A member has publically been calling gay people 'fags'.
'Fags' is a deragotory and pathetic insult, when it is used by a Muslim it is ironic since the people that invented the term 'fag' are also the people that invented the terms 'nigger' for all non white people.
When Crescent used it, not one user said anything which disappointed me. It REALLY angers me when Muslims fail to be aware that we live in an era where we are being watched and must be on our best behaviour more than ever since everything we say or do will be scrtunised and become sterotyped in to what the media is moulding people's perceptions of what a Muslim is.
There are non-Muslims who use this site (which makes it extra special in my opinion), those non-Muslim people may see one Muslim using homophobic terms and make the assumption that Islam is homophobic. Islam is NOT homophobic; Islam states that homosexual behaviour is a sin, but it does not state that gay people must be treated like second class citizens and insulted.
As a Sikh user pointed out perfectly, Islam preaches tolerance. So as a Muslim i condemn and apologise for Crescent's appaling and degrading use of language when describing gay people.
The fact that no moderator has said anything prior to this topic suggests to me that perhaps homophobia is allowed here; i hope a moderator can clear that up.
Good day and remember; negativity is the key to Satan's door.
