[Notwithstanding]

Not that it excuses his bahavior....

but do you really think there is no differece between an adolescent boy losing his dad to a gay man and an adult losing thier daughter to a lesbian?

This then-adolescent boy did not know where to turn and finds stability in a strict religion. It explains only his attraction to Islam. The traitor thing is his own fault, but we should all be glad to see that the "alternative lifestyle" has been exposed as the main factor that began Walker's walk toward Islamic fundamentalism.

Low estimate of the number of children in lesbian and gay households is 6 million. Evidence suggests that no bigger proportion than the "regular" population are drug addicted, engaged in criminal, violent and self destructive behavior, or otherwise anti-social. Not too many Taliban either.
