All Abrahamic faith are clear on position regarding homosexuality, it has no relation to Middle East oil or Saudi Arabia or anything mate. I'm not anti-Islam, I equally criticize all these religions. I just believe humans no longer need these religions. And we can't claim everything is just 'extremist' interpretation, as if the God who made revealed this books made so many mistakes and wasn't sure what he is presenting.
Christians and Jews did the same thing, they blamed 'extreme' or 'literal' interpretations for almost everything in the original scriptures. And they took all of it out, and now they claim they have religion that is compatible with modern world. Sure they do, but they just spit in the face of their God, took out all his commandments, laws, and traditions he ordained upon them, and called it a day. So now, it's okay to drink alcohol, okay to be gay, okay to do pre-marital sex, okay to be unfair to other segments of society(poor), okay to not offer prayer, okay to separate Church and state, etc....
They have legitimized forbidden things in their religion and gave religion entire new meaning. If they truly believed in their God, they would not absolutely disregard him in that way, and put words in his mouth. They do so, because they don't actually believe such a God is real, nor do they believe in hell or heaven, let alone an afterlife. Which means they believe religion is man made, and are at least agnostic if not atheist. So if everyone is agnostic, why not identify as such? Because religion still gives them material benefit, power and influence. They took what they need from it, and dumped the core of it.
And world would be much better off if we were just more honest with ourselves, and moved away from religion.
Apologize, glad you got it now.
