And ... in the interests of balance I am ashamed to say in my own country:

Fire has seriously damaged a mosque in Toowoomba on Queensland's Darling Downs.
The blaze broke out just before 2:00am (AEST) inside the brick building in West Street in Toowoomba.
Firefighters managed to put it out but it caused significant damage.
Police are treating it as an arson attack and have begun doorknocking homes in the area.
Scenes of crime and forensic police officers are at the scene.
It is the second such attack on the mosque this year.Last edited by pancreasman; 04-16-2015, 06:55 PM.

If, at this point, you are still too stupid to acknowledge the basic facts, or you see some giant conspiracy, fine, whatever."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

So yeah, basically going "HA! Look at these people who support gay rights and act badly!" is weak and accomplishes nothing. It's also a bit hypocritical itself, since I know I've seen you complain vehemently when Internet atheists flaunt instances of bad behavior from Christians for the sole purpose of mocking Christianity.Learn to do right; seek justice.

I think it is very telling that when Christians do something that radical liberals and homosexuals don't like, they make a huge deal about it and say "Look how evil and intolerant Christians are" - and when radical liberals and homosexuals do something like this and terrorize Christians, their response is "yeah maybe they went a bit too far, but who can blame them? Christians are so evil and intolerant"

Pointing out that most progressives are evil in their progressiveness serves as equivalent counter-balance, which is why fm93 is trying to disqualify it.

Second of all, who in the world are you conversing with that actually mentions "tolerance" as a point of argument? I see plenty of gay rights supporters calling conservative Christians bigots and homophobes, but I don't actually see them calling Christians intolerant. It's probably the term that gets thrown around the least, but you focus on it as if it's the one used the most.
Finally, no one in this thread has said anything remotely similar to that, so I have no clue what the relevance of that last post was.Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.--Isaiah 1:17
