Lol this thread is still on the first page and Islam apologetics are already chiming in. There is many passages in the Quran that state homesexual acts are a punishable act and sin. Hence why ISIS throws LBTQ of roofs etc. Judging by the assailants name, this man is Muslim and he was just following the instructions of the violent scripture called the Quran.
Wonder how long until the mods hode this post. *Cough* Liberal Censorship *cough*
Alright, I didn't think I'd have to, but here we go.
It's also arguable that homosexuality is condemmed by christianity. You can't blame a religion for the acts of its followers. And you can't blame all of its followers for the acts of few. Especially when (the book of swords) isn't something usually studied in depth by anyone other than extremists.
So lets look at some politically unbiased facts. It's Ramadan. If he was actually extremely devoted to his religion (when we have sources stating otherwise) he wouldn't have done this during ramadan. Commiting a violent act during this holy period goes entirely against their religion and essentially is the same as a Christain saying "you know, Jesus wasn't real probably" its not something that someone EXTREMELY devoted to their religion would do.
Next, you seem to think that ALL muslims are exactly the same and follow the exact same teachings. Its also quite ironic then that there are so many lgbt muslims. Something that should theoretically be impossible acording to your racist bigoted statement.
And finally, there was no ISIS 911 call. This man was not "following his religion" do not use the death of 51 people in a hate crime to fuel your racist islamophobic agenda. This was a crime against gay men, very specifically at a gay bar on a night that said bar would be full of latin@ people. If this was really a "hate-for-america" fueled attack, he would have targeted a more white venue wouldn't you think? Not to mention that ISIS's primary targets so far have been muslim people and there hasn't been any direct ISIS attacks in our country so far, so your hateful retoric goes right out the door, where it belongs.
If he was really an extremist, this wouldn't have happened today. Period. If you're just going to outright say that ALL muslims are like this, then this would have happened a long time ago. There are millions of muslims in the world, more than almost every other religion. If they were all just "following their religion" you would be living in a fucking war zone. Your hateful assumtions of a culture that you know absolutely nothing about are worthless and only spread more hate.
Also, shut the fuck up about ~Libral Censorship~ For one, libral doesn't even mean what it was originally coined to mean anymore. Its just a throwaway word that people use to make their weak arguments sound stronger. And for two, telling people not to be hateful and racist of completely innocent people isn't a bad thing. Censorship isn't always a bad thing. Censorship can be defensive, censorship can be constructive. Censorship is how we started the fight against terrible, hateful people like the Nazis, ISIS and the KKK. Censorship is how we end hate. If you have a problem with that, you are a part of the problem.
I'm not going to be apologetic, and I'm not going to stand around while you sling your baseless opinions around like some kind of grade school bully. Take a minute to actually think about what you're assuming and you'll quickly see how fucking ignorant it is.
