I'm talking about the issue at hand in this thread. You're talking about yourself indulging in your own self-importance in the process.

I agree that muslims are not as tolerant towards gays as other people. If they want to live in a western country they have to accept them. Otherwise they get punished like everybody else.
But we can't always fight ignorance with ignorance. Otherwise we will never escape this vicious circle.

That would be great, but if after decades of integration tolerance towards gays is still lower among these populations compared to the average what makes you think we'll be able to convince the new ones to adhere to this liberal way of life ? Especially when they're regularly thrown in ghettos living among their own community accentuating their established point of view ?
It's not only about things that can get one punished, but more about a general state of mind which isn't illegal but will lead young gays living there, arab or not, to feel ill at ease and pushing some of them to either leaving or worse suicide.
