We cannot judge them to our western values, morals and standards
Why?
Because that would make us ethnocentric, which makes us no better than them.
What in UK ? lol. You must be mad. We will just send the Army in if the EDL dont beat them to it. That applies to all who will violently offer dissent, be it football hooligans of radical jews.
That isn’t what happens at all though, you are terribly naive if you believe that.
I have been physically attacked by islamists for what I presume was holding hands with my girlfriend, the police had no interest at all in investigating it when reported. This was in France though, not the UK.
I do wonder how long a similar thread on homosexuality or race, would last on this site before the owner quite rightly shut it down. It appears Islamophobia, so rampant in our society today, has become the ‘norm’ and therefore acceptable.

How does criticising the practice of executing gay people make us as bad as people who execute gay people?
That is litterally what you are saying.

Why do you think that Islam is comparable to sexuality to race?
It should be compared to any other ideology, lets say communism for example. Should the conversation be shut down if I mentioned that millions of people were intentionally starved to death by communist govenrments so we should be careful of what parts of communism we allow people to practice?
I suspect you don’t realize, or even understand that homosexuals are also barbarically murdered in America
That is quite a claim, please provide some evidence.
and other non Muslim societies by Christians.
Certainly in other countries this is a problem, and it is wrong that they do that. But I am not in that country, and I have no power to change the society there. I can chance society here, I can have these discussions, and I can vote.
I could post a Daily Mail link couldn’t I, you don’t do evidence thought Draculina do you, that opposes your view, you dismiss it as “left wing” marxist nonsense. We have been here already.

Nice evidence
I would have used the Pulse nightclub shooting as evidence in the US personally, but that was by a muslim … so
Although I didn’t realise gay people were targeted so much in Brazil, thankyou for brining that to my attention.

That implies you endorse the word phobia, and see this fear as irrational. Please explain why its irrational, and dont you have legitimate concern or fear of terrorism when in London or Afghanistan, Iraq or Somalia?
The fact as you say has become the norm and acceptable, isnt that proof the fear is rational rather than irrational. I personally dismiss the term Islamophobia and orefer the term anti-muslim.
