What troubles me even more is that it is mainly targeted against those who are not white, heterosexual Christians.

I think since we are all related coming from Adam and Eve. we need to stop this family bickering and just get along.
We need to take out those black sheep that harm our families. Islamic extremist, racist, those burning religious buildings or blowing up federal buildings. God, Buddah or Allah if you like, gave us a brain to use for doing what is right.
