And then we will have to be Muslims and "our women" will be forced into burkas and there will be no more music or gay bars or churches or blogs. This is an acutal fear that they have -- not a theoretical fear but one that is pressing, urgent, at the forefront of their worldview.
Perhaps you should consider the prospect that Swedish politicians are estimating that country to be majority Muslim in their lifetime.

Why are you supporting people that would kill you for being gay? Why remain silent? Do gays have no sense of self-preservation, or is BDS syndrome so overpowering as to make gays, feminists, and secularists, insensate. It is way past time for the left to stand up to the ultimate bigots of the world.
