We are under attack

Ýes, and anybody who says otherwise is wrong.

The secularists want to rewrite history to make us (the West) into something that we are not. The Islamists don't feel that way - they see us as we've always been. They don't hate us because we're free, they hate us because they see us as decadent Christians. We are in a religious war, not against all Muslims, but against a faction of them who will not rest until they avenge their loss at the Battle of Tours, and perhaps not even then.

They hate us because we're gay. We're in a war against people with positive social scores on the PM, no matter what religion they follow.

No. They hate us because we tolerate homosexuality, despite our positive social PM scores.

Tolerate?

A fascinating choice of word, given that, as we all know, the point about toleration is that it is conditional and can be withdrawn.

And a careful choice of word. I'm not comfortable with homosexuality, but I accept that some people are gay and they deserve to live with dignity like the rest of us. I have gay friends and I don't see them as gay, I see them as my friends. I don't think my position is at all abnormal.
