So would you say that someone who holds the opinion that all jews must be killed for the sake of Allah is right, because it's an opinion and cannot be wrong?

If it's truly their opinion, sure, they can knock themselves out. Lucky for the free world not enough people have that opinion for it to come to fruition. I personally don't think it's right, but I don't have the right to say they can't have that opinion. That's all I'm saying.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion however stupid it may be. But an opinion religious or not is not protected from ridicule. Also when someone's opinion on something prevents others from doing it despite it not being harmful to anyone this is not right and should be accepted.
Would you think it was fair if Muslims and Jews wanted to ban bacon because their religion prevents them from eating it?
Also marriage was around way before Christianity and Christianity does not have a monopoly on it.

That's most assuredly not true.

Here's my opinion. I endorse gay marriage, and I am against anyone who thinks gay marriage should remain illegal, because..well I don't like their opinion.
I will forever remain humble because I know I could have less.
I will always be grateful because I remember I've had less.

That video is clearly fabricated for use in the Homosexual Agenda.
