​@@Homoshambalait's still impressive an advertiser saw that and said yes

Well its inaccurate since islam is a religion and anyone can be muslim. And the quran is not a history book. ​so if he is talking history search the talk about the region. And not the religion @Homoshambala

@@toastghost6960 As a muslim I dont think the Quran is just a religion book, it is a history book as it tells us in 80% of it about ancient civilizations, tribes and nations, those who arent muslims who should see it as just a religion book. The islamic world IS in fact not a religious place but a geographical place where mjority inhabitants identify themselves as muslims. The term ISLAM is now and have always been used to talk about the religion but also the geo-political side of the notion. We can mean with the term islam the religion, and we can also mean with the term islam the state, the society etc.

@leonardteik5028 as a muslim myself as well. I would not call the quran a history book. It has science and philosophy. From where did you get the study to call it 80% historical ? It also has history but its not a hitorical book. Neither is it scientific of philosophical. If a guy from irland turns muslim he would get confused as to what was going on and in where. In the vid he is talking about the islamic world as a region. When islam is spread and will be spread. But a region has boarders and a time frame. When you dont distinguish the region from the religion. Thats a big issue.

Yeah i can relate once i have crush on a guy and we make out and then he just disappeared never comes back. So then i decided to marry girl. But i prefer both maybe threesome marriage two men and women 😅😂

I truly liked your comment. You said “as a queer person”. What does that mean? I know what it’s meant to mean. But my question is, if you can explain it with as much sensitivity as you expressed your thoughts in the comment, could you explain to me what queer means. Does it mean seeing the world in a different way? Is it always related to sexual proclivity. Because most people will say I’m a man or a woman. I am French I am Italian. I truly have no sense of what it would mean to say “I am queer”, other than saying, “I am sexual for things that make me curious in ways that are exciting and not acceptable and I derive an important part of my identity from the result of that in my world” Would you add that or change it? Thank you.

@@Alpha-Andromeda Well. Being part of a marginalised community will always make you see the world differently. I used "queer" in my comment bc it's an umbrella term for everyone in the LGBTQ+ community and therefore won't give away which letter I am exactly. It's a way to protect myself against those who wish harm on people like me - they can't specifically target me if they don't know what I am. This isn't how every queer person thinks, everyone sort of has their own definition of what the word means for them. But no, it isn't always sexual. Most of the time it isn't. The problem is, our community is often reduced to sexuality by those outside of it. Homophobes will be the first to say that the first thing they think of when seeing a gay couple is how disgusting it is that they have sex instead of, you know. Seeing them as just a normal couple. When we say we're queer, we aren't saying we're a sexuality. We're saying that it's a part of who we are and that we won't let anyone shame us away from it. Queer can also refer to gender, bc some people don't identify as either man or woman, and they use queer and non-binary pretty much interchangeably. In my case, though, I mentioned being queer in my comment bc it was directly related to the video's topic. It's the same as someone saying "as a [insert race here] person" under a video talking about racial issues. I wanted to thank OP and the comment section for being so respectful when usually, bringing LGBTQ+ topics in a religious setting creates a breeding ground for hate. And it goes back to the first thing I mentioned - my queerness essentially forces me to see the world differently. I put myself in constant danger just being out about it, so I always navigate unfamiliar settings with extreme caution. Straight people have the luxury of separating their sexuality from their identity bc being straight is considered "the norm" or "default state". It's never really put into question. And you're never in danger of violence just for being straight (you might be for other reasons, but being straight isn't one of them), so it's easy to brush it off. I can't do that. Idk if that makes sense ? English isn't my first language, so I'm not sure if I'm getting my point across clearly enough. But if you have more questions or want me to clarify other things, feel free to ask. I don't mind answering questions when they come from a place of genuinely wanting to understand, so you don't have to worry about offending me.

​@@Alpha-Andromeda You talk like a priveleged straight man who's never experience the lack of validation from society.

