Muzaffarnagar, Jun 29: A leading Islamic seminary on Monday opposed Centre's move to repeal a controversial section of the penal law which criminalises 
homosexuality saying unnatural sex is against the tenets of Islam.

"Homosexuality is an offence under Shariat Law and haram (prohibited) in Islam," deputy vice chancellor of the Darul Uloom Deoband Maulana Abdul Khalik Madrasi said.

Madrasi also asked the government not to repeal section 377 of IPC which criminalises homosexuality.

His objection came a day after law minister Veerappa Moily said a decision on repealing the section would be taken only after considering concerns of all sections of the society, including religious groups like the church.

Terming gay activities as crime, Maulana Salim Kasmi, vice-president of the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), said homosexuality is punishable under Islamic law and section 377 of IPC should not be tampered.

Maulana Mohd Sufiyan Kasmi, an AIMPLB member, and Mufti Zulfikar, president of Uttar Pradesh Imam Organisation have also expressed similar views on the issue.

Kasmi said it would be harmful for the society to legalise gay sex.

Buoyed by the news that the Centre is considering repealing the controversial section of the IPC, members of the gay community on Sunday held parades in several cities.

    All religions of the world are against gay union. Its against the laws of nature and devine laws. God has created every living things in pairs for evolution. Procreation and reproduction is only possible by union between two opposite sex and with legalising gay are we not hindering the process of reproduction and society would lead to chaos and anarchy. H

    omosex is the prime cause of AIDS-mother of all diseases. Mr Moily must take all sections of the all communities into confidence before he acts. The so called moderates and human right activists may advocate it as western culture and a basic human right. But would they allow their brothers,sisters and children to enter into wedlock with same sex partner? Its all hypocrisy and drama.
