Nobody denies, that the Christian dogma is incredible homophobic. So is the Islamic one. The difference is, that the Islamic one isn´t getting questioned and scrutinized in similar fashion. You can try to draw false equivalences all day long, but in the end of the day everyone with two eyes sees that the treatments of almost all minorities in the arab/muslim world is nothing but shameful.
If anyone would show similar enthusiasm to defend other equally intolerant ideologies, the same people who give Islam a pass, would shout "racist" and "bigot" all day long.
Any dogma that tells you that people are less valuable, because they don´t share you sexual orientation is simply disgusting and any decent person should reject it.
Sort of like the way they guys criticising and scrutinising Islam are failing to mention other religions intolerances then?
Personally I think all religion has been corrupted beyond recognition by vested interests, Islam and Christianity, I'm not giving anything a pass, but whats sauce for the Prophet is sauce for the Jesus.
I find it interesting that people highlight Islamic intolerance and then claim other religions are whiter than white when it comes to tolerance of homosexuality, particularly when the most recognisable Christian lead on the planet was preaching his own brand of intolerance towards gay people a month or two ago.
