I am aware Islam's attitudes towards homosexuality and have condemned it multiple times. People being throw off buildings is not a regular occurrence, it's an extreme one, and that doesn't make it okay but I'm saying that just because someone who follows Islam might condemn homosexuals it doesn't mean they would kill them. The same with any faith, and we shouldn't act like they would until they do. In the same way that some who follow Islam have enacted terror attacks, the vast majority have not and so they shouldn't all be views as potential terrorists.
Not sure what this has to do with me, I've never endorsed that opinion.

Gays being thrown off roofs is not an every day occurrence for gay people in Islam. Usually it's arrests, beatings, imprisonments, hanging, isolation from their families, no constitutional or employment protection... but hey, at least they don't get their benches painted. Go Islam...
