I think that the main thing that is being overlooked is that the warning is directed towards those who will be frequenting LBGTQ functions and attractions during Pride month. It's not a dig on the Phils in general. It's a warning to be aware of Islamic extremism terrorism worldwide during Pride month.

Since the 7 Oct attack on Israel, and the subsequent Israeli counterattack against Hamas in Gaza, the terrorist tensions have been racheted way up. Islam looks down on homosexuality with extreme violence. A Pride event, or gay venue would be a prime target for Muslim terrorism to bring warped attention to their cause.

Just a few weeks ago one morning in London, an Islamic male attacked his roommate who converted from Islam to Christianity, stabbing him. When he escaped, and locked himself in a room with another roommate, the first male left the residence, and went out onto the street. He came across a 70 y/o male who was walking alone, and he proceeded to stab him multiple times until he was dead. His reasons being the Israeli attacks against Gaza.

The male was not from Gaza. He had no family or relatives there. He was just a Muslim male who was angry. It makes no sense to us, but it's clear as glass for him.
 
You sound like someone who is clueless, having never spent time in the US. Merely going off of what you hear in media, and being angered by someone who has no physical effect on you. Why?

It's the same thing that I experienced with Saudis when I worked there. Asking me all kinds of questions about things in the US that did not affect at all, but they felt that they should be emotional about them and react.
 
Why should it? It's a person who determines their destiny.

Why is person B responsible for how person A feels because of what they did or said? Person A is the one in control of their own emotions. It is they who choose to be angry or sad or happy over what person B said/did.

Why just the US? Why not Australia, England, China, , Russia? No one person or place should be felt to be in control of others. :)
 
So, since you haven't answered my question, I'm guessing that you never lived, or even visited the US.

That's all I was asking. You are entitled to say whatever you want. It just gives me a basis to go off of. 🤷‍♂️

Carry on.