Love is love is k it's ok what's the problem let the people live their lives

Then beready for hiv types of deseases

Patriarchal societies have a problem with most of human sexuality, because they have always needed to repress and control it. To repress female sexuality, and repress homo- and bisexuality. BUT some societies bring this to the point of barbarism and persecution, other ones develop tolerance in various degrees. I like medieval islamic societies much better than contemporary ones!

Wrong, Humans have a tendency to be degenerate. This includes the wild spectrum that leads to this. So, it is a part of life, but its not a correct path. Its a path, like a murderer is a murderer and a grapist is a grapist. Theyre both wrong, but they are a part of life, an effect of a failing society.

Man, we need to talk, you’re misleading Muslims.

Which papers? Cuz your analysis in my opinion makes a couple of important mistakes, primarily in that you seem to me to be conflating modern concepts of age of consent, the conflation of sodomy and homosexuality as well as not paying much attention to the impractical nature of condemning all forms of homosexuality with the same vigor in pre-modern societies. Let's start with the first point. You explicitly say that men had sex with "underaged children", which projects modern notions of "childhood" into a setting where I wouldn't say they belong. The simple fact of the matter is that modern idea of the "child" and expanding "childhood" to overtake adolescence is a very, very recent development that has been brought on by a previously unprecedented state of wealth and access to medicine. We were at 46% child mortality in 1800 here in the USA and 26% in 1900, and that's just the statistics for children under the age of 5, my friend. I didn't look for statistics for children over 5, but one can certainly imagine that more of them died then than did today for similar reasons. That means that in 1800 if you had 10 children, you could expect to keep about 6, maybe 7... at least until they were 5. In Medieval England we know that the average number of births in the upper class families was around 15 and the number children that could be expected to make it to adulthood was 10-ish while in lower class families it was closer to 6, with often as low as 2 making it to adulthood. The British Statistics are paraphrased from Nicholas Ormes book Medieval Children (and I may be slightly off, but not by much), and the American ones can be found here (www.statista.com/statistics/1041693/united-states-all-time-child-mortality-rate/). With that in mind we might consider then that it was only practical for men to marry women as young as 15 for the widest space for fertility as possible, and indeed most people alive today descend from such unions. Several sets of my own great-grandparents were couples that had gaps of 10-15 and sometimes even 20 years between them, because it can and did often take a man much longer to get himself established enough to be able to afford a wife and children, especially depending on the pressures of his social class. We condemn these sorts of relationships today because there is no practicality behind them in a modern setting, but we forget that this is a high horse we can only sit on because of our unprecedented wealth and access to medicine. A man who took himself til he was 40 to get established was thought of as having achieved the same benefits as any other man who had done so at a younger age or one born established, and that was to have a wife and as many children as he could. If child mortality was that high, we might imagine that the best age then for a girl to be able to secure herself a stable husband would be 14-16, as it often was. So, age-gap relationships were a normal facet of pre-modern times, and one that we look down on from a place of luxury that our ancestors didn't really enjoy. It is a little disrespectful in my mind to those that came before us to paint them all with such a broad brush. With that in mind, when dealing with homosexuality things were no different because it was considered natural and beneficial for a man to be attracted to youth and a homosexual man was just exhibiting that same instinct, just in another direction, and an adolescent was not thought of for most of history as being a kind of child as much as they were a category of adult. We are generally not talking about boys below they age of 14 when referring to this concept, because pederasty was not for most of history viewed as encompassing prepubescent boys where it has manifested, and the acceptability of this behavior has depended heavily on the acceptability of age-gap relationships at large. Times were different, life was often shorter, and just because we live longer on average today and have a lower rate of child mortality, does not mean we are better and more enlightened than people in the past or people in the present who still live under these pressures. On the next point - your conflation of sodomy with homosexuality - I am not clear that this contemporary understanding was the same of people in the Islamic or Christian worlds in the past. If I remember correctly, this conflation was not really considered to be fully synonymous until well into the Post-War Period in the West and still doesn't make sense to a lot of people in different cultures, and even people in what is today the Muslim world. Sodomy for much of history in both the Islamic and Christian worlds