christianity has a dark history as well ... if we are talking about homosexuality - just look at your own country ... you won't let them get "married" ... just because the protest is different doesn't mean the intolerance is not there ...

Of course. I addressed the every religion thing, in my first post.


" ...and its this kind of thinking that will only spread the intolerance ..."

No. It's their (Islamics/Muslims) intolerance that spreads that kind of thinking. They breed intolerance, therefore they reap intolerance. Their history is littered with it.

As well as every other self-righteous religious nutjob who feels the need to enlighten (by discrimination and force) those who are non-believers.


You think it's a broad brush. But It is a very broad truth. it is the canvas of their design.

If Islam is to be the most practiced religion within 20 years, as you stated, you will all see exactly what Islam is about.

well ... truth is in the eye of the beholder ... i know many people who practice islam and have travelled in muslim countries and i do not see the "truth" you speak of ...

all i do know is that it is this intolerance that allows people to accept the consequences of war and suffering ...

Liberals on the Moving Train ... They'll stand up for gay rights when its Christians doing the bashing. When its Muslims, they skirt the issue and take another opportunity to bash Christians.
You guys aren't dumb, so there must be another explantion.

Not to speak for anyone else, but I'd say it's because Christianity is the majority here; and if anyone in the U.S. feels oppressed by extremist views regarding religion, said religion is 99.729% likely to be a denomination of Christianity.

If Muslims ever become the majority here (currently at about 1.5% of the population - so watch out), and they continue the tradition, you can bet they'd get the same treatment.

Not me dude. I'm an equal-opportunity disliker of religions in general. I try not to bash any religions - live and let live is my feeling. And obviously the muslims in the above story are NOT following live and let live.

Good point as usual, RainDog ... But damn. Just once I would like someone to actually act like a real liberal on here and call a spade a spade. Its really more about personal bias and less about real ideology ... Which is kind of sad. Not that I am 100% consistent in my beliefs or free of bias either, of course. But damn ... As soon as I saw the title of this thread, I could predict the outcome.

A liberal wouldn't do that, man. It's to overtly racist.

The hatred of homos isn't a practice unique to islamics. I respect the fact that these muslims were at least standing up for what they believe in.

He was an amazing singer and a human being.....who gives a fuck what he liked to do with his Johnson?.....Someday all these religious nut jobs will get off their moral high horse and look in the mirror. It's dispicable that a man's sexual orientation is even an issue when trying to honor him.

I suppose "live and let live" would be appropriate in this situation.

Freddie Mercury is probably the best singer/frontman that has ever lived.

Anyone...Muslim, Christian, Boy Scout, Fetus, salamander...trying to stop a celebration of Freddie is an idiot.

Sad.

The Show Must Go On!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they threatened to disrupt the event. you call that standing up for what they believe in?? they can voice their opinion, that's fine. but making threats to the point of getting the thing canceled is a bit much. what do they care?? it's a birthday gala for a dead guy who was born there. if people want to attend, that's their right. do you like it when people tell you what and what not to do?? of course not. they can just fuck off, right??
