A hadith depicts Muhammad specifying the punishment for homosexual activity: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.’” (Sunan Abu Dawud 4462)
“LGBTI+ Pride picnic canceled after being targeted,” Bianet, June 17, 2022:
A picnic that LGBTI+ university students planned as part of LGBTI Pride Month activities in Istanbul University Beyazıt Campus was targeted by some religious groups today (June 17).
A crowd chanting “Takbir, Allah-u Ekber” (Allah (God) is the greatest) and “Beyazit is ours and will remain ours” gathered in front of the university campus and threatened the LGBTI+s.
The group also chanted slogans of hatred against the LGBTI+s.
After that, the vegan picnic, which was planned by the İstanbul University Equality Society – BÜLGBTİ+, has been canceled due to security concerns….
The crowd that gathered in front of the campus posted a video from an account with the name “Seven Crescent İstanbul University”. In the video, a message that says “There is no place for these deviants, neither on our campuses nor in a single inch of this country! Beyazıt belongs to Muslims!” was shared.
Upon the threats, the Istanbul University Equality Society – BÜLGBTİ+ warned LGBTI+ students to go to safe areas and announced that the picnic has been canceled.

Beheadings, genocide and child rape?
All fine for Turkish Muslims.

Who would have thought that Pride and Submission don’t mix well?

“targeted by some religious groups”
no wondering just which “religious groups” “targeted” the alphabet people’s picnic. But the wording helps to paint others as culprits.

Darn good question, Somehistory.

More precisely, other than Mohammedans, which other religious groups are there in Istanbul?
somehistory says

Lucky they weren’t all thrown off a tall building.

And the Turks have the audacity to call for an end to “Islamophobia”.
Their hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Turkey: Muslims screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ force cancellation of LGBTI+ Pride picnic
…………………………………………..
Pious Muslim mobs always threaten violence.
And this is the reason why the largest “Palestinian” gay rights organization is actually based in Israel.
Andrew Blackadder says
I hope The Left, the Drag Queens and all the feminists across the Western World take note of this ”Pride Parade show/picnic”…
If you do not understand your enemy… You have already lost the battle…Art of War.
I cant imagine why some Gay folks would even try this in that country.
OLD GUY says
LGBTI+ picnic in muslim land? Not the brightest of moves. Now if I were a member of this LGBTI+ group or a Feminist Group I would recommend marching and protesting for your HUMAN RIGHTS in front of the Muslim/Islamic embassies around the world. Because it’s obvious that ISLAM/Muslims are promoting discrimination and violence against both LGBTI+ and Women in their countries.
