would further argue that more murders take place against people of faith solely because
they profess that faith around the world, then takes place against homosexuals.


As to around the world, I won't comment. There is a lot of religious hate around the world. After all, one could interpret the Tutsi-Hutu conflict as a religious conflict. Then there is Kashmir, Tibet, Israel, and on and on. It's very tragic that religious intolerance is so often so extreme.

But as to the US, I think you are dead wrong. I have enough homosexual friends to know the very realistic fear many of them live under. I don't know of any organized groups in this country which are actively targeting people of faith. There are many targeting homoexuals.

Then there are people like Hitler, who went after both homosexuals and jews. Both sexual orientation and religious hatred there.
