We condemn homosexuality as a major sin. In fact, the Yasir Qadhi quote on this is wrong and misleading too because he said: "This question should be irrelevant to this discussion because Islam doesn't allow the killing of anyone even if you disagree with them. Our position should be that Islam has a specific moral and ethical code and opinion, but this does not preclude others from the legal and political right to practice as they please."

This is wrong and misleading because:

a) He said Islam doesn't allow killing such people when the shariah punishment is the death penalty (yes I know we can't implement the penalty as vigilantes cos' we aren't under Islamic rule- but to deliberately ignore the Islamic penalty altogether gives the wrong impression, is trying to pull the wool over peoples eyes about the true Islamic view on the matter)

b) He said Islam has a moral and ethical code and opinion and then goes on to say that this doesn't preclude the homos "legal and political right" to practise what they please. Islam is legal and political. Islamic political and legal rules not only forbid this but punish this so he's trying to mislead the ummah in order to please the kufaar. Not only does Islam carry a legal and political set of laws that we are under obligation to restore the implementation of, but Yasir also then tries to imply that the "legal and political rights" under kufr law are reason enough for their laws to be obeyed even though that law is in direct opposition to what Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saw) commanded. Whatever happened to that old chestnut the scholars for dollars used to say "we have to obey the law of the land as long as it doesn't contradict Islam"? Now they're advising to still obey the law of the land knowing full well it's opposition to what Allah (swt) ordered.

c) He said we need to "live and let live so neither imposes their lifestyle on the other", but the kufaar ARE imposing their lifestyle on us! They have already imposed their laws, they have already uprooted the Islamic system of governance we had last century, they have already placed our lands such as Iraq and Palestine under occupation of the kufaar and her agents, jailing and torturing those who call for the implementations of Islam... now in the US they are imposing this promotion of acceptance of homosexual rights upon us, to the point that if your home is a B&B, you have no legal right to refuse to let homo couples stay there and if you're a baker, you have no legal right to refuse to bake a wedding cake for their gay marriage. Isn't that IMPOSING the promotion of their beliefs over and above our own?

There's so much more I can say on this, a whole book can be written on just how much that one quote is attempting to "defend" the Muslim view but in fact under the surface is just as responsible for pushing the anti Islam, secular agenda
