    Imam al makhanith. Unbelievable. The outdated ideology you talking about is Islamic teachings. Your are not allowed to Fornicate, and you think using your popo exist with another man is permissible? This is beyond disgusting

    We all have our struggles we’re all tested one way or another. I know dat cuz wat I’ve been tested with is my drive for sex. I was raped as a child continuously, making me crave for it more than the average 5 yr old the older I got the worse it became I began watching porn at around seven I would masturbate around 5 times sometimes 7 times a day. I had no self control only lust it’s wat I could remember from my younger days, coming from a Muslim home this somewhat broke me angered and annoyed me some way or another I tried fighting it. I tried fighting 13 years of what I am. Am not the type to like type a lot of words so I’ll summaries the bit. it was hard very hard I wondered why ALLAH had allowed me to be raped as a child why would he do this to me is he not aware of this? It was my excuse for sexual gratification for exploitation but even with all that deep within it felt wrong which confused me because I thought I was condemned but I didn’t like it. it wasn’t me even tho I felt it was Altho dis is still somewat me I’ve regained some semblance of control in my life my faith in GOD is stronger Dan b4 and it’s growing a lot. I don’t judge ALLAH for the test he puts me through Altho I don’t understand it I can’t say am mad or conflicted about it. Putting it simply it just happened kinda like how war happens I just had to live and maneuver my way trying to stick to the LAWS. Am not imposing my ideals on the gay muslims but if Ders one thing I know for sure is we’re somewat tested with some form of unacceptable sin, whether it’s our primal desires or so we all have it like dat if your struggling with your identity, frankly speaking it’s understandable in its own way(not really for me but u do u) wat helped me fight my own sexual identity was my luv for ALlAH and just being righteous. u simply accepting your gay feels like u aren’t even seeing it as your test, instead it’s like a question being if ALLAH is so great why did u make me like dis type shi. U obviously didn’t accept it at first but someway along the line you were lost and I simply know u just didn’t wanna try anymore not d type of stuff a real Muslim would do.

    So you are making haram, halal then you aren't a Mulsim any more. As someone that had been plagued with these thoughts and came to Islam and found peace in what I was doing wasnt good for me.

    Just now I watched this clip and listened to what they said and I directly remembered the words of Satan in QURAN 15-39 .. He said “My Lord, since You have lured me away, I will glamorize for them on earth, and I will lure them all away.” So do you now know the source of your words?

    Having gay thoughts isn’t haram. Acting n them is and it certainly shouldn’t be preached as a practice. It doesn’t take you out of the fold of Islam but it’s sinful and we don’t encourage or promote sin.

    GAy imam is not a term. It is not defined. Islam doesn't support homosexuality. So he can either be imam or gay, not both

Xbox CEO on the “crisis” facing gaming hardware | BBC News

Published

on



Xbox chief executive Asha Sharma says the gaming giant needs to be “thinking about” affordability for its next-generation console, amid a “crisis” in computing prices.

Speaking exclusively to the BBC’s Laura Cress at Gamescom in Cologne, she said rising hardware costs partly driven by AI spending mean firms need to find ways to make gaming affordable.

She also revealed gamers will soon be able to get digital versions of many of the physical games they currently own, potentially meaning their old games can be played on future Xbox consoles without having to put a disc in a drive.

Charlie Kirk case prosecutors can seek death penalty, says judge | BBC News

Published

on



A 23-year-old Utah man has pleaded not guilty to the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk – as a judge ruled prosecutors can seek the death penalty at trial.

Tyler Robinson denies aggravated murder, a capital offence in Utah, and six other charges in connection with the shooting of Kirk at a campus event on 10 September 2025.

Defence lawyers had tried to have the death penalty taken off the table, but prosecutors argued that aggravating factors, such as firing into a crowd in the presence of children, warranted a capital trial.

Turning Point USA co-founder Kirk, 31, was shot in the neck while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem.
