It seems American Muslims are rejecting Obama's "Gay Marriage" approval.(TMO)."Islam and Muslims: Same Sex Marriages".By Aslam Abdullah, TMO Editor-in-Chief.Physical intimacy is not simply a biological action and reaction. It is bigger than that. It is more about the value system that one prefers and adopts because it impacts not only the individual, family and the society but human civilizations, cultures as well as the rise and fall of nations.
On the one hand are Freudian followers who argue that civilization is a byproduct of repressed sexuality and on the other hand are those who in the words of J. D. Unwin believe that “in human records there is no instance of a society retaining its energy after a complete new generation has inherited a tradition which does not insist on per-nuptial and post-nuptial continence.” This "de-moralization" of sex is promoting a new sexual ethics that legitimizes and justifies everything in the name of pleasure and freedom. What was presented as his personal opinion by President Obama about same sex marriage is an effort to legitimize the de-moralization of sex to develop a new culture where every sexual activity is fine as long as individuals engaged in the act have their consent and pleasure. His perspective is based on a world view, a world view that Islam does not share.
Islam regards physical intimacy as an act of responsibility between a man and woman within the confines of contractual marriage. Islam, on the basis of its value system, takes a strong stand on pre-marital, and post-marital physical relations as well as on physical relations between people of the same gender. Islam calls for sexual discipline in society and recommends restrictions in sexual behavior to help people channel their energy in matters that are fundamental in preserving the interests of people. However, Islam does recognize the rights of people to reject this world view and acknowledges the freedom of people to adopt an alternative perspective, with the admonition that people are responsible for the consequences of their actions in the eyes of God. Marriage is an institution promoted and protected by all religions. Islam recognizes it as part of the revealed knowledge, a knowledge that is given by the Divine to help human beings find their way to a better life in this as well as in the hereafter. Obviously, those who do not believe in the idea of Divine revelation would find it hard to accept this notion. 
But this is what Islam expects its adherents to accept. Accepting an alternative definition of marriage is like changing the revelation and the divine guidance, an act that is not supported by Islam. Obviously, Obama and those who want to demoralize sexuality and promote the idea of extending the term “marriage” to same sex unions would not find support among the followers of Islam, because Muslims would view it a challenge to their own value system.
We Muslims owe it to ourselves and our future generation an education that promotes the value system that we deem right for ourselves and others. We must speak out on this important issue to let the people know what we stand for. Our political pundits have already presented the Obama perspective as an electoral and political issue. It is much more than that. It is about the value system that we adopt as our guiding principle. It is our right to share our value system with others without being intimidated and trying to be politically correct. If others have a right to promote their ideas based on Freudian ideas, we Muslims also have the right to present our perspectives based on revealed knowledge.Hmmmm........The 'outreach to Muslims' just reached a gender too far.Read the full story here.
