Closer to reality is that he hates all infidels, sure, that includes homosexuals. ISIS freaks don't yell hallelujah, they yell allah akbar.Homophobia - regardless of the religion behind it - is what drove this person to do what he did. He hated homosexuals and I'm not sure what difference it makes whether he yells "allah akbar" or "halleluja".
If he generically hated all infidels, he would not have chosen a specifically homosexual venue.
he chose a soft target which LOGICALLY would not include muslims since muslim homos are rarely out of the closet. He wanted to murder lots of American boys to please his daddy and be a muslim hero
He chose a place where, according to those who frequented it, he had been hanging out for 3 years.
it's called----in my town CASING THE JOINT
it was a BIG OPERATION
Probably from Ayers, Obama, and the CIA.The arab boys who shot up the BENEDICT CAFE (benedict?? yup) in Sarona, Tel Aviv-----were not in any way making it obvious
what they were-------they wore business suits---
a form of dress that neither arabs in Israel use---or---for that matter, jews in Israel use----TOURISTS do it-----they even ordered cake.

Coyote is blabbing from the stance that he was just a poor confused homosexual who couldn't properly process his feelings. If he had only been provided a proper sexual outlet, I think she's saying, he would have been just fine! It has nothing to do with his family, or their country of origin, or the warnings given out days beforehand, or Isis. And anybody who says any different is just a big homophobic islamophobic, so there!

Did you know that, in a Christian country like America - that is, a country that has historically appealed to God, legal tradition, and Enlightenment theory to articulate its jurisprudence - a country in which Christianity is embedded in the common law - when someone commits an offense in the name of Christ, even an offense against gays, he is prosecuted?I would not trust any Christer's new found support for gay Americans.The Global Divide on Homosexuality
Greater Acceptance in More Secular and Affluent Countries
Some unsurprising information - most Muslim-majority nations show significant majorities stating that homosexuality should not be accepted. What is surprising though - is significant numbers in non-Muslim countries such as S. Korea, China, El Salvadore and in Africa: Ghana, Uganda and Kenya, both Christian majority are over 90% unwilling to accept homosexuality.
"The survey of publics in 39 countries finds broad acceptance of homosexuality in North America, the European Union, and much of Latin America, but equally widespread rejection in predominantly Muslim nations and in Africa, as well as in parts of Asia and in Russia. Opinion about the acceptability of homosexuality is divided in Israel, Poland and Bolivia."
On the other hand, the trend in developed and more secular countries is towards greater tolerance of homosexuality, including among immigrant populations.
The report also notes a strong relationship between religiousity and anti-homosexual attitudes that correlates with both Islam, Christianity and even Judaism, with secular Jews in Israel being far more tolerant than religious Jews:
"There is a strong relationship between a country’s religiosity and opinions about homosexuality.2 There is far less acceptance of homosexuality in countries where religion is central to people’s lives – measured by whether they consider religion to be very important, whether they believe it is necessary to believe in God in order to be moral, and whether they pray at least once a day."Another interesting point is that this increased tolerance is also reflected in immigrant populations to secular countries: Section 5: Political Opinions and Social Values, specifically Muslims. The overall national trend is towards greater acceptance, and though the trend is still lower than the rest of America, it is still trending towards greater acceptance.
Acceptance of homosexuality has risen significantly among those with high levels of religious commitment (from 16% in 2007 to 30% today) as well as those with medium levels of religious commitment (from 21% in 2007 to 37% today). However, those who express a low level of religious commitment continue to be more accepting (57%) than those with a high religious commitment (30%). Four years ago, 47% of those with low religious commitment said homosexuality should be accepted, compared with 16% among those who express a high commitment.
Whether Muslim Americans were born in the U.S. or immigrated here seems to make little difference in views toward homosexuality. Currently, 41% of the native born say homosexuality should be accepted, about the same as the 38% of foreign born who say this. In both cases, the numbers are up since 2007 (30% among the native born, 26% among the foreign born).
Given the recent tragedy in Orlando, which is driving a new furvor of anti-muslimism and a sudden new finding of "pro-gay sentiment" amongst formerly gay-hating demographics - it might be a good idea to look at actual trends within the US, and what really goes on around the world - including gay-hating non-Muslim countries that seem to get a free pass.
That "support" didn't exist before this incident. It certainly wasn't there when Eric Rudolph carried out his bombings. Presumably, it's only a crime when Muslims do it. I'm sure that "support" will disapate when this becomes old news. What's truly ironic is to see those who's posts have been filled with hate filled anti-gay memes suddenly sporting a hypocritical rainbow.

We are not a Christian country, but rather a secular country with secular laws. Until relatively recently in our history, we had laws against sodomy. Prior to 1962, being convicted of sodomy was a felony in every state, with sentences ranging from lengthy imprisonment (up to life), hard labor, castration. That was when we when Christianity had a greater influence on our legal structure and yes...they were prosecuted.

In 1811, a year after John Ruggles publically slandered Jesus Christ and His mother Mary in a New York pub, he was tried and jailed for blasphemy. In his opinion on the ruling, Chief Justice of New York, James Kent, said, “The people of this state, in common with the people of this country, profess the general doctrines of Christianity, as the rule of their faith and practice; and to scandalize the author of these doctrines is not only, in a religious point of view, extremely impious, but, even in respect to the obligations due to society, is a gross violation of decency and good order.” The sentence seems harsh, even by nineteenth-century measures, but it asserted a legal connection between Christianity and American republicanism.
Attorney and jurist Joseph Story observed that Christianity was part of the common law. A virtuous people, said Story, believe that piety, religion, and morality are “indispensable to the administration of civil justice.” In his treatise on the Constitution, Story writes that the real object of the First Amendment “was, not to countenance, much less to advance Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among Christian sects.”

very very rarely prosecuted-----I grew up in a land (usa land) before 1962 which had all kinds of laws on
the books--------eg MISSIONARY POSITION ONLY for married couples-----my little town was a little peyton place------the cops were all 6'6" and carried cannons on their belts and enough ammo to sustain a war------and followed THE LAW TO THE LETTER-----none of the WELL-KNOWN sex stuff (I knew about it before I had any idea what it was)---was ever
prosecuted

Sodomy laws and adultery laws are examples of the Christianity embedded in our legal tradition. Some of these laws are off the books now, to be sure, but whether off or on the books, Christianity and republicanism are, indeed our tradition, and offenses committed in the name of Christ have been subject to prosecution, and they have not been scriptural.
