(45,319 posts)Typical of defense of religion, this cartoon is hypocritical as shit and a simple lie which suggests that only one of the two faiths characterized is anti gay. That's a lie, it's bullshit. Islam and Christianity are both riddled with anti gay actions, persons and rhetoric, many Islamic governments have utterly horrific anti gay laws with punishments including death by stoning. But this bloodthirsty and bigoted cartoon claims that Muslims and gays are both the victims of one bad faith-Baptists- when LGBT people suffer actual physical harm much greater under Islamic oppression than the vulgar picketing of Westboro.
And of course that cartoon is the only cartoon in this OP to use an actual slur, a piece of actual hate verbiage. 'Fags'. And of course a defense of religion does not mind tossing out anti gay slurs in order to imply that a religion that is extremely anti gay stands with and defends LGBT against their mutual enemies, Republicans and Baptists.
Dishonest, slur laden, exploitative and typical of religious defenses.
