Gay Muslim Mother Forced to Resign Muslim Org Board After Son

>>133763292
We chose not to have that for our son. We wanted him to be the best human being possible.

When he chose Paul, we agreed to support him to settle down. It has been a painful and challenging journey that only a mother can understand. Who can that mother then seek support from without being judged?

In moments of darkness, I realized that the only way for Ali to live an authentic life and not have to hide and fear rejection was to give him space to reach his human potential as God’s creation. After that God knows best. The only person to judge my son would be God on the Day of Judgment. If a compassionate God provides sustenance to every human being, who am I to deprive my son of that sustenance?

I did this as a mother who carried Ali Reza in my womb for nine months and nurtured him. How could I as a Mother discriminate against my own Son and if my God is so just, then how could I not take on this value of Justice and act on it. When I reflect back through mine and my Son’s journey I am convinced that his orientation is Nature and not Nurture. Like Ali Reza expressed many times, “that if he could flick a switch and not be Gay, he would do it in a heartbeat”.

If Ali Reza was your son, what would you do?

We recently wrote about a “gay Muslim marriage” in the UK. It was celebrated by the media but turned out to be a heartbreaking story because the Muslim groom’s family was nowhere to be found on the day of his wedding.

Even if he was culturally Muslim (whatever that means) and he found a way to reconcile his faith with his sexual orientation, no other Muslim appeared to be getting on board.

There was another “gay Muslim” wedding this month that didn’t receive nearly the same amount of attention. It took place in Vancouver, between Ali Reza (who belongs to a sect called Shi’a Ithna-Asheri, a.k.a. Khoja) and his partner Paul. And unlike the UK couple, Ali’s family gave him their full support.

Over the past few days, there have been public condemnations of the wedding from Khoja religious leaders around the world, and a petition by “a group of Muslim youth in North America” circulated calling for the resignation of Ali Reza’s mother Siddika Jessa from her position as Secretary General of NASIMCO, the Organization of North American Shia Ithna-asheri Muslim Communities. They also wanted the resignation of the NASIMCO’s President Mohamed A. Dewji — because he knew about this wedding in advance and didn’t openly condemn it.

Again, these are young Muslims from North America. Not radicals from the Middle East.

The petition has received nearly 1,000 signatures so far.

And it worked. Siddika Jessa quickly resigned from her position — but not before writing an open letter to her critics. It’s really a beautiful letter because of how she doesn’t back away from supporting her son.

It is indisputable that the Secretary General, Mrs. Siddika Jessa, took part in the same-sex wedding of her son. The wedding was celebrated openly and proudly, with #AliandPaul2017 hashtag on social media. While we believe it is not necessary to extensively or deeply examine the personal lives of the members of NASIMCO, this incident cannot be dismissed as “the personal lives of the Jessa family.” Traditionally, a wedding is a public demonstration of a relationship. This sin was not done in private, but rather was publicly celebrated and promoted. It goes against the legitimate majoritarian interpretations of Jaffari fiqh, which NASIMCO must uphold.
…
It has been confirmed by several sources that the President of NASIMCO, Mr. Mohamed A. Dewji, was aware of the wedding for several months in advance. Unfortunately, no public action was taken by him, or any member of the NASIMCO committee until after the news went viral on on July 11, 2017. His inaction reflects a lack of commitment to, first and foremost, stand by the Islamic principles that must guide the leadership of NASIMCO.
…
As a result, we find no other option than to state that Mrs. Siddika Jessa…, Mr. Mohamed A. Dewji, and the current Executive Council of NASIMCO must resign, either willingly or forcefully. The leadership of our valued organization, NASIMCO, must be those who strive to uphold and promote the values, ideals and practices of the Islamic Shi’a Ithna-Asheri faith, and this is done by action — not mere reactionary statements. As youth in North America, we stand firm that we need a committee that will support us in strengthening our faith, especially with the challenges that come with being a Muslim in the West, considering our current political climate. We value the work of NASIMCO, and many of us in the past have benefited from the camps, trainings, and conferences held by previous committees, so we are heavily invested in the outcome of this incident.

/pol/ doesn't want to acknowledge this story because their cognitive dissonance around Islam's congruity with virtually all of /pol/'s values would be #triggered.
