PP have YOU read the entire Bible and the entire Koran?  How could you make any comparison otherwise?  The old testament is chock full of crazy stuff (see my favorite 2 Kings 2:23), but people IGNORE it.  That is the fundamental difference.

I feel like we have had this argument 100 times, but you are simply wrong. Christians who believe that homosexuality is wrong justify their belief on Old Testament verses. Clearly, not everyone ignores the Old Testament. The Quran is interpreted in various ways. Understanding how it is understood in daily life requires more than just reading it, just as is true with the Bible.

Yes but Jeff, let's get serious here.

Christians who are against homosexuality follow two basic groups: the "pray the gay out of them" who are compassionate towards them but generally worry that if they stay gay tjey will miss out on God's salvation and heaven and the fire and brimstone anti gays, who are very angry as they are about all of everyone else's sins, but they are all words and little action except in how they vote and who theh associate with. And even at their angriest and most extreme they do not go around throwing gays off tall buildings.

And yet many muslims in the middle east including many clerics are A Okay with torturing gays and executing them for sport in dreadful ways because "Allah says so"

Comparing the most radical evangelical southern Baptist minister's views and more importantly actions on gays to any number of muslim clerics is not even possible.

The actions towards gays by many of the islamic faith in that part of the world makes anti gay Christian pastors seem like thaley are wrapped in a rainbow cloak.

There is zero comparison of the two and you know it.[/quote]

You are missing the point completely. I'm not debating the positions of various religions towards homosexuality, but only the point of whether the Old Testament is ignored by today's Christians. This thread is about the Falls Church mosque. Do you have any evidence that those who pray at that mosque want to kill gays or even oppose them? One of the most anti-gay countries in the world is Uganda which is Christian and whose anti-gay laws were supported by American Christians.

You guys love to take the worst examples of Muslims and tarnish all Muslims with them. I wouldn't mind if you treated other religions the same way, but you don't. Posters here are convinced that the mosque is full of terrorists who hold the worst of beliefs without having set foot in the mosque or talking to a single person associated with it. That ridiculous.
