Uh huh... Bigotry is bigotry regardless of the end result on the person being oppressed. You aren't winning points with me by saying that JUST because you don't advocate killing gays makes you more moral than Muslims.
The shamelessness of Christians pretending like JUST because they don't stone gays makes them somehow better than Muslims even though they hate gays too is VERY dishonest and scummy.

Yes, people who don't stone gays are far better than those who do.
LIKE I said. I don't care about a pissing match over who is more awful. They are both awful to gays and neither has the high ground to talk about the other's actions towards gays.
but will readily defend the religion most likely to punish homosexuality with death, imprisonment, and lashing.

American Muslims are more tolerant than evangelical Christians.
reason.com...
The number says 48% of Christians oppose gay marriage, whereas 52% Muslims oppose it.

I'll never understand the logic of the right. It's like saying that if you are pro Christianity then you support people like Robert Dear and Westboro Baptist Church.
Exactly. Or if you are a gun rights activist that you must support people who shoot and kill innocent children in elementary schools.
Lots of gun owners don't hurt anyone. The gun itself is not the problem.
Lots of Muslims don't hurt anyone. Islam itself is not the problem.

Homosexuality IS a punishable sin in the bible. In fact, it's punishable by death according to a great many Christian bigots.
but will readily defend the religion most likely to punish homosexuality with death, imprisonment, and lashing.
I will defend any religion from being unfairly persecuted within the 1st world no matter how questionable their practices may end up being in the 3rd world. Because I believe in the First Amendment and I DON'T agree with labeling everyone in a religion as a gay killer just because a cult of that religion practices gay killing.

If someone belongs to the KKK and believes in the ideology of white supremacy, but doesn't engage in racial killings, does that make him any better of a person?

In Islamic theocracies and many Muslim countries, homosexuality is punishable by death. I ask anyone to name one effort by western Muslims to end this barbarism.
It's also illegal to be gay in Russia, and there are homophobic Christian majority countries in S. America as well. Africa is pretty homophobic too. Christianity is JUST as homophobic as Islam and if given the chance would be MORE than willing to imprison or murder gays within a theocracy.

Yeah yeah yeah. I've heard that song and dance before. It doesn't change the fact that Christians all over the world still follow that crap whether you like it or not.
I also find it sickenly hypocritical that you can pretend like these people aren't real Christians but pretend like Muslims who hate on gays is indicative of the whole religion. I'd be more willing to accept your words here if you said the same thing about Muslims and their religion. But alas, you just look like you are giving me weasel words to excuse continuing to demean Muslims.

Umm The bible itself calls these people hypocrites so its not MY opinion.
And I never said all muslims hate on Gays either.
BOTH SIDES have people preaching the wrong doctrine and using it as their own personal weapon.
This is Your hang up not mine. Tell us what you really think. I myself have no problems with muslims and islam as long as they do not go forcing anything on me and the people i know. God will judge them himself. same as he will judge the hypocritical who hate on his fellow children.
