This PC thing has gotten ridiculous. I had a "Preventing Sexual Harassment" training today that had a little questionnaire at the beginning. One of the questions was "Sometimes the clothes a person wears invites Sexual Harrassment, T/F" When discussing it an older woman says "Well the PC answer is no, but, the real answer is yes."

It should come as no surprise she had the most trouble in her workplace of dealing with S.H. in her work place of the 30 people there.

Be Alert, the LGBT Virus Threatens the Ummah!

Recently, LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) issues are resurfacing. Few months ago the community was stirred by same-gender marriages in Bali that was done like a party. After that similar celebrations of same-gender marriages in Boyolali, Central Java. Most recently, this issue reared again after the appearance of counseling institution Support Group and Resource Center on Sexuality Studies (SGRC) at University of Indonesia (UI). Regarding the institution, the Minister of Research, Technology and Higher Education Mohamad Nasir said that LGBT groups must not enter campuses.

That statement received protest from pro-LGBT groups. As a response, through his twitter @mensristekdikti, Monday (25 Jan 2016), Nasir said "That doesn't mean I forbid all activities related to LGBT. Being lesbian or gay is an individual's right. As long as it doesn't disturb academic conduciveness."

LGBT Virus Invasion
From the start of 2000s, the LGBT virus began invading this country. The invasion here is done academically, politically and socially. Academically, LGBT ideas hide behind the excuse of academic examination. Plenty of LGBT organisations move from or in campuses and uttered LGBT ideas through writing. Politically they have done political movements: their activities in Bundaran Hotel Indonesia, trying to affect various policies and working together with various institutions, especially human right organizations. Socially, LGBT propaganda is spread through various means and mediums. Advocates and consultations from AIDS information organizations, film, field actions, culture, mass media, etc. The aim is to propagate LGBT ideas and change public attitude to be more tolerant and accepting of LGBT behaviours. One of them is the idea that LGBT is just an expression of sexual and gender from our genes.

Not Natural
LGBT is not scientifically proven to be from genetic factors. The gene coded "Xq28", that had been for a while now been claimed as the gene that brings about the homosexual phenotype, had been disproven as the source of homosexual attitudes.

In 1999, Professor George Rice from University of Western Ontario, Canada, along with his team did research on this. The results reveal no relation between Xq28 gene and male homosexuality. Research had also been done by Professor Alan Sanders from University of Chicago, in 1998-1998. The results also didn't support the genetic origins for homosexuality. Ruth Hubbard, an administrator from "The Council for Responsible Genetics" stated, "the search for a gay gene is not a beneficial one. I don't think there is one single gene that orders the incredibly complex human behaviours."

So, LGBT behaviours are not natural, not from your ancestors. LGBT behaviours are not something that can be "forced upon" so that it can't be rejected.

The Excuse of Freedom and Human Rights
The spreading of LGBT behaviours and ideas uses the excuse of freedom and human rights. LGBT is justified with the idea of moral and truth relativity. Essentially, there is not one single truth that applies to everyone. Truth is complex, depending on individuals, cultures, and certain social contexts. Everybody must be tolerant with how others determine what's right or wrong. As such, according to this idea LGBT behaviours must not be seen as deviant, immoral and abnormal. According to this idea, LGBT is just one of the various sexual orientations just like the various tribes, religions, races and cultures in the community. LGBT behaviours are humanized with the excuse that it harms nobody. What's important is that sexual behaviours are safe, comfortable and responsible. The community then is demanded to be tolerant to the deviant LGBT acts.

Other than that everyone is free to express themselves and that is a part of human rights. From the perspective of freedom and human rights, LGBT people are just expressing the sexual orientation and gender identity that they have chosen as part of their rights. With this excuse, objections towards LGBT matters become human right violations.

The View of Islam
This idea of freedom and human rights that form the base for justifying deviant sex acts including LGBT, is an idea that conflicted and went against Islam. In Islam, humans aren’t completely free. His views and behaviours must be connected with Islamic law. A Muslim are not free to think and act as he likes according to his desires. Allah SWT said:
Whatever the Rasool gives you, take it and from whatever he forbids you, refrain from it. (Koran 59:7)

As such in Islam the country had the responsibility to build and fertilize faith and piety in its citizens. With that piety then the ideas and behaviours that broke Islamic laws, including LGBT, can be prevented and minimized from the populace.

