People make the voluntary choice to adopt ideologies that promote racism, sexism, etc.
If they don’t agree with the ideology’s hateful and violent tenets, they don’t have to adopt the ideology, but it’s disingenuous to suggest that people who do voluntarily choose adopt those ideologies don’t actually believe in them. Nobody chooses an ideology they disagree with.

You haven’t met a lot of Muslims, have you?

Why would you say that?

Because if you did, you’d learn that Muslims are normal people. Some are assholes, some are not. Some are straight and homophobic, other are proudly queer. You could argue that Islam is bad because it encourages homophobia, that’s an acceptable opinion. But saying that all Muslims are homophobic is bigoted and just plain wrong. The difference between legitimate criticism and hate is not hard to understand…
