OK, we’re gonna level with you: we’d never heard of this @pride_token account before today. It has less than 800 followers on Twitter. And normally we don’t really spotlight accounts of a rando nature.
But being that it’s Pride Month and all, we’re feeling more generous than usual. And frankly, this take is so bizarre, we can’t help but find it fascinating enough to share with all of you. You’ve heard of Catholics For Choice. Well, meet Devout Muslims for Pride:

Here’s the full text of that tweet, just in case you were wondering:
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us the importance of love and compassion towards all people, regardless of their sexual orientation. This Pride Month, let’s explore his teachings and how they can guide us in combatting homophobia. #PrideMonth
Intrigued? Just wait til the thread gets going:
Prophet Muhammad emphasized the value of treating others with kindness and respect, irrespective of their differences. His teachings remind us to embrace diversity, challenge prejudice, and foster an inclusive society where everyone feels safe and accepted.

Homophobia goes against the spirit of Prophet Muhammad's teachings, which emphasize justice and fairness for all. Let's stand against discrimination, advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, and create a world where everyone can live authentically without fear of judgment or persecution.

Prophet Muhammad's teachings highlight the importance of empathy and understanding. Let's strive to educate ourselves about the LGBTQ+ community, listen to their stories, and empathize with their struggles. By doing so, we can build bridges of acceptance and break down barriers.

Homophobia harms individuals and divides communities. Inspired by Prophet Muhammad, let's challenge harmful stereotypes, address misconceptions, and engage in respectful dialogue to promote a society that values and celebrates the diversity of sexual orientations and gender…

Pride Month reminds us to stand as allies in the fight against homophobia. Prophet Muhammad's legacy calls on us to support and uplift LGBTQ+ individuals, amplify their voices, and work together to create a world free from discrimination and prejudice.

Prophet Muhammad's message of love, compassion, and acceptance extends to all people, including the LGBTQ+ community. Let's honor his teachings by actively combating homophobia, promoting inclusion, and striving for a future where love knows no bounds.

In conclusion, let Prophet Muhammad's teachings guide us in our commitment to eradicating homophobia and fostering a society where everyone can embrace their true selves. This Pride Month, let's celebrate love, equality, and acceptance for all. #CombatHomophobia

And by the way, have you ever considered investing in Pride cryptocurrency?
Get involved. LGBTQ rights are HUMAN rights. https://t.co/ZrGS0OGDh9

Anyway, before we go any further, just in case it’s not clear, we are not suggesting that Muslims are inherently homophobic or anti-LGBTQIABCDE or whatever. There are plenty of Muslims who are fine with LGBTQ+ people and even belong to that community themselves. But if radical LGBTQ+ activists are going to paint all of Christianity as inherently homophobic because the Bible said that homosexuality is smite-worthy, then it’s going to be pretty difficult for us to buy the idea that Mohammad was woke before it was cool.
I see the dilution of religion by the culture is no longer constrained to Christianity. https://t.co/BtY13E0x8A

Evidently. What a time to be alive, huh?
And speaking of Christianity, there’s also a thread on Jesus in case you’re interested:
🏳️🌈🧵What Would Jesus Do? A Reflection on LGBTQ Rights and Homophobia
Many claim to follow Jesus, the embodiment of love, compassion, and acceptance. But when it comes to LGBTQ rights, some Christians have chosen a path of hate and persecution. Today, let's reflect on what Jesus… pic.twitter.com/svosR5KlaQ

But we digress.
This HAS To Be A PARODY… https://t.co/X8P0KI4UTS

It doesn’t seem to be …
That all sounds very happy and nice, but would Muhammad really and truly agree with it?
Might want to check a handy Sharia law manual. I can recommend the 'Umdat al-Salik, endorsed by al-Azhar University. Specifically p17.0, et seq., for what Muhammad had to say about homosexuality, sodomy, and lesbianism. https://t.co/KwZVeGE7jh

Spoiler alert: Mohammad wasn’t what you’d call an LGBTQ+ ally.
Homosexuality is illegal in every Islamic nation on earth. In some countries the punishment is death. Are we really going to pretend Christianity is oppressive to the alphabet people but Islam is woke? https://t.co/E9kTNBymnx

Whoever runs the @pride_token account can pretend. We’re gonna have to err on the side of reality.
Print these off as posters and go stand in the middle of Tehran, Mecca or Baghdad. See how well it’s received there. Then come back and tell me how intolerant I am as a Christian. https://t.co/mrDCmhHJtK

Spoiler alert: If @pride_token actually tries that, they won’t be coming back and telling you anything. They won’t be coming back, period.