has traditionally referred to oral and anal sex. All other sex acts were treated differently, which leaves a lot on the table, sex acts that Sufis and Christian monks alike are known to have written with a sort of guarded but still fairly straightforward openness about. I remember for example the writings of a certain prominent medieval scholar and monk (I can get you the reference, but I am paraphrasing) who once wrote that he was so excited to see the bishop who had been his mentor in youth that he would cover his body in kisses from his naked collar to his ankles... something to that effect. Nicholas Ormes' book Medieval Children also has a section which talks about the common medieval notion that friars (who were usually teenagers or young adults) were known to lure the newest boys into "sin", but then of course we know from other medieval records that sodomy and other homosexual sex acts were not considered in the same category. We also know the Sufi scholar and mystic Ibn Arabi is said to have traced the lines of the body of a youth who appeared to him in Mecca who signaled that he was in fact Allah with a secret gesture who took off his clothes when they were alone and asked him to do so, as it was in his lines that the secrets of being were etched. Let's Talk Religion mentioned this incident in his videos on Wahdat-al-Wujud and on Ibn Arabi proper. Thus, we can imagine at least for a moment that there is more for two men or a man and a youth to get up to than just oral and anal sex, and these were dealt with rather differently, if at all. The word "masturbation" did not originally of course mean to do to oneself, but "to manually stimulate". It was only gradually that it came to this definition, and only gradually that they started to be treated differently at the ethical level. Anyone who has been either a Christian or a Muslim knows of course that masturbation today is generally treated with a sort of quiet disregard for the reality of the situation, and we can certainly see this reflected for what we would call "masturbation" and "mutual masturbation" today in the historical record. Finally, lending to the point that condemning at the same level all homosexual activity of any kind was impractical, this is due primarily to the fact that privacy in the Western sense is a very recently developed concept. For much of history, a private moment was a rare thing. People generally ate, shat, slept and bathed with other people, most often people of the same gender. Parents and children used to sleep in the same room and more often than not even in the same bed, even among the upper classes (although this trend started to change with the latter beginning in about the 1650s), which meant that sex acts of whatever kind might be happening around them at any given time of the night. I think the earliest Western reference to this being inappropriate comes from the Victorian Period, and again this was mostly circulated among the ascendant middle class of the period. So, I'm sure we can imagine what many a teenage boy got up to under the covers whilst sleeping in the same bed with his friends naked with the rest of the family because of the summer heat, and in fact these dynamics are still quite common around much of the world today. In these sorts of circumstances, it would be difficult to conceal sodomy, and so what is considered to be ethical sexual conduct for whatever reason is more easily upheld by peers and family, and because masturbation and other homosexual sex acts were simply not treated the same as sodomy if at all. This is why a good deal of homoerotic Christian and Muslim poetry hints at things like mutual masturbation and even why art from the Ancient World commonly shows men engaged in such sex acts as intercrural sex or mutual masturbation. These sex acts were generally perceived as more acceptable, but sodomy (oral and anal sex) less so, and the idea of putting all people who enjoyed sex acts of any kind with the same sex or ever did at any point into a single category is one that didn't make sense to the general public until after it became the norm for people to start sleeping in separate rooms, at least here in the west. These are very important concepts in understanding the dynamics of pre-modern relationships and especially pre-industrial relationships in history and around the world today. Remember that many people, people who may or may not compose part of your audience (with specific regard to your Muslim audiences, even those in Europe and North America) live under some combination of or perhaps still all of these pressures that we in the West presently do not face at all, and it strikes me I suppose as a little insensitive of us to pass judgment on them and inappropriate to project our ideas onto them. Anyways, take care sir! I hope to hear back you.

Check out Thomas Bauer "A Culture of Ambiguity", he extensively talks about this topic. Marc David Baer and his recent book The Ottomans also covers homosexuality and sexual relations in the Empires of the Ottomans, there you can find additional sources.

@@porphyriontimotheoios1107 Why would it be insensitive?.

It has everything to do with civilizational collapse in the Arab and Iranian world combined with a very negative reaction to European colonialism. The religious fanaticism that has become part of modern Islam is a kind of Anti-Western, anti-colobislism. It's just not a very intellectual variety of those modern political trends.

