The leadership of the Ambariya Sunni Muslim group has presented a memorandum to the Parliament’s Constitutional and Legal Affairs Committee in support of the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill.
In the group’s view, the practice of homosexuality is a moral disorder and deviant behaviour that undermines the survival and existence of the human species.
Portions of the memo read “It’s a moral disease, a sin, and social corruption. No person is an LGBT+, just like no one is born a thief, a liar, or a murderer. People acquire these evil habits due to a lack of proper guidance and education.”
Leader of the group, Shiek Saeed Abubakar Zakaria, told journalists that Islam has prescribed a general principle of paramount importance and universal application, saying, “co-operate with one another for virtue and heedfulness and do not cooperate with one another for the purpose of vice and aggression.”
Shiek Zakaria observed that a man who undertakes noble and righteous work has the right to enjoy support and active cooperation from all.
He, however, insists that a person who perpetrates deeds of vice or aggression, “even if he is our closet relation, does not have the right to win our support or help in the name of our relationship with him.”
Ambariyya as a religious body identifies with any member or citizen within the country who is a human being as to whether the fellow is a Muslim or not, that’s something different. We identify with the fellow as we all being Ghanaians. We equally identify with whatever rights all of us have to exercise. Whatever we are doing within the country, shouldn’t be something that will lead to our retrogression or our underdevelopment. He said.
The group is asking parliament to stand firmly with the speaker of the house to take a decisive stance to ensure that the will of the people they represent is respected and supported.
