Zoophilia, from the Greek (zoon, “animal”) and (philia, “love”), is defined as an affinity or sexual attraction by a human to an animal. Such individuals are called zoophiles. The more recent terms zoosexual and zoosexuality describe the full spectrum of human/animal orientation.
A separate term, bestiality often misspelled as “beastiality”, refers to human/animal sexual activity.
While sexual zoophilia is legal in a few countries, it is not explicitly condoned anywhere today, and in most countries sexual acts with animals are illegal under animal abuse laws or, less commonly, laws dealing with crimes against nature.
Zoosadism refers to the torture or pain of animals for sexual pleasure, and also includes willfully abusive zoosexual activity.
Scientific surveys estimating the frequency of zoosexual being as many as 8–40% of sexually active adults have had significant sexual experience with an animal at some point in their lives.
Several organized religions take a critical or sometimes condemnatory view of zoophilia or zoosexual activity.
Some theologians extend this, to consider lustful thoughts for an animal as a sin, and the Christian theologian Thomas Aquinas described it along with homosexuality as the worst sexual sins “because use of the right sex is not observed.”
In the Church-oriented culture of the middle Ages, zoosexual activity was met with execution, typically burning, and death to the animals involved either the same way or by hanging, as “both a violation of Biblical edicts and a degradation of man”.

The Zoosexuality and the Zoosexual in the Bible
In Leviticus 18:23, the LORD commands both man and woman: Do not be Zoosexual, it is a perversion.
New International Version
‘Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion.
New American Standard Bible
Also you shall not have intercourse with any animal to be defiled with it, nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it; it is a perversion.
King James Version
Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
———————
In Deuteronomy 27:21, the Zoosexual is cursed.
New International Version
“Cursed is the man who has sexual relations with any animal.” Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”
New American Standard Bible
Cursed is he who lies with any animal.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
King James Version
Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen.
———————
In Exodus 22:19, the LORD commands to kill the Zoosexual
New International Version
“Anyone who has sexual relations with an animal must be put to death.
New American Standard Bible
Whoever lies with an animal shall surely be put to death.
King James Version
Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
———————
However, in Leviticus 20:15 the LORD commands to kill both the man Zoosexual and the animal (the beast)!
New International Version
“‘If a man has sexual relations with an animal, he must be put to death, and you must kill the animal.
New American Standard Bible
If there is a man who lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; you shall also kill the animal.
King James Version
And if a man lies with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.
———————
Moreover, in Leviticus 20:16 the LORD commands to kill both the woman Zoosexual and the animal (the beast)! Their blood guiltiness is upon them (on their own heads)!
New International Version
“‘If a woman approaches an animal to have sexual relations with it, kill both the woman and the animal. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
New American Standard Bible
‘If there is a woman who approaches any animal to mate with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal; they shall surely be put to death. Their blood guiltiness is upon them.
King James Version
And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
———————
However, what about the animal (beast), is the animal guilty too? If a man or a woman abuses a beast, would that beast considered guilty and has to be killed and the beast’s blood guiltiness is upon it (on its own head)! Where are the animal rights?

The Zoosexuality and the Zoosexual in the Quran
The Noble Quran does not mention the zoosexual and/or the zoosexuality. Hadith (Sayings of the Prophet Muhammad) forbids the animal abuse! That is why; Islamic scholars agree that sexual intercourse with animals is strictly prohibited. It is abhorrent.
—————–
What if the Quran was the Book which commands to kill the uncircumcised, to kill the one who curses his parents and or to kill the Gay? What the Western Media would have said? What names they have given the Quran in such case?

Back to the main issue of my series of articles; this is my question to you smart readers: “Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?”