Doesn't exactly help that we conquered the world in our judgemental prudish eugenicist medicalisation phase as a nation and codified oppression of minorities wherever we went. What is happening to LGBTQ people in Uganda right now is the fault of the Ugandan Anglican church, Colonisation and legal and moral frameworks inherited from British occupation.

Same sex marriage is not the only measure of more tolerant attitudes towards homosexuality / bisexuality. It's just the modern measure in the liberal democracies of the world. Maybe the "gold standard.".

The Enlightenment contributed to this in Europe and Northern America

They definitly seem to have degernerated compared to the rest of the world. Which is quite wild, I wonder when they will have their own reformations or it will just happen gradually throughout time. I fear we will all be dead though if it doesn't happen sooner than later

Homosexuality wasn't even a thing... Onlyin modern times have we categorized people by their sexual preferences

@@stadiamak692 People who say that never follow through and say that straight people didn't exist either. Imagine that, people having different words and concepts throughout time and space. You're also wrong; today is not the first time that there are sexuality terms which are nouns (there's even an example in this video).

Sometimes i wonder "how cute was teenage boys back then"

@@elbasado481 If you live in America or Europe today the women considered most attractive are curvy with large chests and behinds. If you go to the same places thirty or forty years ago the women considered most attractive are trim and athletic. In the 1950s thinness was considered undesirable. Today having a tan is attractive, but centuries ago being pale as the moon was attractive. A couple hundred years ago in Iran masculinity in women was attractive but now a more western preference is adopted. The point is that ideas of what is attractive change. In ancient Greece the culture idealized youthfulness while also being very misogynist. This allowed p*dophilia to be a bigger problem and eventually became part of the culture. Today you see young girls being sexualized more and more (look at the clothing options in stores and you'll see). It's possible that a future America could have the same problem but I don't think it's likely to get that bad because women and children have more rights now. In short: teenage boys are the same, any time any place. If you like men and don't grow out of attraction to teenage boys as you grow up you have a problem. If your society forces children to be sexual before they're ready you have a bigger problem. And obviously it's nothing to do with sexual orientation, which is why I am glad that the video didn't talk about it.

I think you might be excluding certain examples of cultures where it was good to be homosexual both socially and spiritually. The first ones that come to mind are the various indigenous American(continent) cultures whose concepts of gender and sexuality fall under the modern English label Two-Spirit. Prior to European colonization, there were many examples of culture where sexual and gender minorities were completely accepted and celebrated. They had important roles in spiritual practices and in the functioning of their communities. Homophobia and Transphobia has been a major cultural shift for many communities as a result European( and Christian) colonialism.

some muslims are wrong because they are taught by the prophet to hate the sin and not the sinner. They believe the God prohibits things for good reasons, and islam also puts familial relationships and having offspring in great regard and that indulging in sexual pleasures or any pleasures too much will corrupt the human self. Even so, hating people for what they do should be seen as wrong

It could be because there is strict segregation between men and women. So that is why they are just desperate and not just homosexuals. There are many like this in Afghanistan and Pakistan as well.

@@julia2k8 Let’s share a dream together.

@@EmilyTienne this will never be normalized, not even in your dreams

@@julia2k8 It’s been normal over most of the western world. Gays can marry, keep jobs, have their own businesses. They are featured prominently in popular music, television and the movies. They can even walk down the street holding hands. And you’re saying this isn’t an indication of normalization? Are you joking? They couldn’t do this fifty years ago. What planet are you from?

celebrated ?

No its not genius, it's frowned upon.

a lot of child rapes in Pakistan ( mostly with boys, who are addicted to opium)

@@fallasleep9472cheating is also frowned upon and look at how much your grandfather’s generation did it. We like to think people follow what’s frowned upon, but there are LOTS of “open secrets”. Even VICTORIANS had sexual secrets that were crazy to us.

We all think politicians stealing money is frowned upon, does that mean it’s less common today?

