Now, say if here in Morocco, they decided to allow gay marriage I would have a serious problem with that. This is because here they are supposed to base their laws on Islaam, and this would be a clear violation of the laws of Islaam.
I don't think that it is correct for any state in the United States to define marriage as because this definition is based on some religious belief, and such things should not play a role in United States politics, according to the system of the United States.

Re. US - that's fair enough, and broad-minded of you. Of course it still sucks if you're homosexual and through random chance happen to be born in Morocco rather than the US, with no money to move abroad... but then to me that points to the merits of democracy rather than to any inconsistency on your part.
Btw, is that a fairly new thing, spelling Islaam with a second a (like how it should be pronounced) or is it really spelled like that elsewhere?
