I wasn't "rebutting" anything.  I was seeking clarification as to why it mattered that islam shares views on homosexuals with the group Trump is speaking too. And why that would mean "the left" would be okay with it.

Then, again, why bring up Islam at all?

Correct I was trying to make some connection as to why Islam was mentioned in the thread at all since no one else was talking about it and he is not speaking to members of Islam.

I did.  Thanks.

Could be because of their strict stance against fellow citizens that happen to be homosexuals.  Religiously based or not.  I mean they aren't a church, are they?  You can't label the entire Catholic church (for example) as a hate group because they say homosexuality is a sin.  But they can say a single group like this one is.

Even if we want to say the SPLC has no right to label any group their actions make it precarious for the President to go and speak in front of.  I mean unless he plans to go and tell them they are wrong and homosexuals are good, normal people.

I doubt he'll do that.
