We're straying from PP's original point, which is that there's much greater scriptural support for anti-gay bigotry in the Quran, which further is seen as the literal word of God, than in Christianity. You can bring up the small minority of whack jobs all you like, but this scriptural comparison is hard to refute.

I have responded to this point several times and either you are not reading or are refusing to consider what I've written. I'll just repost my response above your post (which you probably didn't see because you were typing your post):

While some Christians find justification for killing gays in the story of Lot, others -- like you -- say that such interpretations are wrong. The verses in the Quran, based on the same story, are subject to the same debate. Your suggestion is that because the Quran is considered the word of God, there is no debate. That is simply incorrect. Therefore, you can point to a verse and say, "that is scriptural support to kill gays", but I can find Muslims who will say that those verses don't mean what you think they do.

Anyone who claims to be knowledgeable about Islam, yet thinks that all Muslims agree on the exact meaning of Quranic verses, is not as knowledgeable as they believe.
