I never said they deserved death. I said it doesn't make sense to push a minority into it like that.

I also said later on that this would've ended very differently if this same live performance happened in an Islamic country. I said that to point out that in organizations like IOC act like they can do whatever they want push whatever narrative they like more in Europe, US and other places but then when they do stuff in Islamic suddenly they change their tone. Why the double standards? Why do they believe they can obliterate all religious symbols and push for minorities in the western world but they don't do the same elsewhere?

Even worse, why would we allow that in the western world? Note that I'm not saying Islamist are right when killing those people because of their ideologies is correct, I'm just saying the IOC and other organizations should respect the majority of people, religions and culture in the western world and act accordingly. I find it really hard to believe that there isn't a single sane person in the IOC that could've just said "no you aren't going to recreate the The Last Supper with drag queens, that makes no sense in a place where Christians are the majority and drag queens are a minority.
