Amazing Bharatanatyam West Bengal to Waste Bengal Apathetic Politician The S philosophy of vyaSa

A leading Islamic seminary on Monday opposed Centre's move to repeal a controversial section of the penal law which criminalises homosexuality saying unnatural sex is against the tenets of Islam.

"Homosexuality is offence under Shariat Law and haram (prohibited) in Islam," Deputy Vice Chancellor of the Darul Uloom Deoband Maulana Abdul Khalik Madrasi said.

Madrasi also asked the Government not to repeal section 377 of IPC which criminalises homosexuality.

His objection came a day after Union Law Minister Veerappa Moily said a decision on repealing the section would be taken only after considering concerns of all sections of the society, including religious groups like the church.

Terming gay activities as crime, Maulana Salim Kasmi, Vice-President of the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), said homosexuality is punishable under Islamic law and section 377 of IPC should not be tampered.

Maulana Mohd Sufiyan Kasmi, an AIMPLB member, and Mufti Zulfikar, President of Uttar Pradesh Imam Organisation have also expressed similar views on the issue.

Kasmi said it would be harmful for the society to legalise gay sex.

Buoyed by the news that the Centre is considering repealing the controversial section of the IPC, members of the gay community yesterday held parades in several cities.

gay sexBy: sahil | 17-Oct-2009 Reply | Forward It is now clear that Mr Moily put his tail between his legs after the Church and the muslim clergy disapproved proposed abolition of Sec 377 of IPC. When it is known that congress -led govts won't do anything to ruffle the vote banks of minority , however right may be the move, why this so called seasoned congress man ventured to open the pandora's box of gay rights?

Ask Darul Uloom Deoband to run the countryBy: Indian | 30-Jun-2009 Reply | Forward Ask Darul Uloom Deoband to run the country. Democracy and respect for others is never their concern. Its always what they want others to follow. The taliban mindset.

No to gaysBy: Daljit | 30-Jun-2009 Reply | Forward All religious leaders in India should oppose this. It is unnatural and should be opposed by all the right thinking people of India. no body should support Gay rights. it is another garbage copied from the west. don't let down the values of society. There should be national awareness about this disease.
