"To me, it doesn't mean just because you are a transgender you cannot learn about religion (Islam), you can. I want to learn it...

Islam is for believers . God treats everyone the same. why should we judge. We are here to be judged. Live , love and let live.All you holier than though believers just be reminded that you will be judged on the last day, being tolerant of others is one of the pillars in which we are judged. love one another. to be saved
It is the Muslim Muftis who are fanatics. Religion is not fanatic, it is the religious teachers and leaders are fanatics. Only in Islamic men are crazy of transgender personalities, just like to hook themselves. Later behave like holy basterds. In muslim religion have the worst fake rules that are not found in other religions. All these muftis and imams should be thrown in fiery volcanoes.
who are we mortals to judge. The Divine brought them to this World. 2 people in unison created them in a gift given by the Divine. So how mere mortals can judge them. How?
