What, me bigot!? Part two
Apparently, being opposed to the construction of one building in a certain place makes me entirely hateful to and intolerant of a world religion comprised of over a billion people. This doesn't make very much sense, to me at least. I publicly ask any that would accuse me one thing. Does the imam that you stand with unconditionally believe in gay rights? In women's rights? In the right of everyone to choose their own religion and way of life? Because if those like me, like most Americans, most human beings, are shut down by the moniker of bigotry, silenced by the accusation of Islamophobia, and any opposition to anything less than religious extremism vanishes, how do you expect these beloved allies of yours to treat gays? Women? Atheists? Are they the tolerant ones and us the ones unable to accept others' differing opinions? Ask yourself how a caliphate would treat freedom of lifestyles. Do this first, and then accuse ME of being intolerant. Is Iran such a liberal paradise? Palestine under Hamas? You tell me.
