You make my blood boil so the conversation ends here. Not even worth talking to.

Why? Because you believe gay people should have the right to have sexual relationships with other gay people? Do blind people have the right to see? Do sterile people have the right to give birth? Do paralysed people have the right to walk? No.

You're just embarrassing the whole Muslim community now. I just read out to my Muslim friend what you said and his reply was this "Please don't judge all of us Muslims based on this idiot".

As I said you are a perfect example of why when I think of muslims the ONE word that springs to mind is

Intolerance

Smh, he obviously isn't a practising Muslim.

Read this fully, and understand it properly, and make him read it, then come back with a reply:

Why would a Muslim accept different views and beliefs? That...would just make them a non-Muslim. Are you dumb?

He says "don't take the Qur'an literally" and if god exists he will judge depending on whether the person is good or not. For example, a non-muslim who saves lives being a doctor and is a very honest, caring person can still get to heaven and if Allah isn't like that then it's not a god I want to believe in.

I know he is spectacular in this respect but I see the same attitude towards my sexuality from quite intelligent muslims as well

I have a Muslim friend at school and we are cool but for some reason I judt think of the "t" word when people talk about Muslims.

I guess it is a stereotype thing.

It's called tolerance

that you don't is why I think 'intolerance' when I think of muslims

So if a Christian doesn't believe in the same beliefs as a Hindu does that make him 'intolerant'?
