Why not?

I was raised Christian. When I realized that Christianity was directly responsible for so much hatred and discrimination against gays, it was obvious to me that I had to leave the church. If I hadn't, I'd have been enabling that evil by praising an all-powerful god who was ok with people discriminating against gays in his name.

Now, if you add killing innocent men, women and children all over the world to discrimination against gays, it seems reasonable that some Muslims would start reaching the same conclusion.
