[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I do believe in fact, that Islam does kill gay men, that they support killing gay men, and that it is much more than a small minority that believe this to be ok.  [/quote]

These are your words. No argument, right? So, just drop your protestations that you only oppose "radical" Muslims. The words that you type clearly show that you attribute to an entire religion the deeds of a small minority. The vast majority of Muslims do not kill gay men and do not support killing gay men. This is a misrepresentation based in your Islamophobia.

Does the government of, say, Iran, prosecute the murder of gay individuals? How about Syria? The Washington Post had this to say:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-double-threat-for-gay-men-in-syria/2014/04/25/30117ee2-ca3a-11e3-a75e-463587891b57_story.html

it's not a 'phobia' to state the truth, that a particular religion has persecuted gays in countries that do not prosecute it, because they condone it.

It is, however, bigoted to minimize the horror gay individuals face in these countries. Congrats. You've earned it.

Iran is a despotic government that is hardly representative of Islam. As Shia Muslims, they are a small minority. Do you honestly think Iran is representative of the entire religion of Islam? There is no question that some Muslims are very homophobic. The same can be said of members of other religions. Why do you ignore Uganda with its "kill the gays" law? Why do you not consider Christianity to kill gays in the same way you do Islam? The answer is Islamophobia.

We agree that you believe "Islam kills gay men". There is really no need for further discussion. You can drop your pretense of opposing "radical' Muslims. You have made everything very clear.
