I've been monitoring social media feeds for the past 24 hours. How do Muslims feel about the Orlando gay bar shooting (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Orlando_nightclub_shooting)? A supposedly devout radical lone wolf Muslim of Afghan descent was the perpetrator.
The perpetrator was described as aggressive and slightly crazy by those who knows him.
Religion could be more accommodating towards homosexuals or asexual or folks who are very different from the rest of us. Unfortunately, Islam, just like any other religions, demands a complete conformity from you.
Muslim crowds on the social media were very sympathetic. They condemned the senseless violence. They re-posted and re-tweeted calls for blood donations to help the victims/survivors. The slogans for peace and greater understanding were everywhere. Right at this moment, the Muslim feeling for Gays/Homosexuals seem to be at the top. How long will this love last?
Also, don't forget to read my other post on this topic.

I write about the Islamic faith and its followers, the Muslim. In the past, most of my writing was about the doctrines and the history of various Muslim sects. Since then, I’ve included other topics of interest, such as science, philosophy, psychology, current events, politics, rationality, article reviews, social behaviors, women and the Quran. The journal writing format seen here offers the creativity to fully express my thoughts in the easiest way possible.
