What poison did you use OP ? <| sep |> It ' s time for me to give a special live concert ! Although , I ' m already dead , YOHOHOHOHO <| sep |> If you want to read a reasonably balanced view of homosexuality in Islam I ' ve just read soem of s h a r i a h h o m o s e x u a l i t y s a f e g u a r d i n g e a c h o thersrightsinapluralistso and it seems pretty good to me . Basically , Islam is admittedly homophobic and all schools of thought agree sodomy should be illegal not homosexual feelings themselves . But no one agrees on the punishment , and the ones that do say hudood punishments are required death penalty agree that the typical hudood requirements must be met 4 male witnesses to penetration or a confession . And as for women ' s rights , Islam is far more sexist but in a correctly applied way should provide women with many rights and protections . For exampleA woman cannot refuse her husband ' s sexual advancesThis is wrong . A wife can refuse sexual advances whenever she feels like it . But she can not indefinitely refuse them for a long time , as being a wife and a husband requires providing sexual relief and gratification . And by refusing sex for a long time you are breaking your oath as a spouse . Unfortunately , Islamic countries are very male dominated , meaning the already sexist rules are interpreted in a even more sexist manner . Sexist men who see women as commodities , see the ruling about women not denying sexual advances and interpret it that women can never deny them as it suites them best . Women are forbidden from walking in public without their husbandThis is again wrong . It would be crazy to run a society where women can ' t leave the house without their husband . Even in a sexist society , like many islamic ones , how are women supposed to shop , take the kids to school and maintain the house if they can ' t go anywhere while their husband is in work ? They could get chaperones but only stupidly rich nations like the Saudi ' s could really afford that . And Saudi Arabia is the beacon of how not to apply shariah . Most of the islamic world is in agreement with that . Women can be denied leaving the house for their own safety and for a good reason . But again that ' s a law that is ripe to be taken advantage of by women who want to .
