Also ironic is that the CEO of Intel is Catholic and his brother is a monsignor in the Diocese of San Francisco, and that the Catholic Church does, as we know, state that homosexual behavior is a sin.
I also note that the Intel Corporation actively supports the Islamic University of Gaza, even as they cut off grant funding to the BSA:

The last I heard, homosexuality was condemned by Islam (and the Islamic University of Gaza is an expressly religious organization), and some Islamic nations (including Iran, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, North Sudan and Yemen) punish it with the death penalty, the more “moderate” states may just flog gays, yet here the Intel corporation is donating to an Islamic religious university. Gay “marriage” or civil unions are not recognized in the Palestinian territories, and same-sex acts between men are punishable by imprisonment.
Intel’s website states that they will not provide grants to:
Unfortunately, the Intel Foundation’s contributions funnel money (via ANERA) towards an “educational program in Palestine” that is not exactly a community college, but which is a religious institution that is closely tied to HAMAS, a Palestinian terrorist group that seeks to impose sharia law on the world, as well as conquering the Vatican for Islam. The Dean of Quranic Studies at Islamic University of Gaza said,
(You can watch the clip here:
memritv.org/clip/en/3450.htm).
16 of their professors are HAMAS representatives in the Palestinian Assembly, and the University has been used to store weapons directed against Israel. The university has called for the destruction of the state of Israel, and also doesn’t like homosexuals too much, either. Mahmoud al-Zahar, a HAMAS terrorist who helped found the University in 1978 and is still on board of directors, has called for the execution of homosexuals in the Gaza Strip (many of whom have fled to Israel, where they are safer.) al-Zahar declared same-sex marriage in the Palestinian strip to be anathema, stating, “Are these [allowing for same-sex marriage] the laws for which the Palestinian street is waiting? For us to give rights to homosexuals and to lesbians, a minority of perverts and the mentally and morally sick?” al-Zahara also said, “You in the West do not live like human beings. You do not even live like animals. You accept homosexuality. And now you criticize us?" It is the stated goal of the staff of the Islamic University of Gaza to extend Sharia Law over the middle east and the world, which calls for the execution of homosexuals.
Christians (and most Boys Scouts and Scouters) may believe that homosexual behavior is a sin and should be condemned, but they teach that we should love the individual and treat him or her with compassion. The staff of the Islamic University of Gaza, to whom Intel funnels funds through ANERA, makes the BSA look like the ACLU in its treatment of homosexuals.
Any bets that Intel won’t stand up to the Islamic faith and demand they change their doctrine to accommodate the sensibilities of the editors of The Advocate?
