach late teen years, the boys hate the girls, and the girls fear the boys. Marriages are arranged, without regard to compatibility, love, age differences. The sex drive brings boys to have rape small children (boys too) or have sex with other humiliated men. Girls are sewn almost closed, with the FGM, so the boys can’t even rape the girls…they have to take out their sexual feelings on other boys or men, or the infidel girls and women when they go to other countries in conquest. If you want to read an interesting, well written book, about this unusual, evil people, read “Cruel and Usual Punishment,”: by Nonie Darwish, the daughter of a shahid.

Claim: US Muslims more accepting of homosexuality than white evangelical Christians
…………………………
Well, that’s true! After all, white evangelical Christians are regularly throwing gay people off roofs and mass slaughtering people at gay nightclubs…oh, wait…no, they’re not…
Guest says
Also: ‘evangelical’ means just a small percentage of all Christians. So: 48 per cent of all kinds of US Muslims do not tolerate homosexuality. That’s including ‘moderates’ and ‘cultural Muslims’ who barely know the koran.
But most Christians these days tolerate homosexuality, with only 66% of the more extreme ones, so called ‘evangelical’ ones, not tolerating it.
gravenimage says
Also true, Guest. But I’m sure people will read this as “Christian”, which is misleading.
HugoHackenbush says
The survey was biased in terms of the framing of the question so as to produce the desired result.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
It’s not the level of acceptance that matters but rather what is done when there is an absence of acceptance.
The Evangelicals prays for the soul of the homosexual and the devout Mohammadin sends him/her to their judgement.

“… Many Islamic groups in the West support same-sex marriage solely for tactical reasons: they know it will open the door to the legalization of polygamy. ..”
Those groups are exceedingly sly and know how to take the wide eyed dreamy ‘progressives’ for a ride. Once Islamists take power however they strangle their ‘temporary political allies’ just as other totalitarian actors have done in the past. The Iranian Communist Party for instance were put through the grinder very shortly after Khomeini consolidated his grip on power.

Verity Pink says
The question that the poll does not seem to have asked is “Do you see yourself as part of Western society?” If a member of a minority group is being asked what s/he thinks “society” should do, then we need to know whether the respondent identifies with society, or thinks that it would be good for their particular group, which they may position conceptually as being over against society, if “society” took up a specific position.
moeped says
I wouldn’t be surprised if this is true, but don’t forget that White Evangelical Christians aren’t evil. They don’t go around killing men, women and children. Christian ideology forbids this, whereas islamic ideology promotes it as an act of worship.
Linnte says
It’s one thing to “not accept” homosexuality because the sriptures say God doesn’t accept it, but it becomes a whole new ball of wax when killing them is the answer.

@ Linnte
“It’s one thing to “not accept” homosexuality because the sriptures say God doesn’t accept it, but it becomes a whole new ball of wax when killing them is the answer.”
Absolutely right. But part of the problem is that leftists these days consider disagreement as equal to violence/murder! Except when it’s Muslims committing the violence/murder. Then they ignore it.
I hate juvenile internet slogans, but “Liberalism is a mental disorder” really is quite accurate.

The myth-spinners are at it again. Vilification of Christianity, Evangelical or otherwise, while spinning outlandish lies regarding Islam’s acceptance of homosexuality. This fabricated assumption is typical of Islam apologists, the appeasers of this nihilistic cult. A cult for which there is no acceptance of diversity whether it is sexual, political or spiritual.
Once again, the Gay community prefers to stick its head in its favourite orifice to retain denial of this cult’s revulsion, murderous intent and actions against Gays. One must ask, when and where did Evangelical Christians toss a Gay off a roof top or decapitate someone for their sexual preference? One must ask, is this publication, ‘Pink News’ suffering from psychopathy? The latter is purely a rhetorical question. Beguiled by their myth-spinning these deluded leftist progressives Gay or otherwise, if Islam achieves Islamic Caliphate, they will be the first to be led to the abattoir, likely without a bleat.
Santa Voorhees says
Also, notice how they used the word “white”, as if being white has something to do with being christian.
A person can be christian, muslim, jewish, hindu etc, regardless of the skin color.
And yet leftists like to treat “white” as being the opposite of muslim. This nonsense needs to stop.
I think they’ve put the word “white” to put us in bad light. No surprise there, they always do!
