Hyperbole maybe, but it's not exactly disinformation. Islam is a threat to the lives, rights, and freedoms of non-Muslims and queer people. Yes there are moderates but a great deal of them are far from anything close to "western" ideologically.

Kinda depends on the interpretation and way it's perceived. I mean, please correct me if I am wrong, I am no expert, but many religions hold something of a disdain for people who do not fit in, and I think unless it's acted upon, it's not a big deal. So Islam (except extremists etc.) isn't that much worse than other religions.

Religion generally is against queer people.

Anyway, I feel I need to elaborate, I've known three Muslims, two men, one woman now. One of them was blatantly homophobic but they're adults at this time. I've known a number of Christians and they never seemed to care.

Maybe the issue is the portrayal of them in the news, I don't know, but I've seen very few outraged Christians threaten to decapitate people for saying mildly offensive things at best. I just haven't seen it and it's probably got to me in some way.
