As for Gay marriage its unislamic to us Muslims not to them they can do it but why are we forced to accept their values and Animalistic behaviors.Why should my daughter ask me daddy Benjamin has two daddies why should my kids grow up in such a society why are we encouraging this kind of life style?

Emperioir you must realize that the world is a very big and diverse place. Either we learn to get along and tolerate one another or we will be fighting constantly. Freedom of expression is a right that people have in liberal democracies, but I agree that inflammatory rhetoric and slander is not very effective in getting one’s points across and there are legal ways of resolving cases in which an individual has been defamed wrongly. We should settle issues through the courts like civilized people and not resort to violence like barbarians. As for the gays, I don’t understand why you seem so fixated on the sexual orientation of a small minority, their lifestyle choices we are going to have to tolerate. You should teach your daughter to respect all people while holding firm to her beliefs. I’m sure your daughter has non Muslim classmates that go home afterschool and ask their parents “Why does Halima in my class cover her hair?” “Why does Halima not eat pork” “Why does Halima leave class to pray” etc etc, wouldn’t you expect the parents of those kids to tell them to respect the differences of their classmates? You must realize Emperioir that the world is not just made up of Muslims, indeed many forget that there are 5 billion non Muslims and we will need to get along with them somehow.
