Tom's Answer

I think its islamic people. Gay people are more established in american culture. Muslims arnt yet excepted by many in America. I will say though that the people who hate gay people hate gay people a lot more than people who hate muslims hate muslims (get that). Probably a Christian right, cuz we all know how much jesus hated homosexuals (sarcasm). I bet if they mentioned islamic people in the bible thered be lynch mobs on the streets.

i don't think u can rate an amount of discrimination. cuz they're discriminated for different reasons. making the question "which type of hate is more hateful?" invalid question.

theyre both being judged on their moral quality. In america many islamic people are precieved to be terrorist or sleeper cells, ect. while homosexuals are seen as a threat to americas chirstian value system. I guess the real question is what do you think is more important to americans; freedom or religion?

[sammyboy85]

true, but these questions cannot be answered in a fact based way, only an opinionated way. and im not one for questions that i can't answer without the facts. so i have no opinion.
