Disney is a weird company, at some point it cancelled its own movies like Dumbo because of singing crows and peter pan because of indiands- Disney deemed these cartoons as not suitable for children, and yet they promote gay characters even altering exsisting non-sexual character as gay. I think this shows that major companies do have agendas. we certainly dont want children become Desmond Queer Kid.

Notice, it states God PREFERS for people to be in LGBT relationships. Jesus, David, and Joseph were all transgender and Jesus is returning as a woman. God created them male and female, determined by gender, located in the brain. I am Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6. In Deuteronomy, it states nobody was castrated back then. But, that is what God wanted people to think so they wouldnt take it out of the Bible. As Elijah, any discrepancies in the Bible are ultimately decided by me. I can't prove I am Elijah, but people keep telling me I'm about to be announced to the world. My destiny is to usher in the Messiah! Anyone that teaches same-sex marriage is a sin will die with the wicked by their own choice. Anyone selling anything using the gospel or teaching the LIE of monetary tithing will also die with the wicked. Romans is not referring to Eunuchs where one partner is transgender. Plus, God is the one who did it because they were trying to procreate during orgies. Lev., Corinthians, and Timothy are referring to pedophilia. Billy Graham the wolf translated the Bible wrong....

I remember my cousin, who had that feminine trait, but we never thought of him as someone who was interested in same sex, rather he got married like any other male and had children and family. My younger sister, as they say in the West, was a bit of a tomboy, but we never even imagined she was a lesbian, or someone who would become one. She too is married happily to a man. But it seems today, if you have those tendencies, we immediately attribute to them these labels. World has become a strange place indeed. Hard to fathom some of these things. I'm glad I'm not a young person having to navigate through all these social constructs that plague our society today.

[@eischerschwederm7876]

It true, I also knew two people. One was a male with female habit who later married and had kids and another was my female school mate was like a male almost in every of her habit and apperance. And am sure she married because she had by then a boy friend and she never thought of her engaging in homosexual behavior

Homosexuality - as in clinically, is a biological phenomenon. Maybe they had to hide their biological instinct of attraction to the same sex, due to social pressures and got married. I hope they are straight because that would be easier for them.

Thanks also to the incredible Dr Carl.

I love these longer videos Paul, keep it up. So many people want bite sized videos where you can hardly even get rudimentary knowledge on a topic, let alone in depth knowledge that we require to be able to combat the LGBTQ idea comprehensively. Also, Dr El Tobgui is a fantastic scholar. Both his works on Ibn taymiyyah and this topic has been incredible.

That was a great episode and I consider myself knowledgeable about the subject but Dr. Sharief has a great way of organizing thoughts. The most important part is to defy the whole paradigm. I kind of understood that before but never had the proper phrasing and properly expressing it. Hats off Paul for the esteemed guest and to you on being on such high level of keeping up as a host and moderator for such difficult lecture. May Allah reward you for your efforts

[@convencia1]

I’m blown away by this fantastic podcast. So comprehensive and lots of resources. So generous of Prof Carl to share your tremendous knowledge of this really important issue. As an activist this is a really important resource, I’ve been so confused about the issue but you’ve just clarified most if not all of my queries. And for providing the Western historical and Islamic context. As a grandparent I’m really worried about what the kids are being taught and what they are surrounded by in books, cartoons, films etc. Thank you so much! I’m disseminating everywhere. For four hours without a break! You need to be commended. I’ve stopped and started for food and comfort breaks during the four hours, but you’ve gone through straight. All credit to you both! And thank you Paul I came across your blog recently and since then I’ve been on it daily! What we’ve desperately needed in the community.

[@juxtapositionMS]

Absolutely fascinating. It took me two days to finish watching it - first two and half hours and then rest of the one and half an hour. But before that I downloaded the presentation. After going through the presentation I decided to watch it because I am always skeptical in the beginning. The well structured presentation is so enlightening that I couldn't resist watching the whole video and learned a lot... lot more. Looks like a whole package or set of Islamic knowledge on the issue. Of course I knew most of it as a Muslim but it's the whole set of information structured in such an amazing way that glued me with the lecture for four hours. Again a great source of knowledge that answers all the question people may have on the ongoing corruption. Whenever someone asks or tries to create confusion I can easily direct him/her to this beautiful presentation. And more to add, it's presented in a completely unapologetic way just like brother Daniel Haqiqatjou does- no wishy-washy or cover up has been used here. Thank you Dr. Sharif and thank you Mr. William for such a great resource.

