That’s an interesting point Jenny, however I don’t tend to see these campaigners making a distinction between ignorant abuse from emotional Muslims on the one hand, and proper critique (or even condemnation) that comes from a faithful understanding of revealed scripture, on the other.

I think she may have been highlighting a similar issue that exists throughout Christian Churches. It’s not so much that traditionalist or fundamentalists teachings state that “being homosexual” as opposed to “acting homosexually” is intrinsically wrong, it’s that many people who identify as fundamentalist or traditionalist BELIEVE things oversimplified from the actual religious teachings because they don’t devote enough time to learning before beginning to preach.

And yet again, the article, like the one also about Salaam Canada (earlier talked about on this blog), is as chaotic as ever. There is no point to the article. It seems as though the people writing the article have some friendship going with the folks at Salaam and are simply trying to give them visibility in any way possible.

It’s always useful for fringe and outlaw groups to try and play the victim.
