Out of the three, Islam is the most prejudice and ruthless one as it has the exact verses referring what is to be done with homosexuals. They have a precise law which forbids any sexuality - its illegal in Islamic countries still.Christians follow not so persise rules - the bible isnt as detailed as Quran on homosexuality and whats to be done with offenders and such - and its not illegal in Christian countries.
Judaism has nothing on the homosexuality in the Torah, but i think for them its cultural and such.

Im talking about the holy books in case you missed the whole point of my post. So do Jews!The point was that they dont have the PERCISE RULES in the Bible the way they do in Quran and Torah doesnt have ANY rules on homosexuality and that its mostly to do with the culture of religion.

I see. But they dont treat gays any more harshly then Muslims or Jews do. In fact, as I mentioned homosexuality is illegal in Islamic countries - as a homosexual you lose human rights.Not sure for Jews however, but I'll deffinitivly research that.
And Christians although being judgemental towards homosexuals as well as discriminative and prejudice particulary in America (although Europe aint that great either), have not passed the laws which take away human rights of homosexuals or made homosexuality illegal.

Uuum, I know the history - much more the Europien and what had happened to people who did practice homosexuality. Homosexuality is not illegal - the marrage is, the act is not punishable by death.But oh, if it is, then please provide me with the link to such constitutions.
Anyway, here are some links for you, please make sure you read them - then and maybe then you can release that my consern does not lie with america only, but in the opression of minorities across the world, as i have mentioned to you before - America doesnt equal the world -

I have few more on Judaism, I'll provide that later.
Maybe you can't see beyond America, but some of us can.
You really don't know what the hell you're talking about, do you?
The Quran has "exact verses" dealing with homosexuality and
what is to be done with it? The Bible isn't as detailed as the Quran
on homosexuality? And how many times have you read the
Quran, I wonder?
Most of the references to homosexuality in the Quran are like
those of the Bible, ones relating to the story of Lot.
http://www.geocities.com/IslamAwareness/Homo/homo.html
And who says the jewish Torah has nothing on homosexuality?
Where the hell do you think the story of Lot came from?
Go and read Genesis Chapter 19, about the story of Sodom and
Gamorrah.
Go read Leviticus Ch.20, V.13: "If a man also lie with mankind, as
he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination:
they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them."
(Sounds pretty "precise" to me).
That's the Hebrew Old Testament, not the Christian New one.
As for Homosexuality outlawed in Muslim lands, and not in
the US and Europe. First of all, it's interesting that in the links
you provided about Egypt, it says that there are no official laws
against homosexuality.
But regardless, the reason why homosexuality isn't outlawed in
the US or Europe has nothing to do with Christianity, but rather
with the fact that these countries are secular. Muslim nations
are not (atleast not to the extent of the West). If the US or
western Europe wasn't secular, if they brought Christianity into
their laws like muslim countries do, then there homosexuality
would've been illegal there too.
That was a stupid comparison you made. It is akin to me comparing
the Pope with porn actor Ron Jeremy, and concluding that while
Christianity is a moral faith (because the christian Pope is a moral
man), Judaism is a completely immoral religion (because Ron
Jeremy,who is jewish, is immoral). That's nonesense.
Finally, it is none of your concern to judge these far older nations
and cultures on their views of morality. If they see homosexuality
as immoral, then that's their business. It's not for anyone to
push their moral (or immoral) views on them. They happen to see
polygamy as perfectly okay, but I'm thinking you wouldn't want
polygamy to be legalized in the West, would you?
