If a country where many people follow a book that says homosexuals should be stoned to death are abusing homosexuals I think it is naive to dismiss the connection.

And yes, Europe nowadays is quite tolerant, and I am very thankful to live there myself as a queer man, but it was a very different story in many countries only 100 years ago.

You can thank the European overlords pushing christianity everywhere during the colonial ages for shit like this.

Not that the islam is much better in other regions, but nigeria is christian afaik

I will never claim that all jews are bad because Israel is fucked up, nor will I ever claim that all catholics are bad because of the Spanish Inquisition or all muslims are bad because of the terrorists. It is true that not all people who follow those religions are bad.

However, one cannot deny the religious motivations. They are doing this because they believe that their sky daddy promised them that land, just like the catholics who did commit the inquisition believed their sky daddy wanted a pure catholic europe, and the racidal muslims believe their sky daddy wants to punish unvelievers/misbelievers.
