Voluntary homosexuality in Islamic and Iraqi laws (a comparative study)

Abstract

There is unanimity in all the heavenly laws and the great majority of the statutes to criminalize voluntary homosexuality, because this practice kills jealousy, masculinity, fraternity, and vices, so that only bad men and women would be engaged in it. However, this phenomenon has not been eradicated but still in human culture and passed on from generation to generation. It had supporters from various segments of society; but on the other hand, practicing homosexuality has been condemned and depreciated by society, bringing shame and embarrassment on the participants, before being punishable.However, the dangerous thing is to be done in the last two decades of the last century to practice and boasting of belonging to a group of supporters of homosexuality. But even worse, becoming their propositions and the views of its supporters under interest of the United Nations and the international community which is struggling to legalization and moral legitimacy in its practice under the pretext of respect for sexual freedom and human rights.
