Hey Hellno, how's it hangin'? Pardon the pun. Look.............. All progressive don't support Muslims. Some of them just feel that they are given an unduly harsh rap, due to the fact that only a small percentage of them actually engage in radical Islamic terrorism. Just like all of us Conservatives are not right-wing Christians. And some Muslims are Conservative Americans. And some Muslims DO support the Progressives who do not condemn all Muslims. Got it? Sweet. Thanks! SS 2

Re:"due to the fact that only a small percentage of them actually engage in radical Islamic terrorism" Since this post is about treatment of gays, there are 5 Islamic countries where homosexuality is punishable by death and all of these countries are Islamic: Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Islamic Republic of Mauritania, Sudan... Source: http://www.care2.com/causes/ There are many others where it is illegal and punishable by imprisonment. So it is not a small percentage. 1

Seaman August Provost was found shot to death and his body burned at his guard post on Camp Pendleton on June 30, 2009. LGBT community leaders "citing military sources initially said that Provost's death was a hate crime."[167] Provost had been harassed because of his sexual orientation.[167] Military leaders have since explained that "whatever the investigation concludes, the military's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy prevented Provost from seeking help."[167] Family and friends believe he was murdered because he was openly gay (or bisexual according to some family and sources);[168][169][170][171][172] the killer committed suicide a week later after admitting the murder, the Navy have not concluded if this was a hate crime.[173] CeCe McDonald, a young African American trans woman, was attacked outside a tavern shortly after midnight on June 5, 2011, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.[174] CeCe fatally stabbed her attacker with a pair of scissors.[175] She was subsequently convicted of manslaughter and jailed for 19 months in a men's prison.[176] Jesse James Devoreaux, a 13-year-old gay teen was nearly beaten to death by 5 male school mates with baseball bats in East Hartford, Connecticut on February 22, 2010. The victim suffered multiple skull fractures requiring emergency reconstructive surgery with metal plates and screws requiring over 50 sutures to close the wounds at the Connecticut Childrens Medical Center in Hartford, Connecticut. The victim also suffered a crushed kidney which had to be removed, a broken arm and broken nose. The victim remained in an injury induced coma for 10 days following the attack before returning home with family. The 5 assailants were never arrested and prosecuted. Mark Carson, a 32-year-old gay man, was shot to death by a man who trailed and taunted him and a friend as they walked down the street in Greenwich Village, New York, yelling anti-gay slurs and asking one of them, "You want to die tonight?" Elliot Morales was arrested briefly after the shooting and charged with murder and weapons charges on May 19, 2013 You are looking at one incident and claiming that one Muslim killing spree talks for all Muslims. However, if you look at the distributed attacks by Catholics in this country and world wide against gays and add them together, you will see that Catholics have killed more gays in the last 50 years than all Muslims combined. This lends itself to showing that it is a societal problem, rather than a radicalism problem with Catholics. The Pope just released a statement in regards to gays being owed apologies by the Christians (as well as others who have suffered mistreatment at the hands of Christians). Their community also supports equal treatment of LGBTQ in regards to church attendance. Try to show up at a mosque while gay and you won't make it out. |
