Homosexuality is acceptable in most countries, especially in countries like US and UK
Additionally, the clip claims that homosexuals should consider changing their sexual orientations for the sake of God, and that they do not have to be forced to repent their homosexuality, which in other words is a sin in Islamic teachings.
“You should also turn your backs on any activities that might lead you to same sex relations,” it continues.
Some of those who have reacted to the bizarre training and guidance programme include one Huda Mutalib who says he was not impressed by the video.
“It’s very dangerous for them to encourage heterosexual marriage as a way to fix persons in the LGBT community,” says Mutalib.
His sentiments are echoed by Zulaikaha Mohammad, who argues that calling for reparation therapy is ill advised and shows luck of respect to LGBT people, who should be left to live their lives as they please. But not everyone agrees with Mutalib and Mohammad.
One Azira Aziz is openly proud of IDD for producing the video.
“I hope their mission can remind each state to not act rough towards the LGBT but rather find ways to help them,” says Aziz.
The therapy, according to IDD, consists of a blend of psychological treatment and spiritual counselling.
