    People hide behind all sorts of ideologies to malign those they don't want to understand.

    It's simple, 'God sez'. Unfortunately the minutes taken from any alleged God meeting can be interpreted a number of ways. Folk tend to read them in a way that suits their agenda or subscribe to a religion that fits their personality. Madness. No religious person should ever be let anywhere near a position of authority IMO.

    Didn't Jesus hang out with outcasts, stick it to the man and forgive sinners?

    Its odd but I notice that catholics use religion to defend many of their incorrect beliefs, even non practicing catholics. Christians is probably a better fit. Muslims on the other hand are far more devout but don't let it affect the daily lives as much.

    How can a belief be incorrect? All religions are built on it.

    Is Islam they just throw you off a roof or hang you, Bigoted Christians may have some hatred but it is nothing compared to the vitriol Islam spews towards Homosexuals. Yet the LGBT lobby defend Islam when they are criticized, wheras Muslims would enforce Sharia Law and persecute Gay people.

    It depends if the fish chew the cud, but divide not the hoof. Or chew not the cud, but divide the hoof.

    Maybe you know very secular Muslims, probably of Lebanese/Turkish/Bosnian or from the former Soviet States, because they tend to have a very 'laissez faire' attitude towards life, but the ones from the Middle East and Gulf States, and ASEAN - its an all inclusive thing imposing across all areas of life and conduct.

    I think you've got it mixed up there. :)

    Any Arab lad I've met over the years was a hoor for gambling and drinking.

    Why do homophobes and bigots in general use religion to excuse their disgusting and callous behavior? It’s pathetic and as far removed from my understanding of the term “Christian” as possible.

    Maybe too, ask Saudi Arabia on their exact views?
    Instead of some random individual in Ohio.

    They (SA) also currently sit upon United Nations 'Human Rights' Council.
    Assume the recent 'off with his head (x37) public showcase' was overlooked?

    Of course it didn't feature much on Skynews (may be sponsor€d by Q-airways).

    Thats once they get out from under the supervisory restrictions of the society they're living in.

    Religion is often used to bash transgender people too. If religion wasn't around everyone no matter how different they are would have a better quality of life.

    I was countering the generalising they are all devout and prone to sharia law. Just the few I've met. Never said I met them all. Also God told me so....

    It's context. A comedian will make fun of himself or a majority, because it's not seen as mean spirited. Picking on a minority often a repressed minority, not so much.

    Which left would this be Fine Gael or the Republican party? The left run f*** all.
    Keep voting in the same shams and blaming parties on 5% or below for ruining things ;)

    The donor gave to St Jude Children’s Research hospital instead of this specific family in Ohio. It’ll do good there also.

    The state of Ohio who can find hundreds of millions for sports venues for football franchises couldn’t or wouldn’t pay $7,600
