I recently read an article under
the title of “Camel piss drinker V/S Jalebi Mullah” and was actually forced to
comment on this pathetic school of thought after reading the whole thing. It is
so ironic that people try to defend actions that are wrong in every sense of
the matter.
Talking about homosexuality and
other related terms, homos are present in each and every society. Be it any
religion, cast or creed, there have been homos, thieves, public enemies,
swindlers, hypocrites, you name it, in all societies of this world. Moral, social,
ethical and all other sorts of corruption prevails in each and every society on
large or small scales. However, this does not at all mean that people start
coming up giving excuses for such actions. Moreover, they do not have an
inkling of the consequences while trying to justify such actions. What is wrong
is WRONG and will remain wrong no matter how many try to justify wrong and evil
acts.
I’ll give an example here. Earning a living for oneself and family is a
basic human right, but doing that through illegal means can never be justified
in any society. Likewise, sexual gratification is a basic human right, but
having that through unnatural or illegal means can never be justified. Next time
people will start demonstrating in favor of rape. That won’t make it right! It
is not about human rights, it is about RIGHT and WRONG. Consumption of alcohol
has not been permissible by any religion but it prevails even in most Muslim
dominated parts of the world. This however does not mean that it is right to
consume alcohol. Similarly, infidelity is unacceptable in all religions and societies
but it prevails in almost all parts of the world. Does this mean infidelity should
be allowed? So should be the case with homosexuality.
Moreover, terrorism is
unquestionably deplorable but not in the eyes of the terrorists. Should we
accept it as a norm because a certain number of people agree with it? Of course
not! Then why should we accept homosexuality just because it is accepted by some
people? A wrong is a wrong!
My questions to all those
liberalists are as under:
Why should we accept the wrongs and evils of
societies just because it is practiced?
Why shouldn’t we condemn what is
wrong?
Why should shamelessness be allowed?
Either you accept it, or condemn
it! There is nothing in between. It is a fact that homosexuality is not
permissible in any religion and it should be condemned. It doesn’t mean people
start gay bashing. Instead, there should be laws to curb such activities just
like there are for corruption and other social sins.
I am not in favor of any kind of
extremism, religious or otherwise. However, there should always be a line
between what’s right and what’s wrong. The advice to people like the writer of
the article is to perceive the legitimacy of an act first and then try giving
an opinion. Besides, never mock people’s beliefs in any manner just because you
belong to a different school of thought.
