when a person's religion says: 'homosexuals should be killed' and then an imam comes and speaks about it and recommends it, and when people all around you are saying that homosexuality is evil, I think it's dishonest to say that the belief system had nothing to do with it. And it allows the next murderer to do just that.

when a Christian priest or pastor says something that destructive, the mainstream Christian community condemns it 100%. There is no 'it's evil, but let God be the judge' or similar judges. Hating gays is wrong.

Gay people are like everyone else and deserve support and love. Any religion that says otherwise is homophobic and good people should not accept that.
