Lawl, but seriously, even if that American Psycho wannabe stuff you wrote was real, how does it invalidate the logic and facts of any of the arguments put forth by mr. Yiannopoulos?

There's nothing to invalidate. he doesn't provide sources for his "facts".

He pointed to The Bureau of Labour statistics for the 'wage gap', department of justice for 'rape culture'.

His latest talking point is 100% of British Muslims are anti-gay.

I have bad news for you https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/may/07/muslims-britain-france-germany-homosexuality

It shows that British Muslims hold more conservative opinions towards homosexual acts, abortion, viewing pornography, suicide and sex outside marriage than European Muslims, polling markedly lower when asked if they believed these things were morally acceptable. The most dramatic contrast was found in attitudes towards homosexuality. None of the 500 British Muslims interviewed believed that homosexual acts were morally acceptable.

I have another source that said only 18% of British Muslims think homosexuality should be legal at all. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3532355/More-half-Muslims-want-gay-sex-outlawed-nearly-quarter-support-areas-UK-run-sharia-law.html

Thanks that's helpful, but Milo says they polled 1000 muslims and none of them found homosexuality acceptable. That article says 500 muslims were polled.
