I know islam plays no part in politics, but i’m curious about ordinary
people in Azerbaijan
Allah anara da, vuqara da hidayet versin, eger bilerekden Allahin yolundan
chixiblarsa, Allah onlari ister insanlarin eli ile, ister tebii quvvelerin
ve ya bedbext hadiselerin elleri ile, isterse de ozu birbawa cezalandiracaq
inwAllah!
I think either Albania and Azerbaijan are the least religious. However
tradition still very much prevails. Just because people are secular that
mean they automatically tolerate it. This isn’t western Europe. I know many
secular people who still don’t think homosexuality is natural.
it will take time, i mean if you can a gay pride then its better then other
places for example Saudi Arabia which is a instant beheading ; and after
years when generation die off from the first influence of Russian orthodox
the citizen will form their own views and create their own world more then
likely homosexuality will become more accepted in the future.
@quzeyli Sene axira qeder qatiliram…

I’m muslim. what do you mean by diverse exactly?
Siz uwaqlarinizi yoldan chixardan pozgunlara hormet edersiniz? Men ana kimi
buna razi deyilem, menim uwaqimi weytan yoluna chekene men hormet etmirem,
ele azghinlara hormet etsem, demeli bizi Yaradan Allaha ve onun
Peygemberlerine (sas) ve Onun Resuluna (sas) hormetsizlik etmis olaram.
Bunlare ne qeder uz veribler ki, gelib ekrana chixirlar? Kim bunlari
qudurdub?
So what was the ottoman empire? Or do you mean most ataturk?
No one becomes gay, they born gay! Nikto ne stanovitsa geem, on rojdaetsa
im! Hech kes gey olmur, o gey olaraq dogulur. Then I have a question : You
people say, “We respect and love all, whom God created”. Togda ya zadayu
vam vopros: Vi lyudi govorite”Mi lyubim i uvajaem vsex tex kto Bogom
sozdan”. Ona size sualim var: Siz insanlar deyirsiniz ki “Biz Allah
yaratdigi her kesi sevirik”
continue being hateful bigots, congratulations, and good luck doing
business with the u.s.! lol loser

yanlis yoldur… Bir az da onlari basa dusun hec vaxt bele bir sey barede
dusunmeyibler ve siz indi gelib deyirsiz bu normaldir… Umid edirem ki, ne
demek istediyimi basa dusdunuz…
The fact that Azerbaijan IS so progressive in the economic sense and YET so
backward on gay rights is the thing that strikes me as so unfortunate.
Being gay is a creation of God. It is NOT a choice. If it is a choice and
you are straight, than can you BE gay? If you say ‘no’ than you must say
the same for gay people. No gay person chooses to be gay, just like no
straight person chooses to be straight. We are all the different ways we
are because of our divine nature.
In a progressive MUSLIM country and according to Islam, such things are not
considered right to do. God has created a man and a woman for a reason.
Majority of the population is against such acts, but those who want to be
gay, well, will then not look good in the public eye and that is their
choice.
Umumən, geylerin coxsu usaqlarini yoldan cixaranlar deyil. Eksine dunyada
usaqlara ən ugurlu tərbiyə verenlerdən birləri məs onlardi. Fakt. Coxsuda
usaglarina azad seçim verir. bu menim baxişimdir
Well I would say that ordinary people in Azerbaijan – Regardless of their
Religion – do not like the “idea” of gays being public. This is something
coming from the people themselves and not necessarily from religious
beliefs (even though they may be related in some cases).
However disagree that homosexuals are killed or intimidated habitually.
True that some straight guys occasionally may have attacked gay prostitutes
and beaten some up to stop open gay prostitution and accidentally one or
two were killed in those beatings but unless gay people cross the limit set
by the Azeries normal system of morsl values, they are fine and are not
intimidated just for the sake of it.
I’m not saying being Gay is a disorder, I was using that as an example.
There are people who are gay without a choice and there are people who have
to oppurtunity to change accordingly.
kim yatagina kimi aparirsa os ishidi, istiyir pishiyi sevsin istiyir iti.

This does not involve people being created with an appeal to gayness, but
for ones which have a choice, they will be making a mistake by choosing to
be gay and they have no one to blame but themselves. There may be people
born with disorders making gayness seem appealing and it is quite obvious
god has created them this way and that is an exception, people who make the
choices are what disturbs majority of the Azeri population.
The ones that you refer to as having the “opportunity to change
accordingly” are not gay but they are BISEXUAL. These men & women are
attracted to BOTH women & men. It is like a black and white colour scale,
with black & white on opposite ends & in the middle there are all the
different shades of grey colour. The bisexual people represent the grey
colour. Many people think gays can change their sexuality because they
confuse them with bisexuals. Gays are not bisexuals. it is a separate group.

Allah elelerine hidayet versin, Allah onlara hidayetin yolunu gosterib,
onlar ozleri weytana uyub azginliq edirler. Allahin hidayetini gormeyib
bilerekden Allahin yolundan chixanlara Allah lenet elesin.
Bu pozgunlarin kokunu kesmek lazimdir, vuqari taniyiram, taniyiram deyende,
onun xeberi cixandan sonra maraqlanmiwam, pozgunun yekesidir, bedenini pula
satir. Tbilisi prospektinde duranlardan bawqa hec ne gozlemek olmaz.
Inwallah weriet hokumeti qurulandan sonra belelerine chare qilarlar. Allah
ozu bendelerini dogru yola yoneltsin. Bu qeder peygember geldi, insanlar
haqqi gormediler.
Diverse as in different religions are “almost” equally practised and
Azerbaijan does not use Islam in it’s political standings. Religion has
always been a very important part of the Turks and was never used in
Political Issues.
Caucasus has always been homophobic and always will be. Its ancient place,
which survived many influenced and developed and preserved own very unique
culture which is shared by all Caucasians regardless of religion. I see in
future though with democratisation of the society, most will be having less
pronounced feeling about them and let them be however cannot imagine
legalisation of same sex marriages or
It is a pity that a progressive Muslim country like Azerbaijan has such a
backwards view of it’s LGBT population. To have a government MP say that
there are no gay people in his country and that they are sick is disgusting
and shows just how ignorant and stupid he is.
I would appreciate it if you stopped spreading biased information. The
Ottoman empire was ALWAYS tolerant. The countries which the Ottoman empire
conquered were still allowed to practice their religions. Ataturk himself
resented his enemies, NOT their religions. The Ottoman Empire did have it’s
ups and downs but it was COMPLETELY Religion tolerant.
Azerbaijan is not the least practising Muslim country, but the most
“diverse”. It is not mainly religion related, but people related. Ancient
Turks or today’s Azeri’s do not find this act acceptable and have always
looked bad towards it.
more like major, about the world most power fullest countries Brazil,
Mexico, Canada, japan, china, u.s.a, all of Latin America, most Caribbean ,
Thailand, Malaysia, Mongolia, germany, france, italy, spain, Sweden,
Iceland, England, even some Muslim countries turkey , and Jewish isreal
have in one way or another give rights so your concept of minor is very
weird because that’s a majority of the worlds most powerful countries
