Perspective: Love for all, but some actions cannot be loved | Nameer Bhatti

I would like to see reformation of this behavior, and prevent a destruction to this great country, like that which over took the people of Lot.

To the Editor:

I agree with Jeb Bush’s comment that “we should love our neighbor and respect others,” though I could never love an action that finds so much displeasure in the sight of God.

We learn in the Bible (Genesis 19) and in the Qur’an (26:160) about the story of Prophet Lot and his people. Prophet Lot urged his people to mend their homosexual ways and turn to God in forgiveness. After countless warnings and indifference in changing their wicked habits, God destroyed the town of Sodom, saving only Lot and his family and creating a new pious generation.

I will never hate a homosexual. As the motto of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community states, “Love for all, hatred for none.” However, I would like to see reformation of this behavior, and prevent a destruction to this great country, like that which over took the people of Lot.