I watched all of this in two takes and I must admit this has been the most comprehensive, enlightening (hate this word for its aftertaste lol) and in-depth lecture on the topic of LGBT and everything that it contains and entails I have ever seen! I am just absolutely speechless and humbled and can’t thank you two enough for bringing this out! It is videos like these that cheer me up and kind of recharge me and make me walk again with my head held high, not in the sense of becoming arrogant - may Allah preserve us - but rather to be just confident and unapologetic about my perfect faith. Because in this day and age your heart just becomes more and more tired, hearing the same kind of paroles day in day out, being forced to surround yourself with the indecency of these people as you step outside the house. And so you can’t help but sink into this deep melancholy, especially if you have children who visit public school and you are not even allowed to homeschool. I had one of these phases for the past few days again and it was this video that pulled me out, may Allah reward you! I need to find a way to translate this for the German audience! The maximum time I translated was a 2 hour long video, which took me about 2 weeks. So I highly assume this is going to take me an entire month, but I am so motivated and determined! May Allah ease the way! Thanks Paul for everything you put out there! Your content always makes me feel so hopeful and especially nourishes me intellectually each and every time! May Allah bless and preserve you

[@dvsavocs5290]

I feel the same way about being surrounded by these people as you step outside your house and I'm not even religious. Also great work trying to translate it, keep it up!

[@IbnThabitVerlag]

​@@dvsavocs5290 Well, to me it always feels like a fresh breeze of air meeting with people at a common ground, no matter where they are coming through, if religious or not, who still manage to see through all this madness and insanity in the world because this is truly rarity these days in the midst of the mainstream marionette. Thanks for your support!

جزاك الله خيرا Very important lecture!

[@Adam-bw6xt]

Thanks for this, Paul

[@MY-cj1sg]

Islam and LGBT don't mix fullstop !

[@nsh9828]

Thank you very much for your time and contribution both of you. Salam.

[@khadizaali6155]

This was the longest discussion I've sat through and it was worth every second! What a wonderfully articulated, organized, thorough and respectful delivery of such an intricate topic!!! Thank you so much for giving us the tools to help ourselves, our family and our community ❤️ may Allah protect us all and give us the strength to stay on the straight path! (No pun intended 😉)

[@arifabd]

What a blessed channel this is!

[@IbnThabitVerlag]

01:12:29 as a native German speaker, I was so surprised when the brother switched to German here, without any accent even xD I had to pause for a second lol

[@Muhammadmodassirali]

Jazaakum Allahu khayran Sidi Paul. Just what I was looking for.

[@noneya3969]

Jazak Allah Khair for making the presentation available 🙏🕋❤️

[@abuakmal9618]

The reason I subscribed to KZbin premium is so that I can watch and hear long videos on our Deen uninterrupted.

[@silkydude]

I can't believe the sheer amount of content on this channel

[@muhammedrahman1280]

Yes thank you Paul. Very timely. We need more content like this across the different platforms and more awareness needs to be raised We should be able to engage, discuss and show them how they are overstepping the limits that they have by now enforcing it on others

[@unknown9901]

I haven’t watched the video. It probably still doesn’t have the right definition of what gender nor sex is or how they differ. Nor covers the fact that gender is false and not real. But from what ur saying it sounds weird. Lgbtq+ have no limits now that u are allowed to prescribe. They are allowed to live. They are no where near enforcing it on others either. Also having to see them and not being able to act ignorant or uneducated of basic biology, puberty, hormones and sexuality is not enforcing either.

[@momonasri8611]

Absolutely enjoyed, informative and educational may Allah swt reward the Ustadh in this dunya and hereafter ameen 🤲🏼

[@millionfish]

Brother Paul, I'm so glad to have discovered your channel! May Allah S.W.T bless you and grow your channel even more!

