Almost hourly there is a post opened here about something to do with how gays are thought of and treated, anti-gay laws passed in other countries..

Yet there is never a peep here concerning the treatment of homosexuals (up to the death penalty) in Islamic countries.

Why is that?

How in the hell would you know what gay people are concerned about?

You're just making a broad and nonsensical assumption.

Why would they be concerned about some useless backwards stupid Islamic country when we live here in the supposedly land of the FREE and home of the brave?

Nice troll thread.

Not making any assumptions, you can see the gay threads opened here just like I can...

Did I touch a nerve or something?

Because liberals are in collusion with Islam. They think that if they're nice to muslim countries then Islamists won't try to exterminate them.

On the flip side, why aren't you praising the practices of those countries?

Maybe because gay people here are more concerned about the treatment of gays in their own country. Duh!....

You do realize those people live in a country where they can possibly be straight up killed for dissent, right? We can criticise anyone we want in America, it's not like that everywhere else. Hello? Women are stoned and lashed for the most trivial offenses.

Nice troll thread.
Nice attempt at diverting the discussion from the topic.

It's because liberals defend America haters like Muslims across the many nations even if they do things against gays and women. Remember, according to their play book, only America is evil.

Yea you did. The nerve that aches when i see a stupid assumption being made that defies all logic.

Again, unless you've polled most gay people, or at least a large sampling, there is no way in hell you can come to the ridiculous conclusion that they somehow don't care about gays being treated bad in foreign countries.

I shouldn't be surprised...coming from a right winger. You're the same guys that think a picture of Al Sharpton hangs above all fireplaces in black households.
