By Alice Aslan, published 15/3/2011

Under Islam homosexuals are a persecuted minority and can't be 'out-and-proud'.

Quote, "In the past most Muslim societies were sexually permissive"! Really, when? Who? Alice just uses racist abuse against "Colonials" The Ottoman Turks were the great colonisers of the middle East but Alice is just against Western people?
Not a good look Alice when you are asking Australia to be nicer to minorities

'Why do you give greater value to the unborn than to the living'
Simple science will tell you they are living. Speaking on behalf of them is not exalting them above or beneath other humans.

The ridiculous post either ignorantly or deceptively mis representing Christianity got the response it deserved.

Unborn or not, "living" or not, someone espousing old-testament inerrancy cannot object in principle to indiscriminate killing.

When christian churches stop blessing soldiers going to war, I might believe thay had the slightest genuine objection to killing.

Yet despite this you continue to argue for the death penalty. I suggest this is a personal view not one that is generally put forth by the Christian faith. I see it is okay for you to cherrypick as it suits.

Ignorant and deceptive are terms usually used in anger when it is clear an argument has no basis - otherwise it would stand on its own merit methinks.

It is interesting that you did not show equal outrage at the suggestion that homosexuals be annihilated as another poster mentioned above.

Pelican you write in defense of the indefensible
'It is interesting that you did not show equal outrage at the suggestion that homosexuals be annihilated as another poster mentioned above.

The simple fact is that homosexuals are not annihilated and if they were I would consider it the same as murderering the unborn. You would find far more Christians being annihilated than those practicing homosexuality throughout the world. Try just a little balance.

"Try just a little balance."

I will if you will.

My understanding was you were for the death penalty - if not it is my memory at fault. Is so apologies.
