Sure, and those who are in charge are generally not seen committing the attacks, so I think the point stands.
Hmm, I worded that poorly. I meant the reason why those people are attracted to ISIS, etc. in the first place is not the radical ideology and those heads understand this better than the media lets on. It should be telling that so much of their recruitment comes from Westernized Muslim youth who were not especially religious or radical in their youth.

It had nothing to do with religion, except that the religion told me to hate gays, father says. What an incredible statement. Christianity? Imagine if the shooter didn't want to bake a cake for those 100+ gays he shot. Obama would have been all over that radical Christian terrorism
Hey man refusing to bake a cake is on the same level as murdering gays senselessly. This isn't just a muslim problem. Republicans have treated gays equally bad.

In the context of how the events will be perceived by people who think all muslims are terrorists, I don't think the distinction is very important. All that is needed is association, and the association is there.

He took no time in taking credit for predicting terrorism would happen again, somewhere, someplace.

gays are not allowed to donate blood in many countries. Same as you are not allowed to donate blood in Germany, if you had extended stays in Great Britain during the 80s, you had sex with prostitutes or you had a recent vacation in certain tropical regions. It is just about risk groups...

its hilarious watching the "lock'em up and throw away the key" law and order gang try to say that the death penalty deters suicides...

the blood supply in Canada is safer than in the US and gay men can donate blood in Canada and have been able to do so for 20 years. its a BS policy.

yep, it is
There are actually certain other events, but this were the ones I remember. I was a regular donor until 3 years ago, so don't remember the entire list of reasons of not being allowed to donate. Could probably find it online.

Sorry for the slightly off-topic posting, but considering:
[Gay Men] represent about 4% of the male population in the United States, in 2010, MSM accounted for 78% of new HIV infections among males and 63% of all new infections. MSM accounted for 54% of all people living with HIV infection in 2011, the most recent year these data are available.

There may be a viable reason that certain states don't allow it. I don't really have an opinion either way, but to say that its a BS policy when I think they're doing it to keep others safe, is naive.

Great post, thanks for sharing. Did not know about this study.

Gay men cannot donate blood in Canada only if they havent had sex in the last 5 years with no history of HIV with testing.
Its not quite so simple as they can in Canada btw

I thought everyone knew about that study I've seen it a million times.
@ClanRH.TV
I've updated the OP. Not really sure if its the right way to construct it but I'll put updated news at the top of the post.

I feel like Britain has some of the most successful Muslim integration in the world but even then around half of British Muslims believe Homosexuality should be illegal.
I think i saw a graph pointing that out earlier in this thread.
