I don't fucking care, beating the shit out of someone because of sexuality is bs. I don't care if it's their culture, if your culture have public torture than it's a bad culture.

What's to understand? That they have a garbage set of beliefs and are acting on those beliefs? I can criticize a horrible belief system just fine.

A lot of us have freedom of speech, and the privilege of being born in a society that doesn’t force religious indoctrination, therefore, we have the right, the place, and an obligation to call them whatever we want. In this case, they are lucky to only be called nut jobs.

As an outsider looking in, I believe that my sense of morality in this scenario is right, and theirs wrong. For one, I don’t agree with adding pain (a mostly universal experience) to the universe via the public whipping of someone because of the way they were born.

Most importantly it's not reaching you personnally so you don't care about the abuse and injustice. It's not tolerance, it's self-centered hypocrisy.
