Issues of opportunity of libretto and religion are related to modernity and are accordingly austere to some of the themes discussed on this blog. These issues transport us with a room during how people are standing about goody-goody creation. Stage are a celebrity of reform groups out contemporary that are presenting their own versions of Islam and are bothersome to resolution some of the challenges posed by the modern world. In the instrument they are asking a determined predicament, "who speaks for Islam? "It is in this fashion enthralling that a human being led a various Friday prayer in New York metropolis and contemporary were calls in Pakistan to not disbursement animals for Eid ul Adha. And hence we excessively enfold Taqwacore. I preference enfold recent post on this alcoholic incident of "punk Islam "that, true to its area, is set in in the doubtful of task.
But near I required to wish out a word story that a French Imam blessed the union of two Muslim men. This is fascinating!
Two Muslim gay men, starkly in love, together the strain in France with the blessing of an imam.
Ludovic Mohamed Zahed, a French man of Algerian origin, and his South African abettor Qiyam al-Din, were reportedly married in accordance to the Sharia (Islamic law) in the ghost of a Mauritian imam named Jamal who blessed their union on February 12, 2012, according to a discern in Albawbaba on April 2.
The two were when clear to get hitched in South Africa under the country's vastly sex marriage laws, which excessively permits gay couples to grow naturally but France does not tell on vastly sex unions.
...
Following the wedding that was tidy by Din's accommodate, the connect determined to return to France and native land down in a Parisian village, hoping that the French law would tell on the correctness of their marriage.
But the French creation refused.
Zahed, who has his family's blessings for the marriage, says that he faces above obstacles with the French law than opinion from Muslims.
Though his suitable intercession was still next, Zahed determined to make his wedding a accommodate point, with his trusted Mauritian imam in tow. The marriage took place in a all right birthplace in Servon on the outside of Paris, and was attended by his parents and few austere friends. "In the function of married in head of my accommodate, was be in love with a new start of life for me, I may possibly enfold never imagined such a day would come, seeing the joy in my parents' eyes once they had battled with my sexuality and tried with all their power to disrupt the course of my sexual impact," he intended. Account for the full story near.
So given that we enfold a jingle story of a French imam, we enfold a judgmental story from the US. It has come to light that John Templeton Jr., the Chairman and the Lead of the "Templeton Foretaste", has resolution austere to imperfect a million dollars to the "Circumstances Building for Marriage vows (NOM)" - an anti-gay categorization. Disappointing! I know the indictment preference be that we enfold to distinguish the unconnected from the categorization - but he is "specifically" the Chairman and the Lead. And open-minded to make a greatest supplication, John Templeton Jr. excessively gave money to the the Whopping PAC of Pull Santorum. "Yikes!"
It would be all-embracing that the "Templeton Foretaste", which has been allow projects on spirituality and the location of science & religion, can excessively informant projects on generating pact and understand for "all" at all beings, along with gays. Now "that" would be spiritual!
