My latest in PJ Media:
Over the years many people have asked me why Leftists so love Islam as to turn a blind eye to the global jihad, despite the complete opposition of their moral perspectives. The short answer is that the enemy of my enemy is my friend: the Left, avid to destroy America, saw a group that has been trying to destroy the free world for 1,400 years and saw an ally. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t any cracks in the edifice. In an attempt Thursday to shore up the Leftist/Islamic alliance, a self-described “Muslim drag queen” named Amrou Al-Kadhi, also known as “Glamrou,” has published an article in Vice magazine entitled “why islam is inherently queer” (yes, all lower case; are capital letters homophobic?). It’s a dogged exercise in ignoring the obvious.
“Glamrou” starts off by implying that Muhammad himself would have been sympathetic to his behavior: “Prophet Muhammed once said, ‘Islam began as something strange and will return to being something strange, so give blessings to those who are strange.’ Amen Muhammed! ” He might also have noted that Muhammad is depicted in a hadith as having said: “The revelation does not come to me when I am in the garment of any woman except Aisha” (Sahih Bukhari 54.7.2442). Was Muhammad himself the first “Muslim drag queen”? Imagine the paroxysms of joy this would inspire in the Vice magazine offices!
Their enthusiasm might end up being dampened, however, by the fact that despite the fact that the hadith collection Muslims consider to be the most reliable (Sahih Bukhari) quotes Muhammad talking about prancing around in the clothes of his child bride Aisha, the prophet of Islam is also depicted as saying this: “Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Lot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done’” (Sunan Abu Dawud 4462).
Unfortunately for Glamrou and Vice, 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).
It is no surprise that Amrou Al-Kadhi doesn’t mention any of that in his Vice magazine piece. It doesn’t fit his narrative. But unfortunately for him, many of his coreligionists are well aware of these passages and others like them. The ones who are unaware of them and their implications are gay rights activists in the West. Case in point: back in 2013, when Pamela Geller’s American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), of which I am vice president, ran ads on buses in San Francisco highlighting the mistreatment of gays in Islamic law, gay advocates in San Francisco and elsewhere condemned not that mistreatment, but our ads.
Theresa Sparks, a transgender who was the chief of San Francisco’s Human Rights Commission, declared that Geller was “posting these ads to suggest that all Muslims hate gays. Some cultures do discriminate, and that’s wrong. It all depends who you’re talking to. But she’s trying to generalize and cast this wide net around a diverse group of people.”
The ads actually consisted simply of quotes from Muslim leaders regarding Islam’s death penalty for homosexuality, including Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most influential Sunni cleric in the world, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, former president of the foremost Shi’ite entity in the world, the Islamic Republic of Iran. The ads neither stated nor suggested that “all Muslims hate gays.” Sparks was not reported as saying anything about the anti-gay statements of the Muslim leaders quoted in the ads.
Instead, Chris Stedman, a proclaimed atheist who is assistant humanist chaplain at Harvard, published an article at Salon entitled “Stop trying to split gays and Muslims,” also attacking our ads. Noting with indignation the AFDI’s “series of anti-Muslim advertisements in San Francisco quoting Muslim individuals making anti-LGBT statements,” Stedman declared his “appreciation that the LGBT community in San Francisco is standing up against her efforts to drive a wedge between LGBT folks and Muslims.”
As far as Stedman was concerned, the real problem was those who called attention to the plight of gays under Islamic law, not the actual mistreatment of gays under Islamic law.
There is much more. Read the rest here.
Angemon says
Leftist logic: “You’re criticizing islam? OMG, you think ALL muslims are terrorists!!!!!!!!! How dare you treat a specific group as a monolith where everyone thinks and acts the same? Also, old white people are racists, white male are rapist misogynists and all whites have white privilege”.
gravenimage says
Yep.
mortimer says
Maybe we are all reading this clown wrong. Perhaps this is his sense of ironic humor. In that case, the joke is on us… we didn’t perceive it was his punchline.
As for the Marxist Chris Stedman who says ‘Stop trying to split Muslims from gays’ … he’s the joke. Muslims have been splitting gays’ souls from their bodies for 1400 years.
STEDMAN, YOU are the JOKE.
Maura Labingi says
“Marxist Chris Stedman who says ‘Stop trying to split Muslims from gays’ … ”
As a variation on the old joke, the irony is that the easiest way to split Muslim men from gays is with a crowbar.
One of the outcomes of sex-segregated Muslim Society is that situational homosexuality amongst men and amongst women is the default before marriage and often after marriage. Islamic Society is a Prison Society and as in prison, even heterosexual people often have to find love and sexual outlet where they can, with members of their own sex.
Islam with its stress upon the carnal appetites and its segregation of the sexes results in same-sex sexual relationships becoming the only ones easily available, so Islam compels Muslims to be ‘gay’ in a deeply pathological way.
gravenimage says
What Islam really hates are consensual same sex relationships. But pedophilia and homosexual rape are rife in Dar-al-Islam.
Fred Dawes says
You forgot any white girls/woman not having sex with Black/Brown or Yellow guys must be racists.
Maura Labingi says
You forgot that any heterosexual male who doesn’t find transwomen attractive is ‘transphobic’.
The Left and Muslims share similar totalitarian outlooks. The Left think they can use Islam and Muslims to achieve worldwide control. The outcome of that alliance is most likely to have the exact opposite result.
Halal Bacon says
that’s what the bacha bazi players say
Bob Builder says
It’s well known ISIS members often mate with both male and female combatants to “impose” domination over them.
In Iraq old men often choose young males over there own wifes..
So I might believe this defect is infact acceptable in the Quran.

