Pick your side: Sexualizing our children or not
Assalamo Alaikom all,
I am sending this email to as many Muslim associations and groups as I can
as it is about a topic that should matter to all Muslims in NZ.
1- You must have learned that Destiny Church has created a movement pushing back against
- the Transgender
and Queer sexuality agenda,
- and against its
permeation in our children's schools and society.
Destiny Church is
calling for all NZers to join them in this movement,
and show the
Transgender and Queer activists that
we all are
against their sexuality agenda
and against them using our money for that.
2- In particular, a
protest is taking place on Saturday the 20th at 1:30pm in Britomart,
Auckland
to send them the
message
to keep our children
and children of NZ out of their sexuality agenda (1)
3- We, as believers in the Quran, ought to take part in this protest, and in the whole movement Destiny Church has triggered.
3.1- Allah urges us
to not be an ally to those who spread corruption (2)
Unfortunately,
because we are not opposing the Transgender and Queer activists to use our own tax
money for their perverse work,
we are indirectly their allies.
3.2- Allah also urges us to forbid what is wrong (3)
Unfortunately,
because we are not opposing the Transgender and Queer activists in their corrupting people
we are in clear breach of this command, too.
These are only two points, from the Quran, calling the believers to take action.
But I am sure we'll find more similar calls if we study the Quran a little deeper.
4- But there is a little issue.
Some, in the Muslim community, might not want to associate with Destiny Church in anything, even against the Transgender and Queer activists.
That's their right.
But, then they have to create a similar movement
to signal their opposition to
- perverting people and children (that God has created in a prefect condition)
- and to using our money for that
And who knows, Destiny Church might then see the value and the great potential of the Muslim community and become less critical of it.
It might even start seeking cooperation and collaboration with the Muslim community.
5- In the current confrontation between Destiny Church and the Transgender and Queer activists,
everyone has to pick their side.
As for me,
and in the absence of any similar movement from the Muslim community,
I am compelled by the Quran to go to the Saturday protest, and to join Destiny Church's movement as a whole.
This is the safest position for me to avoid having my deeds canceled out by Allah (4)
Footnotes
(1) The latest on this : Oranga Tamariki may intervene in cases where families resist child's gender transition
(2) the Quran 3:28, 5:57, 11:113, ...
(3) the Quran orders the believers to forbid what is wrong (al munkar) (the Quran 3:104, 3:110, 3:114, 9:71, 9:112, 22:41, 31:17)
(4) the Quran orders the believers to be among almuttaqine. Otherwise, their good deeds risk to be canceled out (the Quran 3:114, 5:26, 49:2)
