ACLU lawyer has it right.... The right (and Donald Trump) are to blame. Not Islam.

He goes further to suggest Muslims and the LGBT community cooperate in opposing the right wing.

[Bluenorthwest]

1. He really does not say that at all.

And here's news. There are Muslims in the LGBT community. It's not the good people that are the problem. It's the despicable practice of hiding the monsters behind those good people that is the problem, Chase and the LGBT community are not doing that. You are.

7. The more religious one is the more likely they are to at minimum denounce, at max hate LGBT

Look at fundies from all religions, look at gay men in the black community and how they are shunned by their families and churches. Look at the Xtian fundies all out war on LGBT, and Muslims, shit...

There are even websites dedicated to finding a LGBT friendly or affirming church...

I tried to find a LGBT friendly mosque and there may a couple, maybe-

Only found this one article so far-
Progressive Muslims Launch Gay-Friendly, Women-Led Mosques In Attempt To Reform American Islam

And as I type and search- found one-

Dayaiee Abdullah, D.C. Imam, Provides Counseling, Weddings And Prayer Space For Gay Muslims

(RNS) Imam Dayaiee Abdullah never knows how many people are going to show up for Friday prayers.

Some weeks, nearly a dozen men and women gather at a Quaker hall in northwest Washington, D.C., where they kneel on prayer rugs laid out to transform the room into a Muslim place of worship.

Other weeks, Abdullah, a convert to Islam, sits alone.

He may be the only openly gay imam in the world, and he formed Light of Reform mosque more than two years ago so people like himself could worship without fear.

2. The murderer's father said it's wrong for people to murder homosexuals.

He said that instead we need to let god punish them himself.

But keep trying to believe that religion isn't a factor in homophobia.

3. It's not either or. It's complex

[sibelian]

4. ...

Stop it. Now.

[linuxman]

5. Let's play a game.

You link everything negative Trump said about gay peopke, and I'll respond with something far worse and violent that a Muslim leader, organization, or religious text has said about them. First one to run out of quotes lises. You go first.

At the end, well weigh the evidence and figure out what was likely the biggest motivator.

8. Who are you more afraid of?

"President Trump", or "Islamic Terrorists"? I know my answer. Isn't even close.

[linuxman]

9. I work in kabul.

Take a wild guess.

[philosslayer]

11. "President Trump" will make things 10 times worse for you in Kabul

So apparently we have the same answer.

[linuxman]

12. I really doubt who the president is will gave any affect here.

It doesn't really factor into the Afghan dynamic at this point.

[cwydro]

13. The OP just doesn't get it.

Never will.

Just here to cause problems.

[DesMoinesDem]

6. You are embarrassing yourself.

[Bonx]

10. Again.

[Oneironaut]

14. At best, that's delusional. At worst, outright distortion of the truth.

It's time to stop tip-toeing around the issue of radical Islam. It's embarrassing at this point.
