BBC: Gay Muslim story for EastEnders
EastEnders is to tackle a storyline which will feature a Muslim man embarking upon a gay affair. Newcomer Syed Masood, played by Marc Elliott, will fall for openly gay man Christian Clarke (John Partridge) and the pair will share an on-screen kiss. [...] Yusuf Wehebi from Imaan – an organisation that supports gay Muslims – agreed with him. “It is high time that the invisible minority became a visible minority,” he said. “It is entirely possible to be Muslim and gay and there’s many of us in Britain today.
[Article continues at link. Well, sure, it's entirely possible to be Muslim and gay. Just like it's possible to be a vegetarian and eat meat, or a virgin and have sex. As long as one of the two things you are is clearly defined and the other is a synonym of "being good" then you're good. If being a vegetarian, or a virgin, or a Muslim are your way of saying "being good" then you can "be good" and be anything else too. This is why religion spends so very much time claiming it is synonymous with morals and ethics and "being good." If you argue against religion, you're arguing against "being good." So if Yusuf Wehebi is gay and "good" and "good" means Muslim, then sure. But it's a kind of Muslim in which being a Muslim has nothing to do with being a Muslim. Not following the Quran, not following Muhamed, not following Muslim leaders, not following the Muslim majority, not following Muslim governments. If you take out all these, what is left of being a Muslim? If you have an axe consisting of a handle and a head, and you take off the head, and you take away the handle, do you still have the axe? Wehebi uses "Muslim" as shorthand for "being good." It's not unlike something recently posted at feminisnt [NSFW]: “In general, I’m tired of ‘feminist’ being used as a blanket qualifier to mean ‘awesome’, especially when it comes to the concept of feminist porn. I think ‘awesome’ works just fine as a qualifier for awesome.” Islam isn’t a good thing that a few people twist into something awful. Islam is something awful that a few people twist into something good. Rather than make one’s sexual behavior accommodate the superstitions of illiterate goat thieves from thousands of years ago, maybe… maybe it’s okay to just have sex and not worry about what an invisible monster that lives in the sky thinks about it. – Trevor Blake]
