You think Islam is normal and good because you are a Muslim.
But there is no dearth of bigoted individuals who will argue that it is "abnormal and antisocial" to practice Islam, and that it preaches violence and hatred. Like I said, they'll use many of the same arguments you are to rationalize their hatred of Muslims.
Again, not quite true Janabi....I'm a gori born and raised in US by parents of european descent....I think Islaam is good and normal because it IS. And so do the people who are educated enough to tell the difference between extremists and mainstream, yeah? There are both of these types in the USA I guess, but the majority of people I've met can tell the difference because they educate themselves about the reality of the religion, know what I mean?
And no matter HOW educated I am or how much I read, I see nothing normal about practicing a homosexual lifestyle. The two just cannot be compared in my mind. One is normal, the other is definitely not, the practicers of homosexuality while I support them in their endeavors to obtain benefits and to be able to live their private lives, they're still FAR from normal IMHO.
