We all knew that there would be hell to pay for the deeds of that army of gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and lesbian mercenaries who fought in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, helped the Australians liberate East Timor, built a military base in Saudi Arabia, oppressed the Palestinian people, funded the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, etc.

I mean, I'm assuming all of the above to have occurred because that's the only rational explanation for this:

UK Gay Leaders Receive Death Threats From Muslim Fundamentalists Group Says

(London) A British LGBT civil rights group says its leaders have received death threats from Muslim fundamentalists and warns that gay clubs could be targets for terrorist bombers.

"Gay venues could be bombed by Islamic terrorists," OutRage said Monday. "All gay bars and clubs should introduce bag and body searches. Muslim fundamentalists have a violent hatred of lesbians and gay men. They believe we should be killed. Our community could be their next target. This is no time for complacency."

[...]

OutRage said that three of the group's officers have received "repeated death threats from Islamic fundamentalists in recent weeks and months."

Peter Tatchell, the leader of OutRage; Brett Lock its campaign coordinator; and Aaron Saeed, the organization's spokesperson on Muslim affairs, have been warned they will be murdered, Tatchell said Monday.

In a statement Tatchell said that they have been told they are on a "hit list" and are going to be "beheaded" and "chopped up", in accordance with "Islamic law".

The threats apparently began soon after OutRage stepped up its campaign in defense of LGBT Muslims, including gay Muslims fleeing attempted "honor killings" in Algeria, Iran Palestine and in the UK.

Could the root causes argument for this sort of thing be incorrect? It would almost make you think (if you didn't know better).