بسم لله الرحمن الرحيم CHAPTER 27 VERSES 55_59 وَلُوْطًا اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهٖٓ اَتَأْتُوْنَ الْفَاحِشَةَ وَاَنْتُمْ تُبْصِرُوْنَ And (remember) Lout (Lot)! When he said to his people.

Nay, but you are a people who behave senselessly." فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهٖٓ اِلَّآ اَنْ قَالُوْٓا اَخْرِجُوْٓا اٰلَ لُوْطٍ مِّنْ قَرْيَتِكُمْۙ اِنَّهُمْ اُنَاسٌ يَّتَطَهَّرُوْنَ There was no other answer given by his people except that they said: "Drive out the family of Lout (Lot) from your city. Verily, these are men who want to be clean and pure!" فَاَنْجَيْنٰهُ وَاَهْلَهٗٓ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَهٗ قَدَّرْنٰهَا مِنَ الْغٰبِرِيْنَ So We saved him and his family, except his wife. We destined her to be of those who remained behind. وَاَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ مَّطَرًاۚ فَسَاۤءَ مَطَرُ الْمُنْذَرِيْنَ ࣖ And We rained down on them a rain (of stones). So evil was the rain of those who were warned. قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ وَسَلٰمٌ عَلٰى عِبَادِهِ الَّذِيْنَ اصْطَفٰىۗ ءٰۤاللّٰهُ خَيْرٌ اَمَّا يُشْرِكُوْنَ ۔ Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Praise and thanks be to Allah, and peace be on His slaves whom He has chosen (for His Message)! Is Allah better, or (all) that you ascribe as partners (to Him)?" (Of course, Allah is Better). CHAPTER 29 VERSES 28_31 وَلُوْطًا اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهٖٓ اِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُوْنَ الْفَاحِشَةَ ۖمَا سَبَقَكُمْ بِهَا مِنْ اَحَدٍ مِّنَ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ And (remember) Lout (Lot), when he said to his people: "You commit Al-Fahishah (sodomy the worst sin) which none has preceded you in (committing) it in the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns)." اَىِٕنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُوْنَ الرِّجَالَ وَتَقْطَعُوْنَ السَّبِيْلَ ەۙ وَتَأْتُوْنَ فِيْ نَادِيْكُمُ الْمُنْكَرَ ۗفَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهٖٓ اِلَّآ اَنْ قَالُوا ائْتِنَا بِعَذَابِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ Verily, you do sodomy with men, and rob the wayfarer (travellers, etc.)! And practise Al-Munkar (disbelief and polytheism and every kind of evil wicked deed) in your meetings." But his people gave no answer except, that they said: "Bring Allah's Torment upon us if you are one of the truthful." قَالَ رَبِّ انْصُرْنِيْ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْمُفْسِدِيْنَ ࣖ He said: "My Lord! Give me victory over the people who are Mufsidun (those who commit great crimes and sins, oppressors, tyrants, mischief-makers, corrupts). وَلَمَّا جَاۤءَتْ رُسُلُنَآ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ بِالْبُشْرٰىۙ قَالُوْٓا اِنَّا مُهْلِكُوْٓا اَهْلِ هٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ ۚاِنَّ اَهْلَهَا كَانُوْا ظٰلِمِيْنَ ۚ And when Our Messengers came to Ibrahim (Abraham) with the glad tidings they said: "Verily, we are going to destroy the people of this [Lout's (Lot's)] town (i.e. the town of Sodom in Palestine) truly, its people have been Zalimun [wrong-doers, polytheists and disobedient to Allah, and have also belied their Messenger Lout (Lot)]." بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Like that guy wich is doing curraption every Saturday he's in the beginning did rape a girl he did go to prison he did give he's body to prisoners to rape him then he started being a gay half gay half sexual with women he's girlfriend was allowing him to do sex with her to make him stay away from those practices enchalah but she fails and she can tell people about that she didn't once more for not destroying he's life he did left her then he started selling himself for money and he became a purely gay wants just men may all Allah guides him he's also did lied to the girl that I did love and stand with when she was having cancer ,he's from tunisa that girl is from America I did know him before a year I didn't know about all of those things one time I was in my house in December 2021 my friends from omrane tells me to stay away from him then I understand what's he's really are I did forget about that maybe he would change maybe he would become a men what did he do he did mockery against me when I be with my freinds in my city they called him play I did know now why they do that I have proofs against him but I wouldn't show that to anyone maybe he's be guided someday he's life can be destroyed I even let him to be with the girl from America that I love I want him to marry her and stay away from mishelf, please pray with me o people's maybe God guides this person I can lie just like him and play with the feelings of the people's but I do not because my mom raised a men he's also from being in America and married he wants to leave islam and be Christian for this purpose even when I showed him this I didn't tell him the truth about him and what I know but I showed him this maybe he's being guided:Trinty is association.

