    It’s not just Muslims that are fundamentalist extremists. But of every major religion, Islam has the highest rate of that kind of extremism

    Not really…

    There’s over 1.7 billion Muslims in the world, that’s a lot of people.

    But there is no Christian version of the Taliban state or ISIS

    So basically you’re saying we can just ignore all the countries where they’re trying to do it, just ignore them till their in power?

    Nah, I don’t see how that helps anyone except Christian extremists.

      I’m not saying we should ignore anything. I’m saying we shouldn’t ignore the extremely high rate of extremism within Islam.

      But if you want to prove me wrong, point to a single Muslim country where apostasy and homosexuality are socially accepted

        I’m saying we shouldn’t ignore the extremely high rate of extremism within Islam.

        And I’m saying you don’t seem to understand how large a number 1.7 billion is…

        But if you want to prove me wrong, point to a single Muslim country where apostasy and homosexuality are socially accepted

        Lebanon

        Can you name a country where the Christian majority do that?

        They’re openly against LGBT because “the Bible says so” and they claim they have to follow it.

        The Bible also says if anyone even starts questioning if they should still be Christian, then they need to be executed to prevent the spread.

        So they might not say it, but they’re all about it, or just lying hypocrites who are making the personal choice to harass people who are LGBT.

          Lebanon isn’t a Muslim nation. It has a significant Muslim plurality. And homosexuality is de facto illegal there AND extremely socially unacceptable, with 85% of Lebanese people saying it should be “rejected by society.”

          Give me a Muslim nation where homosexuality and apostasy are both legal and socially acceptable.

            By that logic there’s no “Christian country” to compare them too, and your point makes even less sense.

            I’ll be honest tho, I didn’t think you’d last this long without openly being full of shit

            Congrats? You made it two whole comments

              That’s what I thought.

              There’s not a single fucking Muslim country where I wouldn’t face dramatic persecution as an apostate or my gay friends for loving who they do.

              No, dip shit. Lebanon is 48% Muslim. That’s a plurality. It’s 45% Christian, 5% Druze, and the rest minor groups.

              A “Muslim country” is one which has a dominant majority Muslim population for the purposes of this conversation. That describes dozens of nations. Show me one of them where it’s legal and acceptable to be gay and an apostate.

              PS even if I pretended Lebanon was a Muslim nation it still wouldn’t pass that test

          Since you edited your post after I replied like a dirty little liar, here’s a second reply.

          Can I name a Christian majority country where being gay is generally acceptable, being an apostate is generally acceptable, and both are legal? Yeah. Canada, the US, Australia, Spain, the UK, France, Germany, etc, etc, etc.

              Hey just an fyi, because you don’t seem to be aware - a fairly large part of ignoring someone is, well, ignoring them.
