The irony being all three trace their spiritual linage (if not their actual lineage) to Abraham... this 4,000 year old feud is sibling rivalry at its best (or rather, worst)

What is the societal harm in gay sex? Heterosexuals pass plenty of STDs (and do Sodomy, which historically has been considered both oral and anal sex), and with gay sex there's no unwanted babies, crack babies, AIDS babies, food stamps, etc.
STD's mostly come from promiscuity and homosexuals. Things that are too wrong to say in this PC culture.

Not true, the Millenials as large as the Boomers. Until they hit about 40, we won't know for sure - Naturally they'll be delaying births until late because of the crap economy.
In any case, America's population dropped by half with no immigrants would mean a better standard of living for all.
That's not really true. That's like some kind of wild speculation with no basis.

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have three archetypical constituencies imho: wise old men, women, and angry young men.
Judaism is a religion of wise old men with money, kinda cynical and bitter. They've seen it all before and know how the story goes. You can't tell them anything. Numerically the smallest by far, but with influence similar to the other two just by playing the game so well via long experience.
Christianity has a natural constituency of women, specifically mothers. "Love one another" is pretty much the same as "play nice", which kids get told by mothers in the sandbox. It's more naive than Judaism, but more loving and universal. Not inherently hostile or striving.
Islam is the religion of angry young men. It's about two kinds of booty: money, and, well, booty. It decorates the landscape with erect phallic structures. It's about invading and conquering, and its intense hatred of Judaism reflects the eternal division between the striving young and the conservative old.
Hopefully I've now offended everyone equally.