REALITY CHECK FROM SHARIA for self-declared QUEERS :
Here’s what Sharia law actually says about punishing homosexuals:
– flogging, stoning, thrown from a high place, wall pushed over to crush, burned to death
Homosexuality is not only a sin, but a crime under Islamic law.
– Islam Question and Answer says: “The crime of homosexuality is one of the greatest of crimes, the worst of sins and the most abhorrent of deeds, and Allaah punished those who did it in a way that He did not punish other nations. It is indicative of violation of the fitrah, total misguidance, weak intellect and lack of religious commitment, and it is a sign of doom and deprivation of the mercy of Allaah.”
– In the Hanafi school of thought, the homosexual is first punished through harsh beating, and if he/she repeats the act, the death penalty is to be applied.
– In the Shafi`i school of thought, the homosexual receives the same punishment as adultery (if he/she is married) or fornication (if not married). This means, that if the homosexual is married, he/she is stoned to death, while if single, he/she is whipped 100 times. Hence, the Shafi`i compares the punishment applied in the case of homosexuality with that of adultery and fornication.
– In the Hanafi school, the two acts are differentiated, because anal sex [something that is prohibited, regardless of orientation] may also be involved, while in adultery [and fornication], the penis/vagina (which are reproductive parts) are involved.
– Some scholars hold the opinion that homosexuals should be thrown from a high building or stoned to death as a punishment for their crime, but other scholars maintain that they should be imprisoned until death occurs through starvation.
-Some of them (Islamic jurists) said that he should be punished in the same way as an adulterer, so he should be stoned if he is married and flogged if he is not married.
-Another view is that between two males, the active partner is to be lashed a hundred times if he is unmarried, and killed if he is married; whereas the passive partner is to be killed regardless of his marital status.
-Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Abbaas said: The highest point in the town should be found and the homosexual should be thrown head first from it, then stones should be thrown at him.
Ibn ‘Abbaas derived this hadd punishment from the punishment that Allaah sent upon the homosexuals of the people of Loot.
– It is narrated from Khaalid ibn al-Waleed that he found a man among one of the Arab tribes with whom men would have intercourse as with a woman. He wrote to (caliph) Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq (may Allaah be pleased with him) and Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq consulted the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them).
‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib had the strongest opinion of all of them, and he said: “No one did that but one of the nations, and you know what Allaah did to them. I think that he should be burned with fire.” So Abu Bakr wrote to Khaalid and he had him burned.

Muslim Drag Queen in Vice Mag: Islam Is ‘Inherently Queer’
………………
Let’s see “Glamrou” try this anywhere in Dar-al-Islam.
As for that Hadith, far from being an assertion that Islam embraces the strange and far out, it means that a time will come when most Muslims are not real Muslims, and can be murdered just like Infidels. In fact, “Glamrou” would surely be considered one of these.
Battle says
Angemon hits nail on head. Good.

Muslim drag queen is an oxymoron

Don’t try that title in Riyadh or Tehran or Pakistan.

Why not? We shall all be much more knowledgeable afterwards

“….Muslim drag queen is an oxymoron…”
—————————————————-
Why is it ? muslims have as much right to be drag queens as anybody else – (in a free society obviously – not under islam). You might mean “Islamist/Jihadist drag queen is an oxymoron” but actually, when you stop and think about, the vanity, the posturing, the immature narcissism, infantile obsession with sex, determination to push their way of life onto people who want nothing to do with it etc etc have quite a lot in common.
I wonder if our old mate Itace Muhammed of the maggot-infestation obsession is a drag queen ? That could explain the hysteria he exhibits – he’s certainly never denied it that I can recall…..
Trick_or_Treat says
Ha, ha! If this silly prick wants to go to someplace like Iran, or Pakistan, or Saudi Arabia, etc, dressed and made up like THAT, then ‘he’ [it?] would very quickly find out that islam is ”inherently’ homicidally intolerant and non-inclusive of people like ‘him’ !
Could you imagine him turning up at Mecca to perform haj (to walk round and round and round their beloved little black ***in’ stone) looking like THAT? ??
While Christianity itself is not tolerant or inclusive of behavior such as this [mind you, with this Apostate heretic now at the helm of the Roman Catholic Cult, this is now changing about] we are doctrinally intolerant and non inclusive of the sin and not the sinner – wishing and admonishing sinners to repent a turn around from their sinful behavior towards salvation. I think this poor dude would probably find that, on arrival at someplace like Tehran, he wouldn’t even make it out of the airport terminal before he found himself being conveyed to a suitably ‘high place’.

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas….that the Prophet ..cursed men who imitate women and women who imitate men, and he said: “Throw them out of your houses.” Bukhaari (5885).
The Messenger of Allaah cursed the man who wears women’s clothing and the woman who wears men’s clothing. Abu Dawood (4098)
..it is haraam for men to imitate women and vice versa, because if it is haraam with regard to clothing then imitating them in one’s movements and tone of voice is even more abhorrent. So it is haraam for men to imitate women and vice versa with regard to clothing that is unique to one sex, and the one who does that is subject to the threat of being cursed.

FYI says
“the messenger of allah cursed the man who wears women’s clothing”{Abu dawud 4098}
And yet we see from sahih bukhari 54;7:2442 that muhammed liked to wear Aisha’s dress whilst channeling his Arab god “allah” in that cave with conveniently no witnesses.
Which makes muhammed a hypocrite:But listen,we don’t want to insult muhammed do we or be called “islamophobic” so I absolutely refuse to mention Abu Dawud 40:4731
[“When Ubaydullah saw him he said ‘this muhammed of yours is FAT and a DWARF”}as It might spoil the image some muslims have of muhammed being the Perfect Man.
muhammed: a fat,cross-dressing dwarf with a magical FLYING HORSE
Where oh where would anybody begin to draw an accurate depiction of muhammed:no wonder muslims don’t like cartoons.
