In the thread I started about the Nice attacks, several posters are calling for the deportation everyone with ancestry from a Muslim country. That's what they think of a group that kills a few thousand people.
Over 34,000 people commit suicide in the USA each year. Due to homophobia, LGBT people in the USA are four times more likely than straight people to commit suicide. Let's pick a low estimate for the prevalence of LGBT people in society: 5%. Doing the math, these 5% account for 18% of the suicides. That's 6,120 LGBT suicides per year. If there was no homophobia, there would only 1520 LGBT suicides per year. Homophobia kills about 4,590 LGBT people in the USA every year. This figure more than doubles if you include other developed countries. In contrast, Al Qaeda has killed about 4,400 since it was started in 1988. Why aren't these same people calling for the deportation of homophobes?
Neoconservatives began an orgy of violence in Iraq that killed more Americans than Al Qaeda, and 150,000 Iraqis. Why aren't there calls for interventionists to be deported?
Muslims are small fry compared to the real mass murderers in our society. You claim you feel strongly about stopping murder. Why don't you care about the big fish?
