The irony here, of course, as noted before, is that you're doing your level best to defend a belief system that will kill people like you (gay, Jewish, liberals) far more readily than people like me (middle aged culturally conservative white men)


No, I'm defending the belief system of the few muslims i have known personally in my life. they were good people who hated violence and had solid convictions about their faith and were raised on the more peaceful teachings. And when one of those guys talked bad about gays I told him off for for being a bigot.
Quite frankly I think all religions are kind of kooky. And all religions have those who use it as a compass and those who use it as an excuse to be assholes. I won't judge one person or a group as a whole for the actions of a violent minority. I would say that muslim leaders need to remind their people about the actual teachings of their faith and the original definition of "innocents."

Bow ties are coool.
