is this true about Hadrat Khadija and the Holy Prophet (PBUH)?

[abdulwahhab]

Actually this is true. I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday, that shouldn't homo be used for 'humans'.

It reminds me of Shaykh Deedat and his quote on 'happy and gay'.

It isn't fair that all nice words are being used as sordid terms nowadays. Words that were used in my childhood now have filthy rotten connotations.

But I digress.

The term "homo" that is used in the context of homosexuality is not the same as the term Homo that is used to define the genus that humans belong to (in scientific terms, the term Homo is not analogous to humans, either, since science includes different species based on the current understanding of "human evolution").

We can see this from the opposite of homosexuality, which is heterosexuality. So, "homo" means "like" or "similar" in this context, just how homogeneous and heterogeneous are distinguished from each other. Maybe a capitalized "H" in "Homo" suffixed by a dash would be more appropriate: Homo-phobia.

I suppose Abu Harris is saying the same thing.

What it all amounts to is that we can not even complain about homophobia.

Here is another Islamophobe offering similar sentiments on the event involving Hazrat Khadija (RA).

By now I have watched it full. I recommend it. Dave Hunt is very spiteful in his presentation by by the time the debate ended I had enormous sympathy for him. Shabir Ally was completely cool and made extremely good use of his time and shown through it like a sun. By now he is my favourite. He has much ahead of Dr Zakir Naik. He is in the Shaikh Ahmed Deedat league. It was a different experience to listen to him. He does not have the militancy of Deedat, no show of Zakir Naik and he focuses on the argument and common sense and the factual reality and that Allah (SWT) has accepted his efforts is already the thought that comes you your mind naturally.

[mh16388]

i'll take your word for it.

[Saqqib_Ali]

Alright why did you allow the term homo to be hijacked in the first place.
Shouldn't Homo Sapiens have the first right on the word homo?

These are our mst learned!

your sarcasm is not welcome. the gentleman is a Professor. show some respect, even if he is not a barelvi.

and read what abuharris said.

MH yours truly is not a full professor. And moreover the brother knows something along these lines which he is using to his supposed advantage. He is passing through a phase and needs some time to over come his stumbling blocks. To bring around people like him to the side of Islam is precisely the task for which I started my Internal Dawah thread. Like many spiritual tasks this one too is an spiritual task. And the spiritual tasks are the most difficult tasks. The implication is that we have a difficult task at our hands and we should expect strong resistance. In fact the task is difficult and extensive enough that a life can be fruitfully be invested in this task with expectation of greatest rewards in the hereafter. Of course Allah (SWT) is Al-Hadi too and He (SWT) might change the hearts of all Muslims so that all of them will put their weight behind Islam. It might happen just in front of our eyes. A telephone was a an exotica yesterday while today even public buses in some countries are on GPS. But it does require patience on our part in our efforts to bring people to the side of Islam. And let me re-iterate that I mean the object is to bring resourceful Muslims to the mindset in which they support Islam and Ummah rather than oppose it. It is in addition to the Tabligh work and the Dawah work amongst non-Muslims.

Finally I did not intend at all to divulge my position. I wanted to keep it unknown and allow people to make their own image. Intention was to keep the focus on Islam. I do derive benefits from my position but that is in my professional field. Apart from my field of expertize, whatever little it is, I am a lay person every where else and I prefer it that way. It is Allah (SWT)'s decision and hence it is best for me and everybody else. Being an unknown nobody saves you from love of fame and thus protects your Ikhlas.

Saqqib my reply was meant for MH not to everybody though the statement is rightfully in the public sector. Think of this in the following way. Suppose you are talking to your father in public and I reply by way of interjection. This will not be most appropriate action on my part.
