Muslim Exremists advocate teaching 4 year olds to hate Jews...and by the age of 10 they are taught how to kill them.
Should we define Islam using that information?
how do you define "extremist" when there is only a matter of degrees between the "extreme" and the "mainstream"?
it's ok to pray away the gay but not punch it away?
Sure it is...becuase trying to pray away the gay is you following your faith where it has no affect on anyone else.
Beating the gay out has an affect on somebody else.
WHy do you care what people do in their minds?
Heck...I really dont care what people do period...as long as I do not need to adjust my life to accommodate them.
You should try the same tyupe of thinking...It works well for me. I have friends of all walks of life, of all races, of all ideologies and of all sexual preferences...although I dumped that guy that liked to do dogs

..
But what others pray about is none of my business.
But punch someone you dont agree with?>
Not on my watch. I will get right in your face.
