Look what we found in the Walford Gazette!
So we were leafing through the pages of the Walford Gazette to see if there was any news on Peggy and Pat pulling out of the election race, and look what we found on Page 24. It could all be a coincidence, I suppose... but does this person/situation look in any way familiar to you?
What advice would you give to troubled 'Anonymous' from Walford?

Have a chat with your son, tell him you know it was him, and tell him you think it would be best if he said the truth to Amira. Tell him, if he loves her, then he should be honest with her, as perhaps she might find out sooner or later, and it would shock her and break her heart to find out like you have. You need to be straight with your son, but do not try to change him, because when a man is gay, you cannot change him. You may feel it's "wrong" but then again, there is no right/wrong in love. You need to understand that. And please, do find it in your heart to accept your son the way he is.
Regards, Jackie

Firstly allow me to say that I understand how hard it must be for you. All religions are different and many, like yours are quite strict when it comes to this sort of thing, in fact, this is one of the reasons why I am not particularly fond of it! Don't allow it to dictate and suffocate you,use it for solace only and make your own mind up. So what if your son's gay? it isn't WHAT he is but WHO he is that should matter to you. Try to talk to your son, explain your fears and reasons, but also let him know that you love him no matter what, take charge and be your own person, he'll need lots of love and support. Forcing someone to remain in a marriage is not only immoral, it is illegal. Take control and listen to your heart as a father rather than a muslim. Good Luck!

As for facing your wife; be open to her and talk. Tell her what you saw. She might already know that and has the same fear not to speak about it because the religion would not allow it or says it is wrong.
Amira, I feel sorry for her because she will be the one probably suffering but then I also can see her understanding him and being happy for Syed because he found a very good man, Christian who loves him above anything else in this world.
At the end the consequences should and have to be faced and 'come clean'. It is about time.

Also, to other people who have commented:
Yes, it's not wrong to be gay, but it is wrong to cheat on your wife with another person. Marry her when you love another person. And have children with her when you love another person.
Yes they should accept the fact he is gay. But this doesn't mean what he has done is right.

Also Christian is out of Syed's league, Syed can do much much better. Christain is very stereotypical gay character and over the hill (he is and looks his age of a 40-something). If Syed were to leave Amira for a man it should be for someone better looking for instance the new boy, Leon Small, just saying looks-wise that Syed and Leon make a better couple than Syed and Christian. Just saying if Syed wanted a man he could have chosen someone much fitter as if he is going to leave a stunner like Amira he should leave for for someone one the same (or higher )level than her, lookswise

"Being homosexual is a bad example for Islam?" I may not be comfortable with homosexuality but I don't condemn it. I would have more respect for a homosexual in a committed relationship then a bigamous heterosexual!
2)
Zahed, if you are so disrespectful of this soap, please stay away from it. I doubt anyone is holding a knife to your throat forcing you to watch it. Remember a basic lesson in life, Muslim or not - if you don't have anything nice to say, keep quiet.

At 28th Apr 2010, lisa wrote:Just reading all the comments and the one from Zahad stating that this current storyline is disgusting and an insult to Islam. Well Zahab I do not know how long you have been watching Eastenders but this show has always tackled contraversial issues. Abortion, teenage pregnancy, domestic abuse, murder, alcoholism, drug addiction and peadophillia, and by addressing these issues it has been proven to help some people to deal with there own problems. Take for example the Stacy Slater storyline and her mental health issues. This brought awareness to what is, even in todays so called civilized society still regarded as an illness that is rarely recognised and often hidden and shunned. I actually did not find the Chritian/Syed storyline offensive because it gave me an insight into how very difficult this type of situation would be, giving that Syed's religion forbids it. However these things do excist and not facing them or branding them disgusting is not the way to deal with them. I felt that Eastenders handled this particular issue fairly and let the viewer see the subject from both sides.
