Gay Muslim's (Channel 4 @ 8pm GMT)

http://channel4.co.uk/culture/microsites/C/can_you_believe_it/debates/gaymuslims.html

This Channel 4 documentary shows how the experiences of five lesbian and gay Muslims in Britain challenge the heterosexual bias in Muslim communities and illustrate the diversity within Islam.

I find this the most interesting:-

In fact, a number of Islamic scholars point out that the Qur’anic verse, ‘we created you as partners’, need not be limited to male-female couples. There have also already been Muslim gay marriages (nikahs) in the USA, Canada and India.

I'll be watching this program.

Was a very insightful program.

It really made one feel blessed to be straight in a secular society.

Next Monday at 8pm on C4, "Gay Vicars".

"bugger, missed it." :-o

Bet they didn't (pun intended)

Being here in Utah...

Every once in a while there will be newcast (generally on FOX if you believe it) about Gay Mormons and what they are going through to be recognized by their Church.

Look, these cats need to know when to cut their losses.

Hell, if I was raised Mormon and chose(or whatever) a different lifestyle diametrically opposed to my church... I think I would just take the ball and run with it. To hell with trying to convince a bunch that are already in an organization definitly not commited to progressive thought.

As a matter of fact I did. (Not homosexuality) My mother was a Mormon. I became a lover of beer and tobacco (and other things in my high school days). I have never once looked back. Devil take them (or me :-) )... I am completely of the opinion that, if there is a god, he likes beer, smoking, deep fried foods, and Rock & Roll music.

If I am wrong? Well, I guess I'm going to a place where there will be a consensus on beer, smoking, deep fried foods, and Rock & Roll music.

If heaven is for the run of dopey, square Mormons or Relgious murderers then cast me into the pit BABY :-D ... The Pit of Goodness and I'll burn in Rock & Roll Paradise.

Well, that is to say... if God exists.

I wonder if the Islamists and the Mormons know that threats of terrorist bombs and green jello w/ shreded carrots (washed down w/ "Orange Drink" of course) are the tools of the devil. And that it is exactly this sort of activism committing us heretics to hell?

Wait a mintue :-o Perhaps THEY are servants of the real Devil? After all, scripture says it is only a select few to obtain paradise and the devil IS tricky. :-D

Think of that the next time an "oh-so-mellow" Mormon missionary rings your doorbell...

On your doorstep sits an Imp from the Abyss. :-D

Wait a minute Perhaps THEY are servants of the real Devil? After all, scripture says it is only a select few to obtain paradise and the devil IS tricky.

That's a good point! The preachers could be the true servants of the devil? :idea:

@Karlos:

Precisely why I was extending a welcome to him. ;-)

:-D

A resident of The Black Country (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Country)

Such as this lot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slade)

Black Country dialect

The traditional Black Country dialect is very old, and can be very confusing for outsiders. The language is said to be a throw back to Middle English and still contains words such as Thee, Thy and Thou. "'Ow B'ist", meaning "How beist thou?" is a common greeting, with the typical answering being "'Bay too bah", meaning "I bayn't be too bad". "I haven't seen her" becomes "I ay sid 'er". Somebody from the Black Country will often substitute the word "ar" instead of "yes".

Inhabitants are proud to be known as Black Country "folk" and resist hints at any relationship to people living in Birmingham, calling Birmingham "Brum-a-jum" (Birmingham's colloquial name is Brummagem). Residents of Birmingham (Brummies) meanwhile often refer to their Black Country neighbours as "Yam Yams", a reference to the use of "Yow am" instead of "You are".

As you can see, they speak a load of old bollocks. :-)

Have to say, I find it hilarious to think your average "mumble with a pillow in one's mouth" brummie feels he has the right to take the p*ss out of someone else's accent :lol:

The only people in the world that are deluded enough to think that Brummie's and Yam Yam's don't have the same accent, are Brummies.

Everyone else knows they sound the same. :lol:
