I’ll elaborate.

We are getting more and more news about the evils of Islam. They cut off the genitals of little girls, stone women for being raped, arrest people for kissing on the beach, ban music, hit women with sticks or spit on them if their ankle shows, marry women to filthy old men, practice serial one hour divorces to excuse their adultery, refuse medical attention to women, refuse education to women, beat kids as they instruct them that all non-Muslims are to be murdered, strap explosives onto handicapped children for suicide bombs, etc.

They also oppose homosexuality.

I fear that as we reject all the evils of Islam, we, as Americans, may think we must therefore embrace stuff like homosexuality, porn, fornication, drunkenness and etc., because Islam supposedly opposes it. We want to be on the opposite side, right?

(Even though there is heavy porn use, plenty of rape, and drunkenness in Moslem countries).

In other words, I don’t want to see the West, the U.S., us, promoting perversion because the Muslims condemn it. As though that is the answer, or as though that is freedom.

I sense it as a trap, that in our zeal to oppose Islam (which I certainly do) we might inadvertently behave as though some of the immoral behaviors I’ve listed are ok. They are not ok.

Wow, that’s as convoluted a rational as I’ve ever heard, all due respect, please don’t think I’m jumping down your throat but cause does not always equal effect. Why would you think this would be the case if Americans learn more about the evils of Islam? I don’t see any evidence of that. Plenty of Americans are capable of denouncing Islam without jumping into a moral sewer.
