A controversial liberal-Islam writer challenges critics to explain how God
could have made 'misfits' and 'abominations'. Perhaps they
said the same thing at Sodom and Gomorrah just before
it rained fire and brimstone, destroying all and sundry.
For the good author's information, the good Lord does
not go around creating 'misfits' and 'abominations'.
Only man does. We cannot go on blaming the Creator
for things that go wrong when the blame is on us
for neglecting his laws.
One would have taken her seriously if she had uttered
the phrase with conviction and not to justify her lesbianic
orientation or against a backdrop of promoting her book.
Just as a production of an automobile that comes with
a maintenance manual on how to best upkeep the said
vehicle, the creation of man, too came with an instruction-
manual (the respective holy books) on how to best maintain
oneself in the spiritual and physical context by the Creator's degree.
It is the neglect of this book in one's formative years that give
rise to to so-called 'misfits and 'abominations'.
If the good Lord had meant for gays and lesbians to be okay,
he would definitely have made the human genitalia,
completely detachable and interchangeable.
Incidentally, there have been numerous cases
of rapists and pedophiles whose victims have
been willing partners. Is the author implying
that they too be warmly accepted into society ?
Doesn't she realise that such cases could have
been the result of unaddressed issues in one's
formative years? Perhaps she may want to
include bestials? (people who indulge in
consensual sex with animals) or perhaps
necrophiles (sex with corpses). Heck! they
are people too, she could argue.
Come on, we all know where this is leading
to. US President, Obama has done it (recognizing
same-sex marriages) thus compromising
his beliefs to keep alive his presidential-bid.
So why not the said author, compromising
her spiritual beliefs for a healthier bank-balance
from her already controversial book and who
can forget Salman Rushdie who only had the
courage to inflame Muslim sensitivities
when he was in the west but not when he
was residing in Delhi.
Apparently, courting controversy seems to be
the mantra for anyone who needs political or monetary
mileage and the author in question is no exception.
