I think that the thread  
\*\*Does Islam drive homophobic violence? \*\*  
should be reopened  
I think that the news coming out of Orlando and the suspected planned attack on a Gay Pride event makes the thread very much alive, by closing the thread we deny giving moderate Muslims a voice.

There’s already a thread about this in ATMB, which is the proper forum for this type of request.
