No that is the whole point, she is not credible, ok I will try to explain it to you in a format that is easy to understand.
1) She says she is a Muslim.
2) She says she is a homosexual.
3) But a homosexual cannot be a Muslim, it is against the Quran.
4) Therefore she is not a Muslim.
5) Therefore she is not credible if she does not know a Muslim cannot be a homosexual, it shows she has very little knowledge of the Quran if she does not know this simple fact.
If she thinks she can be a homosexual AND a Muslim, then she doesn't know the basics of the Quran and she is not a credible source. Now say she didn't claim she is a Muslim, we might care what her argument is, but because she said she is a homosexual Muslim, she lost ALL credibility.

Islam presumes that a man will be drawn to beautiful youths, and admonishes the believer not to yield to temptation. Thus, homosexual desire and love are accommodated, but same-sex intercourse is prohibited, as Islam teaches that such intercourse is a violation of the natural boundaries set by Allah. Homosexuality as an attraction is not against the Sharia (which governs the physical actions, not the inner thoughts and feelings), it is only the physical action of same-sex intercourse that is punishable under the Sharia.

I can tell you what a stupid person can be in this case.
- A person that tries to justify he's hate on a religion by delivering wrong information and claims that these are accurate facts!
- An ignoring person who refuses to get his information from a reliable source.
- A person that insults others after a discussion to prove his superiority.
Simple as that.

Murder, adultry/ fornification and I suppose the other big ones are punishable sins that can be committed by a Muslim, but you can't even be a muslim if you are a homosexual? And If you aren't a muslim, you must convert or die.. (or pay a tax) :roll:
I have been paying attention. Did I get it all about right?
The Jizyah is simply a tax that everyone has to pay unless they are Muslim. Zakat covers the Jizyah. It is a means to provide funds for state coffers.
It isn't as simple as covert or die. Islam has a history of providing protection for People of the Book.

Thanks for the answer. That's the impression I got as well.Originally posted by: 0marTheZealot
As it was said eariler, one can be homosexual, but the act of homosexuality is forbidden. There is nothing wrong with a homosexual identity.

How nice and discriminatory!

I don't understand how it is discriminatory. Everyone has to pay taxes. Muslims have their tax built as a pillar of faith. Other religions do not have this, so they pay a tax to compensate. It's a method for the state to make money.
