bubblyrat, minority groups fighting for equality and parity often do become strident and, understandably form a Crusade. It happened with women's struggle for Suffrage, black people's plea to end racism in USA, the fight against apartheid in S Africa and Women's Liberation. Without putting themselves in front of the media their causes wouldn't be heard. I have a struggle in my house with my Muslim husband's attitude to gay people. He cannot accept their rights to live their lives as they wish. He's basically homophobic and very condemnatory. I'm very glad to hear that some Imams are becoming more enlightened. It will all take time, but I hope attitudes will eventually turn around and tolerance and acceptance win in the end.
