One cannot tolerate the intolerant.  Though in this case  hungry pigs would be the more appropriate solution.

I mainly have one question: why is it that, since these are Muslims, they somehow represent all one billion Muslims on Earth?  If they were a group of black people going around harassing homosexuals, would black people all of a sudden all be homophobic?

Most black people are homophobic.

Of course most people are homophobic, particularly most religious.  Only a fairly small percentage of the population is enlightened.  But it is fair to say that Muslims, as a group are among the worst - on a par with the born-agains.

Most black people are homophobic.
Are we?

Certainly the great majority, of course.

So?  Surely you cannot dispute the fact that the great majority of black-skinned people are homophobic?  Probably even a greater percentage than homophobes among the white-skinned people.  Heck probably even a few homosexuals hate blacks, though I'm sure that is much more unusual.

No. But to compare all Muslims to Nazis is absurd.

Not really.  Religions are ideologies.  There is really no difference between wanting to stamp out a dangerous ideology like Naziism and a dangerous ideology like Islam or christianity.

Your ideas are clearly dangerous, opebo. Therefore I have no choice but to kill you.

They are?  I have no ideas which apply to you, only subjective ones.

I'm religious, so killing you would be merely self-defense for me. Smiley

Yes, naturally you believers in objective morality are motivated to stamp out those outside your cult, whether it is through conversion, exclusion from the levers of power, or in a great many historical cases killing.