[@rsza5911]

Paul....you will love this. A British woman was critical of a transwoman competing in the female swimming championships. She was challenged by a supporter of LGBTQ.....who accuses her of being ignorant as she was not a Biologist!.....and after a brief pause she responds ...." I may not be a Vet....but I know what a Dog looks like!"....that was the end of that discussion 🤭

[@ABID_KHAN_007]

Super Amazing video. Love you guys love you so much... Watch full podcast. Thank you fr making this video. From india ❤️

[@zundubi]

Brilliant work both of you

[@faryals0862]

This might be my single go-to resource for the future whenever I need some clarification on the topic of L*BTQ+. So comprehensive masha Allah! Kudos to you both brother Paul and Sheikh Carl Sharif.

[@feezalhussain1977]

the longest video in BT ❤👍 best explaination n very detail..keep up the long video bro paul 😁😍

[@sirusThu]

Thanks God that he guided you to Islam Prof. Paul. You are doing an amazing job.

[@mimelnaggar]

Thank you very much for the effort of conducting such a lengthy presentation . I however cannot possibly have the time or patience to complete such a lengthy video. I assume it is the same situation for many others. May I ask Paul if at all possible you can put another presentation with highlights of such lengthy presentation to represent an abbreviated summary of it. Brevity is the soul of wit …

[@carlososler7024]

Very insightful video, thanks brother Paul and the Professor.

[@samaramaxutova6777]

Mashallah! What a conversation and enlightening information! God bless you both for clear explanation of the subject which was a murky one to me! May Allah SWT help those who struggle on their way being muslims. Jazakallahu Khairan, brothers! Assalam Aleykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh!

[@ash4h]

Think I'm going to watch this at double speed 🚀 still 2 hours of great stuff

[@mnoorbhai]

may Allah reward you immensely for putting up this tremendous work free for the benefit of mankind , a conferable effort . A must read for those anti Islam , LGBT , atiests , etc who need to enlighten themselves . Amazing work !!

[@YRCHDVideos]

Such an incredible talk from start to finish

[@noormohamed-db1ux]

my main issue with the world today is that intellectual discussion like this don't seem to sway people who are fully invested in entertainment and their feelings. In fact, it seems that a large majority of the world population especially those in western countries care little about facts and history and more about the entertainment value of it all. They feign intellectual integrity while wisping away in blind tomfoolery. It's very hard to convince people who choose their desires over the facts of the matter.

[@a145m20]

What a treasure this channel is! May Allah give you more strength Br. Paul!

[@razmiihsan8897]

Alhamdulillah. Finished listening until the end while repairing my house roof and driving. 🤣🤣🤣. Very good podcast . Jazakallahu khairan to both men.

[@mash0000]

Dear Paul and Dr. Carl, I sincerely express my gratitude for this timely and comprehensive discussion on a politically charged sensitive topic that the progressive left is trying to shove down the throat of every religious community. The deconstruction of the topic and additional references all will become a permanent resource for Muslims, Christians, and other religious communities. May God bless you both. I can feel the passion Dr Carl has for this topic. I am amazed how both of you sat through for four hours straight ( pun accidental 🙂 ). Talking 4 hrs straight without a break, that is phenomenal Dr Carl. May God Almighty reward you and bless you both.

[@fmvrpv3509]

Thankyou Bro Paul and Carl... may Allah bless you both... Insyaallah

[@arthurmorgan4942]

I been following paul before paul even had a channel. Love this brother and always believed youtube and these kind of videos are for him. Beautifully done

[@SheikhAlladeen]

without the christian west Muslims would not even have printed Qurans. They started printing Quran 400y after christian invention of letter press. What kind of advanced culture did the Bedouins have ? The big thinkers of the golden islamic age were all from conqoured contries. Muslims biggest imperialist ever. And who cares about centuries ago. Show me progress today. The roman Empire ruled the known word those days who cares.. Islam has nothing to show for and nothing to offer today. If everything I use every day would come from islamic countries and I would still say the west is better that would make me a Munafiq. But Allah allows sxx with 5y olds and Muslims can bang virgins in Jannah thats nice kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZe8k4ipg7KfpMk
