I was shocked that such reports have been passed by the censors to be in the press in this country. I can only imagine what the realties are... ***************************************** Officials lambast capital’s gay party youth By Adel Arafah khaleejtimes.com 25 November 2005 ABU DHABI — Senior officials have condemned the queer acts practised by 26 youth at a gay party held in a hotel in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday night. A group of 26 men, many of whom were dressed in female outfits and the rest in Arab attire, were arrested by the police on Wednesday following a tip-off that such a party was being held. Speaking to Khaleej Times, experts, educationists and men of law have called on parents to play their role and give importance to the role of schools and national associations in inculcating the teachings of Islam and intrinsic social values in the minds of the youth to help them spend their leisure time purposefully. Mohammed bin Nukhaira Al Dhahiri, Minister of Justice, Islamic Affairs and Auqaf (Endowments), advised parents to follow the teachings of Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) that you are all responsible for your subjects. (The man is responsible in his house, for his wife and children). Therefore, he said, parents should play a major role in upbringing their children according to the teachings and tenets of Islam, and Arab and Islamic traditions. “Had parents ingrained these values and noble teachings and manners in the minds of their children, they would not have deviated and behaved in the strange ways that are rejected by mankind, and discarded by all human beings, irrespective of their religion or creed, race or nationality,” he said. “The ministry spared no effort in preaching Islamic teachings, while calling upon youth to follow the virtuous and abandon vice,” he said. Preachers at Friday sermons and Muslim scholars at mosques always preach and guide citizens of the country to do what is good and avoid what is prohibited. The ministry, he said, would continue its efforts in safeguarding the present and the new generations from being spoilt by the enemies of humanity and religion who are spewing venom through their acts, which are abhorrent to God and unacceptable in all societies. Al Dhahiri urged the youth to spend their leisure time in purposeful activities. “The path of corruption added to the loss of the soul destroys the present and future of the youth, for whom the government spares no effort in creating a bright future on the basis of the fact that they are the pillars of the future, and the nation has pinned high hopes on them,” the minister said. “There will be no room for homosexual and queer acts in the UAE. Our society does not accept queer behaviour, either in word or in action,” he angrily stated. “Our society, God willing, is safe from every evil, as the good earth always produces well,” he added. “The deviation of the youth who took on the role of women is a kind of blind aping and imitation of queer, abnormal groups, whose aim is to destroy all values and public manners and practice all kinds of vices,” said Dr Mohammed Twheel, a professor at the UAE University. Those deviated people have disobeyed Allah the Almighty, he said, and described them as disciples of Satan as they do what the devil orders them to. He said they did so because they are not God-fearing and find lust and enjoyment in disobeying God in the belief that they do something special and attract others to themselves. He called on society to protect the youth from blindly imitating Western values by letting fathers befriend their sons to find out what they are doing, thus saving them before they dive into sins. Universities, schools and social organisations should also play their role effectively by protecting the youngsters, and making them spend their leisure time purposefully. Dr Twheel called for the interaction of all segments of society to focus greater attention on the issue of the homosexuality. “All resources should be mobilised to nip this evil in the bud,” he said. “The minority who practices homosexuality should return to their senses before this danger aggravates and spreads among our youth,” he warned. Lieutenant Colonel Najm Abdullah Sayyar from the Social Support Department of the Abu Dhabi Police Directorate, said the Ministry of Interior was playing an important role in preventing such alien phenomenon from corrupting UAE society. He paid a tribute to Interior Minister Lieutenant General Shaikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan for attaching great attention to youth and importance to social problems. In achieving that objective, he said, he had issued instructions to set up a special social police department. “The department is designed to safeguard society from alien cultures, crimes and strange acts,” he noted. |

| I think there is nothing wrong in exposing the evil's of the western culture that has crept in our muslim communities. The scurge should not be swept under the carpet and keeping quiet about the realities facing our upcoming youth and the problems parents is and would be facing. It is better to speak the truth... |

| This shows that the regimes in the Muslim world have nothing to do with Islam. Our prophet pbh orders us to kill sodomites and catamites, so does the scriptures that came before ours! The question is not the existence of sodomites, the question is “Why weren’t they executed?” what excuse did the regime use to refuse to execute such criminals? How were they able to organise and hire a hall for their perverted activities? Our prophet executed a transvestite, why wasn’t his Sunnah followed on the men wearing women’s clothes? It is clear that the governments are the problem; they need to be physically removed. Then the Islamic system that replaces them would be able to deal with the perverts according to the Sunnah. The Islamic punishment is one of the cures for homosexuality. The other cure is what Allah did to Sodom and Gomorra. It’s up to us which cure we want. It’s up to us to watch the executioner kill a few perverts or watch Allah destroy a few cities! |

| [slm] I wish it were only the governments. The "path of corruption" isn't one, it is many paths. There is wide drug and alcohol usage in the kingdoms. So there is jahilliyah. The moneyed ones used to go abroad to enjoy the pleasures of the flesh. Now, in the "enlightened states" these kicks can be had without the trouble of travel. Many wealthy Arabs consider their servants as their serfs. Many who aren't pleased with this satte of affairs, take to the other extreme. There is both "jahillaiyat" and "jahilliyah". You see, there have been many movements in Muslim countries to replace unIslamic governments, and they have ended either in a bloodbath of the poorly armed Islamists, or a free-for-all civil war, or a government that kills and executes and maimes and tortures and the officials of which make money on the side. There is a lot of dawah work to be done, even among the Muslims. There is a lot of tolerance to be learnt for each other and for the non-Muslims. Yes, it is incredible that such a thing has taken place in the Arabian peninsula. It has probably existed, covertly, and in little quantities, and the recent freedoms probably mean such behavior will increase. Is there an Islamic group waiting in the wings to introduce Islamic governance in the land that will be set free by removing these non-Islamic governments? I don't think such a group exists that enjoys wide support. If there is one, please let me know. There will need to be a coalition of groups that may be able to form a viable government, but most probably there will be a resistance by the shia or the Kharijites, and a civil war. It isn't that simple. |
