we can't..because by your logic..children born to crack mothers should not be addicted to crack then?..... Wow now you're likening gays to crack babies.. That is such a prejudiced ignorant statement.

She has pictures of her parents Prince Aly Khan and Rita Hayworth. It's a beautifully designed apartment. Enjoy! http://www.architecturaldi...

Hazir Imam has also given a speech in Karachi in the past about human relations and how things that have traditionally been wrong are being tolerated and then accepted and this should not happen. Homosexuality is implicit in this IMHO. Hazir Imam in farmans has talked about the value syste...

Let's talk about this with reason as our faith is a one of reason. How can you reasonably say it is a sin to have sex before marriage. Let's say that two...
