Unlike Islam, we Christians are not told to murder gay people. And still they murder gay people, Lisa. Yes, Muslims do. Why? Their religion advocates it. As does Christianity... Brian, be a good fellow and get me the Christian equivalence of the 10 Islamic countries which have state sanctioned executions of gays. Bu COB today would be super Firstly, it is more complicated than there being 10 countries that execute homosexuals. Some have it written into law but have never carried it out. In other countries, it's becoming rarer and rarer. In yet other countries it's reserved for married men only. Don't get me wrong. I think every instance of capital punishment is a gross human rights violations and I strongly oppose the non-appeptance of gays, it's just that you're talking poo and you should know it. And yet again, you miss the important question... what is the difference between Muslim countries that do this and those that don't? It is that difference that I am interested in. It seems the difference between Muslim countries that do and don't execute gays is the ones that do obviously follow more closely the Koran and Sharia law. I've met young guys from Iran who present as progressive normal guys, but heard with my own ears when they saw some very obviously gay guys around Mardi Gras time, jokes about ropes and cranes. How can you think state sanctioned killing of gays in Iran, a law which is a reflection of the wishes of it's people is not as bad as a few religious nutjobs in the USA? Quote What is, do you think? Do you really think it's that simple? That countries that don't persecute gays just reads the Quran less? You don't think it might be about focussing on different bits? Interpreting it in different ways? And can you think of any reasons why angry zealots are so angry? And how the zealots got into positions of power? Lets just use Iran for this example, reading the Koran more or less isn't the issue. They obviously have a stricter interpretation of it. Isn't it a good thing we don't live in a country that's laws are based on a strict interpretation of the bible? Again, you've missed the point. It's not about how strictly it is interpreted, it's whether or not it is interpreted peacefully. In many parts of the world, it is interpreted strictly and peacefully. So Islam isn't the lowest common denominator. What do you think is?
