LGBTQ+, Schools, And Homophobia | Mufti Abu Layth

views on lgbtq I mean I've got detailed videos and look it's it's things I've answered that there's it's a way of life that people if they have it they have it you know you don't need to go around uh it's like Imam Malik when he was asked about incestuous marriages do we where we have control over it vent them do we condemn them do we he said no he said it's if it's their way of life it's their way of life you just live your way of life you know it's not you don't need to go around condemning it you don't need if it's their way of

life it's their way of life you know it's not so I don't know why there's so much noise and commotion about all of these things I do feel I agree that there is um there are certain things that I do agree on condemning and that is the um what I feel is an inappropriate exposure of young children to a um a kind of programming where they want to teach children that are so young like five and six

about sexuality and they want to teach them about sexual intercourse and they want to teach them I find that grossly inappropriate and I feel that kind of stuff should be condemned um and I feel there's no harm look if they want to say people want to say look and in society there are some people that live in this kind of a relationship which is a homosexual relationship fine you know if because that is the case that is the reality in society there are people who live like that so if you say that to children that's fine but then I don't see why also it isn't why people

get so reactionary when we say well and in society there are people who live in polygamous relationships as well and people in fact I had a clip it got I mean it was it was an old clip uh when I say old as in it it was definitely a few months but it was just uploaded recently on polygamous relationships and it triggered a certain amount of backlash almost um and I and I find that as well I find that quite strange that it doesn't mean that people need to do it but it's just that well you know is since we we are accepting every other Paradigm

of relationship in society because because this is and if it's just that relationship level I don't mean that the the kind of exposure of the the the detail of sexuality to Children is grossly inappropriate but if you're simply just saying that look and in society there are uh certain people who are like this okay which is a reality there are that's fine but if you're trying to somehow indoctrinate them into becoming into like you're trying to overly represent trying to misrepresent all of these then I feel

that's wrong these are just young children just leave them alone like you know sure when they maybe in their final year of of Junior School of primary school and and when they're going to Secondary School teaching them that's fine sure I mean that's like a 10 year old 11 year old child it's fine you know you're teaching details but teaching details to a five-year-old kid I I I don't personally agree with that I feel you're over this is to me it's not right I think just leave people but at the same time if you're teaching to condemn bigotry against homosexuality and to connect

that's fine that's good because this is true there are people homosexual people in society there are people like this so so people if they're teaching that look by the way some people they live with you know let's say they may say some people live with two moms or some people live with two dads or some people that is happening in reality so fine and the and that it's wrong to say things to people like this it's wrong to kind of abuse or to try to persecute this is wrong fine of course that's wrong categorically to be abusing people or to be saying things to them so

this kind of stuff is all you know if but then I do think well you know these same societies that say that then why is it that when we say well okay what about the the polygamous Paradigm and they find that so oh no that's like medieval you think well why is that medieval like why is why is that not a paradigm as well in saying and in society there are also some people like this but it's yeah I I don't know so that's but look as far as the countries are concerned these countries are not Muslim countries

this is a way of life that people have and the azima Malik said they they are entitled to their way of life you don't get him you you don't you do not condemn you don't get involved and condemn them saying you guys are so like let people be they're not con they're not getting involved in your life so just let them be that's that's what I say that and don't worry about you know sometimes some people get insecure thinking oh my God if if maybe we're all going to turn homosexual then relax it doesn't work like that it does not work like that okay but the world is not going to be calm just homosexual because

some people are homosexual it's okay you know just so I think the homophobia needs to be got ridden of imminently and immediately there should never be homophobic never be this hatred because look at it Imam Malik being asked and let's be honest that is something pretty disgusting on all fronts incest and you can understand how that that would evoke a kind of immediate disgust in people clear even in this day and age in in the

west it would clearly evoke discussed but in fact I'm pretty sure in the UK it's illegal as in you'd go to prison I'm sure I'm sure it's still I I think it's the law here it's the law in many Western countries that you'd go to prison yet look how forward-thinking Imam Malik was when he's asked he said that look we don't get involved like if that's their way of life like we have our way of life they have that we don't but look where they could have got involved because the Muslims had power still no he said no don't we don't that's their way of life

but you know so cool I hope that helps Marx no teachers are teaching sex to children it's reactionary fear-mongering sure I hope that that's correct I mean I hope that's correct see I don't I'm not I I was a teacher many years ago almost a decade ago um I I quit almost about a decade ago now so prior to that I was involved in schools but I've not been for many years now and I have heard from some people in

some schools there has been I have heard this so Allah I'm not saying it's a blanket thing across all schools in some I heard that there was like they they were going over and Beyond and this is why in Birmingham there was a huge reaction on there were protests and all this I think a couple of years ago and then they removed it from those schools uh in that way because it wasn't from what I heard it wasn't just the teach and then in other places they're not it is just fear-mongering so yeah I mean let's people you know the main honestly

this is It's just so important to sometimes just detach from toxicity and negativity just to kind of bring a calmness a lot of it is this you know this verse We Said Today is so it doesn't even concern them so many times sometimes it may but many a times it does it's like you practice you you do you let other people do that I'll just

breathe you know we need to not be it's difficult it's our fitral to be reactionary but we need to try to control that we need to try right much love for the Super Chat Ruthie Johnston may Allah bless you I mean
