People on DU don't hate all Muslims, they hate the horrible treatment of women and homosexuals that is common in many parts of the Islamic world, a horrible treatment that is now making its way to Europe thanks to Islamic migration.

They also hate the fact that too many progressives are willing to forsake women and members of the LGBT community in favor of deflecting or even ignoring what some of the Islamic migrants have done.

When there is the first attack on a gay bar or a gay festival by Islamic migrants in Europe, those progressives will be tripping over themselves to list all the anti-LGBT attacks that have occurred at the hands of non-Muslims.
