Regarding Muslims and terrorism, it may be factual to say that "some Muslims engage in or support terrorism", but is that the kind of thing that we want to be said here? To bring up another issue, some folks didn't believe that it was possible to suggest that a several thousand year old caveman was gay based on archeological knowledge and what we know about some of the cultures of that time. The individual was male but buried in a way that was usually reserved for females. Was it necessary for some to express doubt with the findings? Such things are inherently uncertain anyway. Is it hard to predict how the LGBT community will deal with someone emphasizing the uncertainty? How far should we go for Muslims and the LGBT community in the above circumstances? Those are the things I am hoping to get at.
