At least you admit that the Bible contradicts itself. *winks*
Back to the topic, people will use scriptures to justify murder.

Can someone please explain to me why the CTRL-Left rams gayness down everyone's throat yet will defend people murdering others because of their gayness?

The Quran does not support violence against people unless in self defense. There are many, many Muslims who get upset when ISIS does something like this. ISIS does this kind of stuff to MUSLIMS. Many, many Muslims have spoken out against the barbaric violence.
You are talking out of your ass as usual.

I am pro-Christian but I would never support the westboro church because their actions are not Christian. I do not blame Christianity for their actions because Christianity does not condone or direct those actions. Islam on the other hand does direct and condone the barbaric actions and the people who follow it, muslims, know that. Big difference.
No you are just arrogantly assuming that you know about a religion you don't and have never practiced. Islam does NOT condone barbaric actions either, and just LIKE WBC isn't Christian, ISIS isn't Muslim.

ISIS is not Islam.
They kill more Muslims than they kill anyone else.
That said, there are plenty of people in this country "good Christian people" who have called for the same Biblical treatment of gay people.
I'll put more stock in the "concern" that some are showing for the young man who was murdered, which I see a thread that doesn't whine about "having something shoved down one's throat."
Some of you are taking advantage of this horror for nothing more than to advance your own political agenda; as pointed out, that makes you party to the crime, in spirit if not in fact.

I stand by that claim. Given a rise in Christian theocracies around the world, I'd wager that homosexuality would quickly be outlawed and eventually punished by death in some of them. Currently most Christian countries are secular so they aren't able to do that. It doesn't prevent them from expressing their own forms of hatred though.
Meanwhile, the % of adults who favor same-sex marriages among christians is on a steady rise, even among devout evangelicals.

Yeah. After we, secular America, dragged Christian America kicking and screaming into this reality they finally come around after realizing it isn't the end of the world. But don't pretend like its all glory and sunshines for the Christian religion and homosexuality just because a few are coming around.

Yeah I know the claim. They haven't explained about them supporting Wahhabism and funding terrorists.

While many are quick to point out the Quran, they often ignore the Hadith, which are as much a part of Islam as the Quran. It is in the Hadith that the true violence of Islam is found. It is the basis for Sharia law, which is famous for its draconian punishments. To broad-stroke the Quran as a peaceful text is disingenuous. You must consider all parts of the religion, then decide on its intent. The Hadith, comprised of many books, are said to be the words of Allah relayed by Muhammed. Some of the books are said to be the actual words of God (Allah) himself. This can not be ignored in forming an opinion of the overall tone and timbre of the religion of Islam. It is indeed violent and has much to say on the subject of converting those not of the Islamic faith and destroying (killing) those who refuse to convert. While not all practitioners of Islam follow every doctrine to the letter, it is fair to say that even one percent of a religion this large offers a significant number of protagonists willing to take up arms in its favor. And I think one percent is far too conservative to be realistic. That is why these lame comparisons between Christianity and Islam are so ridiculous. Islam directly instructs its followers to kill those whom refuse to convert. I don't recall seeing that in the Bible.
But yeah, I'm just talking about stuff I know nothing about... or was that you...
