I don't think gay europeans should be poking a stick in the hornet's nest.
The Europeans didn't throw stones at the Muslims [in Europe]. I was quite young for most of my time in Europe I don't recall any laws against having parades or public gatherings where one could or would be seen by someone who would be offended. I'm quite certain both of my parents told me throwing rocks at people or property was against the law.
Ask the europeans that drew cartoons of mohammed how that worked out.. The ones that aren't dead.. If you can find them..
Not even close to being comparable. Living your life in your own country, peacefully practicing your chosen sexual orientation, is what they should be doing. I suppose you think everyone should stop being white having blue eyes, being Jewish or Christians because that offends the Muslims.
What you aren't comprehending here is that when you purposely go out of your way to offend a group that places zero value on your life or their own life rock throwing will be the least of your worries.
Those cartoonists purposely published those pictures to incite a response from a group that chops peoples heads off for fun.
So when they retaliate the world is appalled and can't understand why people that enjoy hacking off heads wouldn't hesitate to kill someone that offended them.
The unhinged extremists don't give a phuck about parades, laws or what you or anyone else thinks they should do or not do
Are those the kind of people you really want to give any additional motivation to?
I don't think so..
Saudi, Iraqi, Jordanian, and Iranian law does not apply in Sweden. Those particular Muslims CHOSE to live OUTSIDE the Arab countries where religion is the base of their laws. I'm sure they didn't throw a few tent poles a rug and a few pounds of dates on a camel and walk there. They know just like the Arabs in America know that the countries they live in have different people religions ideologies and sexual orientations.
Come to think of it NO MAJOR RELIGION looks kindly on homosexuality or transgendered.
The truth is members or former members of most religions to INCLUDE Islam have lbgt's. There are even some on t.v.
Charlie Hebdo was against discretion, the incident in Texas doubly so since people knew what happened in France. THIS IS DIFFERENT. It's not a portrayal of Allah, the profit Mohammed or ANY Muslim. The O.P. added the picture to the 'article'. They aren't marching in Mecca. They aren't having a parade in Damascus. They aren't dropping pamphlets in Tehran. That would be adding fuel to the fire. These are Swedes, planning a peaceful Swedish event in Sweden. If it ain't your kinda party go home.
Motivation... So what would you say motivated Azizz's shooting in Tennessee? Were the Marines and Sailors responsible or the coward who was disowned out of shame by his own Islamic family? You can tell me about motivation when YOU have to pick up pieces of screaming people blown off by a car bomb and tell them not to panic when the arm or leg you picked up isn't theirs. Tell me how much they care about religion in general when they strap their men women and children with explosives killing their own people in their own country.
That is not Islam. Anybody that believes their god (Jim Jones for example) thinks they should KILL INNOCENT CHILDREN is PSYCHOTIC. Anyone who uses a WOMAN or CHILD to carry explosives into a crowd IS NOT RELIGIOUS. They are serial killers by proxy.
