Maher Abdallah:

Dear viewers, peace of Allah be upon you, greetings and welcome to a new episode of the program Islamic Law and Life.

1. Preachy silence is not sufficient for the school. The "silent" students will be given a platform for "sharing their reflections" verbally in a required chapel.

2. Far from being silenced, gays in our society are given every imaginable media and political platform to air their convictions. And totally neglected is the possibility that gays are silenced by their own sense of compassion for their families and by their shame, informed by conscience.

Describing her father's homosexual lifestyle as a culture without "boundaries and principles of morality and monogamy," Stefanowicz said her upbringing was characterized by confusion and lack of affection, domestic violence and sexual abuse.

In her father's world which he made hers, she said, "transsexualism, and transient and anonymous multiple partners were common...By age ten, for example, I was exposed to a gay nude beach, a sex shop, and a gay cruising park."

The religious right aims to overturn a broad range of common tolerance programs: diversity training that promotes acceptance of gays and lesbians, speech codes that ban harsh words against homosexuality, anti-discrimination policies that require college clubs to open their membership to all. The Rev. Rick Scarborough, a leading evangelical, frames the movement as the civil rights struggle of the 21st century.
