Michael Lucas is a fucking bigot. He said he hates Muslims...

[Violet_Crumble]

Just because someone's gay doesn't give them an exemption where saying 'I hate Muslims' isn't bigoted. Bigotry in oppressed minorities is as unacceptable as it is when it comes to anyone else.

Hatred of Muslims is every bit as unacceptable as hatred of the LGBT community...

1. The point is,Violet,

Homophobic countries(or potential)should not be allowed to continue their evil ways.

As far as I am concerned ,all aid should be witheld in such cases.

2. The point is that yr defending an outright bigot who said he hates Muslims...

I find it telling that you don't want to talk about the Islamophobia of Michael Lucas and want to turn the discussion into homophobia. You do realise he said he hates Muslims, and didn't say he hates homophobia in some Muslims countries?

3. This thread ,Violet,is all about homophobia,

If you want to start a thread about Islamaphobia, go ahead,I will agree that it is Evil and contribute.

But please do not try DEFLECT from the very serious issue of Gay hatred and violence in Muslim countries and territories,by hijacking this one with an attempt to change the subject.

That is just offensive !

4. You posted something written by Michael Lucas, who's an Islamophobe...

If you don't want people to respond to what you post, then maybe DU isn't the place for you?

[King_David]

5. Another offensive post.

DU is not a place for a progressive Jew who is militant in his/her support for LGBT rights,without exception ?

Are you for real , Violet ?

6. If I'd said that, it would be offensive, but I didn't...

I said in response to yr comment that people shouldn't talk about Islamophobia in this thread: 'You posted something written by Michael Lucas, who's an Islamophobe. If you don't want people to respond to what you post, then maybe DU isn't the place for you?' I didn't say anything at all about DU not being a place for progressive LBGT Jews and wouldn't say anything like that...
