[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I treat each person as an individual. That means the Muslim woman who runs our local store I frequent, I adore. We have great conversations. Ditto any other INDIVIDUAL I meet, regardless of race and/or religion. Where I draw the line, is with those individuals who form a group that goes on to support terror, such as ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah. There groups are exactly what Geller denounces.

Your own words contradict what you are saying here. When I asked posters to challenge a poster who wrote that "Islam kills gay men daily", you replied that this was true. You didn't correct the poster to say that only "radical Muslims" killed gays, but insisted that it was true that "Islam" kills gays. You have had plenty of chances in this thread correct any misperceptions that you were not referring to all Muslims or the entire religion. Yet, you have not done that but only doubled down. Go tell that woman who runs your local store that you believe Islam kills gays daily and subjugates women and see how that conversation goes.

You are (typically) splitting hairs, which is when I start ignoring you. When you start doing this, it's because you have no point. [/quote]

The difference between "all Muslims" and "some Muslims" is hardly a "hair".  If you feel that I am misunderstanding you, there is nothing to prevent you from offering a clarification. How hard is it to say, "Oh, I didn't mean that 'Islam kills gays' but rather 'some Muslims kill gays'"?

Because the governments of those countries that kill gay people are the ones that are perpetuating these crimes. If someone kills a gay individual in this country, our legal system pursues it as murder. If someone does that in some of the Islamic countries, it is not pursued as murder. In fact, it is often those very governments that impose the death sentence on someone because they are gay.[/quote]
