Nobody is defending Muslim extremism. Not all Muslims are extreme and not every act of violence committed by a Muslim is instigated by religion. Not all Muslims throw stones at homosexuals either. Islam is as broad a religion as Christianity with sects ranging from the very liberal to the extremely conservative.
Perhaps after spending centuries being called perverts, pedophiles, mentally ill, and wannabe women, homosexuals are more careful before assigning blame without evidence of cause.
Jason... you are absolutely right. There's all sorts of extremists from all backgrounds. I've known Christian bigots who hated gay people. However, people need to use some common sense. There's exceptions to every rule. The problem with Islam is not that there's a lone kook here and there who gets disgruntled and shoots people. The problem is that it is WAY TOO prevalent. And eventually, any honest, thinking person must ask themselves a simple question. Is their action potentially motivated by a faith in a messed up ideology? I mean, I've read the Bible, and I've read the Koran. I don't support crazy Christians who bash people with the Bible. But look at the fruits of religion. Is it a coincidence that stoning only occurs in Muslim countries? How about female genital mutilation?
Nazism is universally recognized as evil...as it should be. People understand that its tenants teach hate. But with Islam, we are told that since it is a "religion," we must suspend logic and accept the evil message. Namely, the Koran teaches death to Jews, Christians, homosexuals and all "infidels." For Christ sake, Muhammad himself was a violent, vile man. Please dismiss propaganda, for once, and use your obviously evolved brain. It's important for everyone's survival.
