It's not as if there are a Uganda has a huge number of homosexuals, so the new law isn't about a homosexual problem in Uganda. I think that this is the key portion in the above commentary

> The European countries that promote homosexuality

Muslims are scared to death that the liberalism that now plagues the west and don't want it to get a foothold where homosexuality and western liberalism is not only tolerated, it is promoted.

For instance, in Ontario, Canada, the following is part of the Teacher's guide on homosexuality (see "Rainbows and Triangles") which actively promotes the gay lifestyle as a healthy option for grade schoolers:

"Students may ask: What if you find out you’re gay and your religion thinks it’s wrong? Doesn’t God punish gays? It’s a sin.

Suggested teacher response: Sometimes even within the same religion people disagree. Some consider homosexuality a sin, others consider it is a personal choice, while others consider it a gift from God. There are gays, lesbians, and bisexuals in every religious group around the globe."

Even if you disregard the homosexuality issue, this is an extremely dangerous response. Replace homosexuality with theft, bestiality, pedophilia, or adultery and the same logic holds. If it is true, then morality is out the window because all religions have people who are immoral.

It's promoted attitudes like these that make Muslims, traditional Hindus, and Sikhes around the world feel threatened and feel like they need to protect themselves before it is too late.
