Because homosexuality is prohibited in Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. We take pride that Islam is the only one with the courage to stick to its roots without appeasing the latest fad of the day. This is a testament that it has not undergone corruption.

> Because homosexuality is prohibited in Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. This is simply false as a generalization of Judaism and Christianity. For that matter, it seems to be untrue as a generalization of Islam, as well, as their are organized Islamic groups that deny that the anti-gay stance is doctrinally valid, juat as there are in the other two groups. In all three there is a historical nominal prohibition of homosexuality, in at least Islam and Christianity that got treated a lot more seriously than it was for moat of history sometime in the last couple centuries, and in all three there are modern movements, and both organized groups with distinct clergy that reject the traditional prohibition and movements within organized groups that still uphold the prohibition which nevertheless reject it. None can claim to be the only one to stick universally to the prohibition without playing No True Scotsman (which, to be fair, religious groups historically do a lot of.)

  It is definitely true in Christianity and Judaism: https://biblehub.com/leviticus/20-13.htm https://biblehub.com/leviticus/20-13.htm It is absolutely, unconditionally true in Islam. It is established in Islam that anyone who denies a core established aspect of the religion (the term used is معلوم من الدين بالضرورة) is no longer Muslim. For example, you can't be a Muslim if you deny the Oneness of God. Homosexuality is absolutely and clearly prohibited in the Quran and many Hadiths, e.g.[1][2]. These things are not open to interpretation at all. > None can claim to be the only one to stick universally to the prohibition without playing No True Scotsman Attempting to apply a fallacy to where it doesn't apply is a fallacy in and of itself. I'm sure you won't entertain when a flat earther or antivaxxer applies the no true scotsman. At some point, we have laws and clear cut texts that are not open to interpretation. The prohibition of homosexuality in Islam is one of them. Anyone who attempts to deny it can be trivially torn apart because the texts are so clear and unanimous. Those "groups" you're referring to are laughable, and have no understanding of the basics of Arabic, let alone Quran and Hadith knowledge, Arabian history, scholarly consensus, etc. [1] https://quran.com/26/165-166 https://quran.com/26/165-166 [2] https://quran.com/7/81-82 https://quran.com/7/81-82
