Wow. That's a lot of facts ya got there pardner. Unfortunately they are all off-topic from the question I asked: "Could you perhaps supply me with one or two examples of "Islamofascist"-on-gay violence in this country?", and at least one is completely false:

Now, mind you, I'm not for a minute trying to minimize the evils of fundie Islam, but Brokeback Mountain was not set in Tehran.

2H + H -> 3He + photon
