And that is precisely the problem. Mr. Cathy simply expressed his personal view — as a devout Christian — on marriage. For this, progressives want to boycott and if possible economically cripple the company. In other words, Mr. Cathy’s sin — Chick-fil-A’s sin — is that he is a Christian traditionalist in an increasingly pagan country.
Yet, liberal multiculturalists are hypocrites — and cowards. Take Mr. Menino, for example. As columnist Michael Graham points out in the Boston Herald, the mayor may dislike Christian critics of gay marriage but he has no problem with homophobic Islamists. Mr. Menino approved a permit that essentially allowed the city to sell land — at below market value — for the construction of a mosque. The Islamic Society of Boston (ISB) has deep ties with a radical imam, Yusef al-Qaradawi. He has been a frequent speaker at the ISB’s Boston mosque. Al-Qaradawi even helped raise funds for its construction. He is an Islamist, who defends suicide bombing and jihad. He also believes homosexuals should be burned or stoned to death. For the likes of Mr. Menino, al-Qaradawi is acceptable to the people of Boston; yet, Mr. Cathy isn’t. Why? Because everyone knows standing up to Muslim militants risks a fatwa — a death sentence. Picking on Christians, however, is easy. They are the true followers of the religion of peace.
And it explains the growing persecution of American Christians. Liberals know that Chick-fil-As will not fight back — the Dan Cathys will not strap suicide bombs and blow themselves up in a crowded place. Hence, for decades our secular elites have been slowly purging Christianity from the public square. Prayer in school is banned. The Ten Commandments are taken down from courtrooms. Abortion is rampant. Movies and popular culture routinely mock Christians. Religious conscience rights — as seen through the Obama administration’s contraceptive mandate — are regularly violated. The left’s goal is to reduce Christians to permanent second-class citizens. Now, they are coming for our freedom of speech. This is Christophobia — the dominant bigotry of our time. Christians unite, before it’s too late.

Re: Gay agenda for Christians vs the gay agenda for Islamist
On a day where 7 Sikhs have been killed , it's time to paint Christians as the victims of homosexuality.
No one is saying if your church does not allow homosexuals to marry it will be outlawed. But some Christians want to prohibit the gay marriages performed by OTHER churches from being acknowledged legally by the government. Yet when some criticize them for denying the rights to others that are freely given to them, they cry 'persecution'.
Agnostics can marry. Atheists can marry. 2 blood-splashed Satan Worshipers can marry, but if 2 Unitarians of the same sex want to tie the knot, THAT is an assault on Christianity?
When people want to boycott Chick-Fil-A, Christians cry persecution. But when Christians organize a boycott of Disney's 'gay agenda' for 8 years, that's just expressing moral outrage.
THAT is the height of hypocracy: for the persecutor to claim persecution.
Please name me a cause in history that you admire where the rights of one group are predicated on the denial of those same rights to another group.
“Why have Christians been distinguished above all people who have ever lived, for persecutions? Is it because it is the genius of their religion? No, its genius is the reverse. It is the refusing toleration to those of a different opinion which has produced all the bustles and wars on account of religion."

Re: Gay agenda for Christians vs the gay agenda for Islamist
yeah, it's really hypocritical of liberals to keep attending and giving money to mosques with "deep ties" to fundamentalist clerics. or rather, it would be, if they had ever done that, anywhere in the world, even a single time.
and adding to the stupidity of the OP, Yusuf al-Qaradawi is so coddled by the Christian-hating liberal-multiculturalists that he was banned from the US by President Bill Clinton in 1999.

Re: Gay agenda for Christians vs the gay agenda for Islamist
by the way, bcspace, did this mosque also have "deep ties" to a rightwing muslim cleric? i guess at least one of your fellow "Christian" soldiers thought so, the poor oppressed fellow.
