    I think I addressed that pretty well in my comment. But you can remove literally any and all of the additional qualifiers and the point is still valid. A majority of Republicans are openly homophobic. Everything else is just extra.

    But also, people do use Islam as a justification to hate people. It’s not like being Muslim necessarily means you reinforce terrorism any more than being Christian necessarily reinforces terrorism. But being a Trump support DOES mean that you reinforce his actions.

        I was speaking more about the selective outrage in general, like in my original comment, not specifically you. I’d be willing to bet that the vast majority of Republican Islamophobes aren’t anti-religion.
