Self-declared enemy of the LGBT
Transcript of the following video. [Boldface added.]
0:00 do you support the LGBT agenda
0:04 I do not so that means I don't
0:08 religiously socially politically and I
0:11 do believe it's important for us
0:12 collectively as a community to actually
0:15 oppose any agenda or ideology that is
0:19 contrary to the Quran so that's my
0:21 personal View and that is of course I
0:24 think the view of the imams uh all
0:27 around North America and any Muslim
0:29 that's committed to the Quran and the
0:30 Sunnah

This is a story about people being punished for same-sex acts. This is the intial transcript. [Boldface added.]
0:00 in the story of prophet Lut it's Crystal
0:02 Clear that he's openly criticizing his
0:05 people for engaging in same-sex Acts or
0:09 what what we call today homosexuality
0:11 but there's some people they want the
0:13 Quran to say something that it doesn't
0:15 actually say so this new Theory emerged
0:18 at some point in time the theory is this
The rest of this video is about how Muslim interpretations of the story to say it isn’t a condemnation of homosexuality is wrong.
Yaqeen Institute anti-homosexual reading material.
“Islam and homosexuality: Reframing the narrative on LGBTQ.”
One of the major challenges facing religious communities is the pressure to conform to the popular rhetoric of the LGBTQ movement, and to accept the movement’s stances on same-sex acts. In this unit, we help students understand what Islam says about same-sex desires and acts and empower them to challenge the principles that underlie the LGBTQ movement.

They have the paper online, Islam and the LGBT Question: Reframing the Narrative.
This year on May 17, Canada’s International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, a poster, promoted under the auspices of a Canadian university, depicted two Muslim women in headscarves on the verge of kissing.
A number of other Canadian universities and high schools allowed the poster to circulate as a way of promoting “diversity in love.” The poster also featured a biracial homosexual couple, a black heterosexual couple, and a couple consisting of a fully-abled and a disabled person, alongside the two Muslim women, with each couple engaging in a romantic act. Many Canadian Muslims were enraged after the release of this poster, and rightfully so considering the appropriation of a patent Muslim symbol (i.e., the hijab) for a cause that is explicitly prohibited in Islam. The Muslim community organized collectively and submitted a petition signed by thousands of individuals, from young students in high school to leaders of Muslim organizations, demanding that the university take down the poster. One Muslim wrote to the university, “Shame on you [...] for such an insulting mockery post to my religion.”
Soon after, LGBTQ Nation published an article titled “University pulls image of women in hijabs kissing after Muslim community protests.”
…
The framing of the article as a whole, from its title to its final paragraph, portrays Muslims who objected to the poster as unnecessarily “homophobic”: they were protesting a beautiful thing that their own religious scripture supposedly does not condemn and that their own history has allegedly celebrated for centuries.

Singed a statement condeming LGBTQ
5 Pillars, May 24, 2023 “North American scholars defend normative Islamic position on LGBTQ.”
More than 130 prominent Muslim scholars from North America have issued a statement defending the Muslim community’s right to maintain the normative Islamic position on LGBTQ without being accused of bigotry or hatred.
The scholars, who include Imam Siraj Wahaj, Imam Suhaib Webb, Shaykh Shadee Elmasry, Shaykh Yasir Qadhi, Imam Omar Suleiman and the Canadian Council of Imams … [Bold face in the heading but added for Suleiman’s name.]
The statement is at this link.
We recognize that some religious groups have reinterpreted or revised religious doctrine to be inclusive of LGBTQ ideology. The Muslim community is not immune to such pressures. Indeed, some have attempted to reinterpret Islamic texts in favor of LGBTQ affirmation. We categorically reject such efforts as theologically indefensible because these aspects of sexual ethics fit within the category of immutable tenets and are therefore not subject to revision.

Omar Suleiman is part of the homophobic AlMaghrib Institute.
His homophobia was part of a Peace and Tolerance report on a hate group in Boston. They archived the Facebook post of his online.

In the News.
Somewhat obscuring what his agenda is. Dallas Morning News, June 16, 2024, “Q&A: Islamic scholar Omar Suleiman on the Quran and homosexuality.”
This article, Fox News, June 13, 2016, “Local Muslim leaders call for solidarity with the LGBT community,” gives a picture of Omar Suleiman quite different than his videos.

D Magazine, Feb. 1, 2017, “Omar Suleiman is the Religious Leader Dallas Needs Right Now.”
It shows how the so-called leadership of the LGBT can be so easily managed.
Doesn’t like Halloweeen.
Indigenous religions and cultural traditions get obliterated by Islam.
Know which individuals, institutions, churches, etc. are anti-Gay in North Texas.
