And once again you completely miss the point. There is no value in me defining freedom in the general sense as everyone has a different definition. It is certainly not acceptable for me to define freedom for another country through the means that the coalition have been currently taking. Their concept of freedom is from their interpretation of the Koran. That is no different from you using the Christian bible as a guideline for how you live your life. I can`t comment on your personal views on this issue as I obviously don`t know them, but the recent news coverage has highlighted clearly the fact that by your definition the Christian church is unwilling to give "freedom" to homosexuals, treating them as second class citizens. I don`t see any difference in this case.
