@Sensimuse The you agree Sharia law & all those who advocate it are fanatical and should be treated as such??

[Sensimuse]

@joe035 Never did I advocate murder nor did I claim that it was humane. I'm merely pointing out that you're underplaying the significance of psychological and physical torment that homosexuals can face on a daily basis. You say everyone must deal with the alienation, yet I highly doubt that it's affected your life much past middle school. In the end, the homosexuals that live in this country are less affected by Sharia as by the blatant ignorance and inhumanity of homophobes that also live here.

[joe035]

@Sensimuse You make out as if burying homosexuals up to their necks to be stoned to death as humane treatment! Homosexuals are Individuals just like you & me, EVERYONE must deal with some sort of alienation/humiliation sometime in their lives at least their not being murdered for being who they are like with Sharia & the fanatics that advocate it. LOL Amazing never thought I would hear anyone advocate murder of homosexuals as being humane?

[Sensimuse]

@joe035 YOU would rather be ridiculed than be put to death, but can you even put yourself in the shoes of individuals who face this slander on a daily basis? Whose lives are destroyed and even dictated by separatism and ignorance? When's the last time you were denied employment due to your sexual orientation, or neglected and isolated by your parents because of it? Psychological torture is far more prevalent in this society and has much graver consequences than physical in the long term.

@joe035 We finished talking six months ago, so why are you starting this up again? We'll never agree. Get a life.

[joe035]

@Sensimuse Being stoned to death legally under Sharia law is a far cry from an individual calling a homosexual a fag. I would rather be called a fag or any other form of slander then to be stoned to death by a law these so called peaceful Imams would like the USA to accept. Sharia law & those who advocate it are fanaticals & should be jailed.. Action trumps advocacy, how long before advocacy of Sharia becomes action??

[Sensimuse]

@joe035 Violence is violence. Action trumps advocacy every time, and just because we don't have laws dictating the execution of homosexuals doesn't mean that homosexuals aren't executed in this country. For many, the constant humiliation and attacks from people on a daily basis are worse than being put to death. Rarely does extreme discrimination ever stop at just words.

[joe035]

@GrumpyShow We are a country of laws not men. Eminant domain laws have established property that better serves the public can be bought at fair market value to be used by any means the elected government decides. California tore down a Christian church to build more apartment complexes, should a mosque not built yet be exempt from the same criteria as a Christian Church?

[joe035]

@Sensimuse Sharia law is FANATICAL, in which alleged moderate Imams have advocated the USA to be compliant if by no other means then the wombs of their muslim women.

There is a significant difference between individuals discriminating or behaving violently against homosexuals & a muslim law advocating their murder, don't you think?? Those people arrested should have been put before a military tribunal long ago, convicted or freed. Patriot Act is unconstitutional!

[Sensimuse]

@joe035 Also, keep in mind that the "fanatics" you speak of exist in every social structure ever created, including Christianity and even government. That can't objectively be used as justification for hatred or discrimination, unless you're willing to point out the same injustices that occur in the U.S. You say Sharia law honors the stoning of homosexuals, yet don't acknowledge the unfair and violent treatment of homosexuals in the U.S. Or how about unlawful torture under the Patriot Act?
