The Arabic extremists are a bunch of scumbags who deserve terrible things. We get that.
Conservatives acting like that isn't a small percentage of Muslims are just ignorant.

A small percentage of Muslims are actually terrorists. But how many of the overall population thinks terrorism is ok? There are polls where Muslims are asked if they think suicide bombing civilian targets is ok and while those percentages are generally the minority, the numbers are still disturbing. For example: If 25% of people in Turkey think suicide bombings can be justified then that's...what? Like 20 million people that support suicide bombing civilians in that country alone? Hard to hear numbers like that and not wince.

Ok.

The problem is when liberals whine about how horrible and intolerant Christians are in America, while in the Middle East beating women and killing homosexuals is completely normal and accepted behavior, and that's not even the radicals.

This problem is a result of the culture they grew up with in their own countries. Their religion isn't the main problem with their train of though. I probably didn't explain myself well but I was mainly referring to Muslims who live in America. White Americans who live in dominant white areas are afraid of these Muslim Americans because of the way they look. I've met hundreds of Muslims in Queens and not a single one had violent tendencies towards women or white people. They were just average plain old boring Americans whether they were born here or not. Rednecks in the south are very violent towards their significant other and prejudice. Should we judge all of them and kick them out of the country?

They are only tolerant compared to the right. Which is what makes it really sad.

Not wanting to be outwardly supportive and accepting of something like the LGBTQ community, but not wanting to interfere with their goals is being tolerant.

Some individuals get very upset if you voice disapproval of some things, even though you preface it with no desire to interfere with their trajectory, and accuse you of bigotry. I realize this is not a majority of people, but its a significant portion.

Disapproving of gay people is like disapproving of gravity or the weather. You either "support" it or you are fool that everyone should point and laugh at.

Also, what is the point of voicing disapproval of things if you are perfectly fine with the things happening? "I disapprove of you being attracted to the same sex and wish you would stop it, but go ahead and get rights if you want." That's more patronizing than tolerant. Sexuality is not taste in movies. Respectfully disagreeing is not actually respectful. Tolerance is about more than not actively interfering with someone's rights. If I scream racial epithets at someone but respect their 1st Amendment rights, am I really being tolerant?

Tolerance implies that you dislike or disagree with people but you put up with them anyway. Liberals love minorities, LGBT, etc., so I don't really see that as "tolerance." Ironically the right is more tolerant than the left because they're more likely to tolerate people with different opinions.

But I am not talking about people who deny the existence of gay people. I am talking about those who "disagree" with homosexuality. If it's raining outside, no one cares that you think it is sunny. It just isn't true. You'd be delusional, not disagreeing. There really isn't room for tolerance as there are right and wrong answers. You tolerate religious people. You tolerate Rick and Morty fans. You tolerate Taylor Swift. You don't tolerate the truth.

If a subjective statement is objectively wrong, then it really isn't subjective. I'm a staunch atheist and the existence of God is a better debate than homosexuality being an opinion. It just is a thing. There is a difference between disagreeing on the best Halo game and disagreeing on the freezing point of water.

Facts require proof. I can show you documentation on the annexation of California into the United States. You cannot prove that homosexuality is good, because that is inherently influenced by personal ideals.

Are you trying to argue homosexuality is bad?

I cannot prove that hamsters are good, but I can prove they exist. So you either accept that and are correct or you refuse to accept it and you are wrong. "I disagree with homosexuality" is an invalid statement. "I disagree with reality" is not a valid opinion despite what a certain Presidential administration might post on Twitter.

Now you're just spouting nonsense. Just accept that whether something is good or bad is an opinion that hinges on personal feelings and perspectives.

Me? No, I am very supportive of LGBTQ and take a very deferral live and let live stance. I am just trying to extend an olive branch, since I know plenty of people who dont personally approve but will not volunteer that or actively seek to impede anything. Just trying to extend an olive branch I guess.

I never really understood why tolerance was seen as evil.
