I’m aware of how anti-gay Islam is, trust me (and I don’t know where you got the feeling that I wasn’t anywhere in any one of my posts on this thread) but Christian Africa’s no better when it comes to gay tolerance. People in even the Christian parts of Nigeria are subjected to similar treatment for their sexuality and that’s not even the half of it.
Look, I’m no fan of religious laws getting in the way of people’s free choice but at the same time I don’t have any particular axe to grind with Islam so I’m not going to lie and pretend I’m too bothered about the Middle East in this context when the thread’s literally about Uganda. If I’m not personally affected by something I just try and remain neutral and stick to not just what I know/think but what’s relevant. Nothing concerns Uganda with Saudi Arabia so unless there’s a contextual reason for it I just wouldn’t make it a point to compare them and criticise Islam because like I say that’s just not my axe to grind. It’s definitely not something I’d be moved to be rude about.
It’s me. I don’t know why you’ve forgotten that all of a sudden. Or is being very anti-Islam and making it known wherever possible part of the interpersonal deal now?