It makes sense. They were influenced by Greeks, Romans and Persians. The practice is common today in places like Afghanistan and Pakistan. Although it's usually men and boys.

@@B10101 Yes, but it is hinted at in Islam as well. Just as with the full breasted virgins, you will be served wine by beautiful young servant boys in Paradise. This could be interpreted as a promised reward of martyrdom or belief by saying that although these things are forbidden now if you are loyal to Islam you can indulge in them in Paradise and it will not be haram. It could have been a strategy used to get more men who indulged in those practices to follow Islam.

Hi, I didn't expect to find you here. Btw, you're one of my favourite content creators on YT and I really appreciate what you do ❤️

Misunderstood! Sounds we have been living the wrong way ever since mankind were created. Oh! You know what it might actually be a mistake from god, there should've been only one gender why complicate it? Is that right Mr. Cogito?

There is also a heavy emphasis on loving those close to God. A lot of the poetry could be misunderstood as homosexual when it is a platonic love for ones teachers, seniors and/or peers. Not that I'm saying it doesn't happen. Just that a lot of it is easy to misunderstand. One sufi asked to kiss a man's tongue because he has taught hadeeth for decades and was the foremost senior teacher in hadeeths. Other examples, less unusual ones, like kissing hands and feet, etc are normalised and can be misunderstood.

Sufism is wrong in general

@@ferone2ashy That is true, I’m not Muslim, I’m an Irish American Catholic but from my understanding in some parts of the Islamic world men are more affectionate with one another, ie male friends holding hands. I think that at least for some of us westerners in our culture we’d call “homosexual behavior” or non-typical behavior between men in our culture. All in all this video was great and I found it super interesting as a high school history teacher.

@@MCKevin289 Friends holding hands is also common in india.

Quran itself is written by many scholars, there is no way if there is any truth about this book. Even the Mecca Mosque is made after 900 AD. So, the modern Islam is man-made.

Yeah but “NOW” Europe is more respectful to homosexuality than muslim countries

it's bit horrendous as a Hindu, that we had great many examples of lgbt+ members but their history was buried and falsified under the British rule

@Sanctus Paulus 1962 because they have been influenced already by Europe. Influence goes beyond making the decisions for you.

Has very little to do with European influence and more to do with the fall of the predominantly sufi empire (ottoman empire). Orthodox Muslims existed all over the muslim world but we're not in positions of power until very recently.

By the Greeks Romans christians crusaders male Arab ass play goat sex lamb sex they had to fulfill the sexual needs without a wife then they come to America and they really can do they filthy deeds in dirty America

This western boot-licker wants to appease his ideological masters so that they give him some more dog food by stating that a few people were mentally handicapped and disguising it as history. As if the Marx bust wasn’t enough.

This is reactionary content honestly, or is he going to go into history of every wierd attitude and criminal behavior of those times? Doubt it

Gayism is Haram. Cope harder.

@Dani Al I think it is history. He's probably not going to say that homosexuality was more common then it was. E.g. castrati in Europe were not really common but it's stil history.

Calling it "Islamic World" doesn't sit right with me. Muslim World, that's fine with me since muslim aren't faultless nor sinless. But Islamic? Really?
