I recently read an article on BBC about ISIS killing gays in Syria, this issue as put me in a state of dilemma because;
1. I am homophobic: I recently wrote an article about gay marriage and in that article I expressly ruled out the heinous desire for a man to love another man or have sexual relation with a felllow man. Furthermore I gave an example of "A's any person seen a male dog have sexual relation with a male dog?"
2. I am a pacifist: In Mahat Gandhi words violence doesn't resolve any problem it rather worsens it. I believe that shroud penalty shouldn't not be sanctioned on offenders of homosexuals . There are peaceful methods in which this sect can use to enforce what they claim to be justified.
Now the Dilemma....
ISIS as been known to be an extremist Islamic group with the aim of upholding the name of Allah and eliminating all infidels. And now in recent news I read they killing gays.
Should I support the act of killing this gays in Syria since am homophobic? At least if all gays in Syria dies, it's going to reduce the number of homosexuals in the world.
But on the long run if I support the killing of homosexuals in Syria it means am supporting violence and the term pacifist will be removed from biography.
This are the issues I have been pondering on for hours now. This is the philosophical dilemma Lebi Olubunmi Titus is caught up in.
