The Western concept of Sex VS Islamic view of Sex. This is not an outcome of a research study. It is entirely based on my shallow observation as a writer. You can challenge me it you want.
Sex in the Western view
Sex belongs to no identity
It has an identity of its own
It can not be related to gender
It is not feminine nor masculine
It is an urge of its own making
A burning desire coming from within
An impulse that bursts into its banks
With some rules, though to regulate it
No fear or taboos associated with it
No soul is a prisoner of its sexual orientation
Freedom of happiness is a constitutional right
So long as one stays away from trouble
But sex in the Islamic context is different
It has to be made within a frame of law
Outside the Sharia premises sex is forbidden
Sex outside marriage is punishable by death
No matter whether the accused is young or old
They just go ahead with their execution plans
In Somalia today a girl was stoned to death
She was accused of cheating around with men
While her killers cheat every minute of the day
They cast the first stone as if they are clean
Between these worlds a poet is torn apart
His name is Abdi-Noor Mohamed
Islam is not the problem
It is the clerics who misinterpret it
Every time I talk to Him I ask to forget about forgiving and give those ungodly pedophiles priests and bloodthirsty mullahs and ayatollas a little of their own medicine, after all He should be in the side of the innocent and punish "now and here" those monsters that are desecrating His name.
Absolutely heartbreaking, Abdi-Noor. Who is perfect? Who is judge, to judge another? The Bible says, "Judge not, lest ye be judged." (And it goes on to say for whatever measure you measure out, it shall be meted unto you again. Or something like that.) A heartbroken poet shares his pain ... you are in my prayers.
Those who have not sinned, cast the first stone. We all have sinned and come short of the glory of our Creator. This is so painful Abdi-Noor, for a sex is such a beautiful thing when shared between two people in love. Bless you Abdi for sharing this sad and painful write with us. Love and hugs, Bonnie
