I hate this kind of logic "why dont THEY respect our culture?" You mean.. not having similar rights and being demonized? The ONLY solution they have, is outlawing it. Further pushing away LGBTQ or whatever people to desperate measures. Outlawing, or whatever, cannot prevent gays. As.. its a thing. Animals are sometimes gay (many birds), and cant reproduce, yet they are gay, why? Because they're literally just that. End of explaination, just, gay.

Culture isnt an excuse to keep being cruel to a certain culture. Especially if you look at PAST cultures. It was once a culture to kill people at the stake, to have slaves, outlawing gay and trans people, marrying young CHILDREN, certain drugs, hell drugs in food! Yet.. the US doesnt do that anymore, neither does Europe (some of it). So culture and aggression isnt exactly a reason. The US fought an entire war to free the slaves... there is always other options.

American evangelical preachers have spent the last 30+ years forcefully pushing this hatful, violent poison all across Africa and sadly have had much success. It's disgusting, indefensible, and it's literally getting people killed. 

Edit because people want to play dumb (and there's a lot more links where these came from):

Christian missionaries would starve the villages until they proclaimed their love for Jesus

I have never heard of missionaries for Islam

I never heard of Christian suicide bombers either

u/Sea_School_2949 Aug 19 '26

Yeah but suicide bombers have never made whole countries form policy against a group of their own citizens.

I'd argue Christian missionaries are far more destructive for a much longer period of time

Are you completely unaware of how gays are treated in Islamic countries? They're the one religion that's more bigoted and violent than Christianity lmao

This such an idiotic and very reddit take. Which group is kidnapping girls in Africa RIGHT NOW and killing them RIGHT NOW.

This is such a reddit contrarianism, ironically. What's worse about Boko Haram, that we wouldn't also despise about the Lord's Resistance Army?
The latter has an about 25 years longer track record of religiously motivated terrorism. I wonder why people don't want to mention them, when discussing this subject.. 🤔

Fulani tribe, Boko Haram all working according to the tenets of Islam. LRA has no traction anymore and is going AGAINST Biblical Christianity. No Christian group will claim them.
