Stop bombing ISIS and they will love us...

I actually read something to that effect on Facebook.

For God's sake, stop bombing and shooting up Islamic nations and you'll end any Islamic threat in less than a generation, instead of escalating it as we've done in the last 20 years. (no source to protect the recipient of this missive)

There you have it, everyone.  It's our fault that a crazy homosexual Muslim killed a bunch of people.

From Cliff Kincaid:

Admitting that “the full facts” were still unknown, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) nevertheless issued a statement on Sunday afternoon on “the senseless act of domestic terrorism in Orlando,” saying that “it is not surprising that the LGBT community was targeted” because “This community has long been vilified by those opposed to LGBT rights and is too often the target of violent hate crimes.” This was a clever but dishonest way of trying to shift the blame to conservatives for terrorism committed by a devoted follower of Islam.

Notice how the SPLC made no mention of the killer’s religious affiliation or motivation, or his acknowledgement of inspiration from ISIS. read the rest

Not to be outdone, we have a crazy Catholic bishop who blames, wait for it, Catholics.  Yep, we're so hate filled against homosexuals, et al, that we created a monster.   Bishop Robert Lynch of St. Petersburg, FL, penned this disgraceful piece of literary trash: (emphasis mine)

Second, sadly it is religion, including our own, which targets, mostly verbally, and also often breeds contempt for gays, lesbians and transgender people. Attacks today on LGBT men and women often plant the seed of contempt, then hatred, which can ultimately lead to violence. Those women and men who were mowed down early yesterday morning were all made in the image and likeness of God. We teach that. We should believe that. We must stand for that. Without yet knowing who perpetrated the PULSE mass murders, when I saw the Imam come forward at a press conference yesterday morning, I knew that somewhere in the story there would be a search to find religious roots. While deranged people do senseless things, all of us observe, judge and act from some kind of religious background. Singling out people for victimization because of their religion, their sexual orientation, their nationality must be offensive to God’s ears. It has to stop also. read the rest

From the Catholic Catechism:

2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. They do not choose their homosexual condition; for most of them it is a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.

Perhaps Bishop Lynch should read the catechism.  He also calls for more immigration and a ban on "assault" weapons.  He is disgrace to the Church.  In my 70 years of being Catholic, I have never, ever witnessed a Catholic priest "breeding contempt" for gays, et al.  It's quite the opposite.  All sinners need to be called to repentance, and that includes homosexuals.  There's a certain lack of honesty when dealing with homosexuals.
