Quote:Also, this may be off topic and a little old but I don't want to rake through pages in this thread about Omar's alleged ISIS relation.


Let's consider the following:


ISIS is notorious for being savage and absolutely ruthless towards homosexuals by regularly be heading them and systematically executing them.


Omar was a usual at the Pulse night club. There are also claims that he was a closeted homosexual.

Why would ISIS, knowing of their hate for anything gay, want to claim Omar as one of them when they would certainly execute Omar if they had the chance to?


Doesn't make sense to me.

 

The only, even remotely logical explanation for this would be via Omar being effectively a "non-practicing homosexual"...and I use the term logical very loosely in this instance. Basically, while he may have had homosexual urges and/or tendencies, if he's not acting on them and not engaging in homosexual activity, he might get a something of a pass. Like I said, it's a stretch and I'm no Muslim theologian...but I view it similarly to any other "impure" thought one might have throughout the course of any given day in that as long as you don't act on it it isn't a "real" sin.

 

That might then tie into the last sentence jj wrote that you took issue with...? It obviously wasn't butch queen in drag's first time at a ball (read: Omar's)...and it obviously doesn't take years (not days or weeks...years!!) to scope out a gay club. In a very Bizarro-World way, what he said actually kind of makes sense if filtered through insane, radicalized, religious goggles.
