Such as? And if you're willing to equate protesting for human rights as "violence" then be my guest. It's really not helping your argument because right now you're reaching for straws.
The Copts in Egypt aren't denying religious freedom or trying to establish a Coptic Egyptian State. The Islamists are, however (with an Islamist Egypt of course). They even succeeded with the MB.
Understand that even the Stonewall riots containted a lot of violence at the hands of gays, lesbians and drag queens.
The rioting was triggered by constant police harassment and discrimination, among other things. I guess you will also condemn this landmark event in LGBT history.
If not, you're not consistent with your views and quite frankly a hypocrite.
Quote:Does that excuse their own violence?Again, what do you mean by their own violence? Show some examples. You keep throwing around the word "violence" without specifying.
Quote:So Christian violence only counts in the middle-east? Well, since she specifically said the ME, I suppose that is a fair point.You just answered your own question.

Also, by comparing the Coptic Egyptian strive for equal human rights to Uganda's treatment of the LGBT community you're doing yourself a huge intellectual disfavor.