Allah explains that the aim of creating men and women is to ensure the continuation of the human race with all its dignity (Koran 4:1). That’s why the only sexual relationships that are permitted in Islam are those within the bonds of legitimate marriage. Every other sexual acts outside marriage is illegal and deviant. Lesbian, homosexual, anal sex, adultery, are all deviant sexual acts; they cannot be seen as something normal. All of those is a threat for the existence of the human community with all its dignities.

There is also a hadith that specifically explains that homosexuality is an accursed behaviour. Rasulullah said

quote:

Accursed are those who did what those from the clan of Lot did (homosexuality) (At-Tirmidzi and Ahmad from Ibn Abbas)

Transgender behaviours is also scorned upon in Islam. Ibn Abbas said:

quote:

Rasulullah curses women that resembles men and men that resembles women (Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidzi, Ibn Majah and Ahmad).

That is why in Islam, LGBT is clearly astray and abnormal. LGBT ideas are haram. LGBT acts are sinful acts. Thus LGBT ideas must not be spread within the community. Whoever spreads, supports and justifies LGBT ideas has clearly sinned and deserved punishment as per Islamic law. In Islam, a country must clean and keep the populace away from LGBT ideas.

Islam judged homosexuality as a sin and a big evil. Islam established heavy legal punishments for the performers. Whoever did the deeds of the Messenger Lot’s clan and was proven with legal evidence, then the performer and his pair must be put to death, of course as long as it is done voluntarily, not with force. Ibnu Abbas says, Rasulullah dictated:

quote:

Whomever you have found did the deeds of Lot’s clan, kill the subjects and objects. (Abu Dawud, at-Tirmidzi, Ibnu Majah and Ahmad).

Dear Ummah:
With that Islamic provision, the community can be kept as humans, separate from animals. The community can also be kept away from various dangerous ideas and activities including LGBT. That will all be perfectly materialized if Islamic Sharia is applied totally and exhaustively. That is the importance of establishing Khilafah Rasyidah ’ala minhaj an-nubuwwah as a system from Islam to apply all Islamic laws. Because of that, acting and applying Sharia totally and exhaustively under Khilafah Rasyidah ’ala minhaj an-nubuwwah system must be the vital and main agenda for the Ummah. All elements of the Ummah must work hard to establish as soon as possible the Khilafah Rasyidah ’ala minhaj an-nubuwwah.

”Al-Islam Commentary” posted:

MUI (Indonesian Ulama Council) released an official statement regarding Gerakan Fajar Nusantara (Gafatar) (Archipelago Dawn Movement). That organisation had mixed religious teachings. “They combined three religions. There’s a book,” said the Chief of MUI Assesment and Research Comission, Utang Ranuwijaya in the official statement. He also stated that the followers of Gafatar believed the existence of a prophet after Prophet Muhammad. This prophetic figure that was considered to receive messages from God is Ahmad Musadeq.

• Those are misguided teachings, according to MUI’s 10 Criteria.
  
• The rise of misguided teachings in this country is because of secularism, freedom and human rights. It’s time to abandon all of those.
  
• Apply sharia under the system of Khilafah Rasyidah ‘ala minhaj an-nubuwwah, undoubtedly Islam and its ummah will be protected from these misguided schools of belief.

"Throughout the rest of Hellas the custom on the part of those who claim to educate their sons in the best way is as follows. As soon as the children are of an age to understand what is said to them they are immediately placed under the charge of Paidagogoi, who are also attendants, and sent off to the school of some teacher to be taught "grammar," "music," and the concerns of the palestra. Besides this they are given shoes to wear which tend to make their feet tender, and their bodies are enervated by various changes of clothing. And as for food, the only measure recognised is that which is fixed by appetite.

But when we turn to Lycurgus, instead of leaving it to each member of the state privately to appoint a slave to be his son's tutor, he set over the young Spartans a public guardian, the Paidonomos to give them his proper title, with complete authority over them. This guardian was selected from those who filled the highest magistracies. He had authority to hold musters of the boys, and as their overseer, in case of any misbehaviour, to chastise severely. The legislator further provided his pastor with a body of youths in the prime of life, and bearing whips, to inflict punishment when necessary, with this happy result that in Sparta modesty and obedience ever go hand in hand, nor is there lack of either." - Xenophon, The Polity of the Lacedaemonians

Tl;dr version: Those loving pansies wear shoes.

You could try asking "so should we bar admission to any Christian immigrant who refuses to pledge that they'll honor the Constitution over the Bible?"

But it's a pretty good guess they'd just rebut that the Bible and Constitution are somehow totally in-synch, and incapable of causing conflicting allegiances.
