I can’t say I blame them for feeling betrayed but Islam like the majority of the Christianity leans to the conservative side socially when it comes to sexuality and gender identity.

  • I would not go that far, but I can never fully understand why people buy into some of this stuff. Keep in mind though there are a huge spectrum of people. We hear more about groups acting badly and often not at all in line with the teachings they claim to follow.

    In a broader context people are part of religious organizations for many reasons, and many of them good. It is just when religious people want “freedom” and then go about that by suppressing the freedom of others. At that point it becomes a problem. In that case it is not about freedom but power.
