Sometimes the build-up of pressure is just too much. You see it in nature - the force of two tectonic plates converging along a fault line. Shuddering out earthquakes, forcing up mountains, causing volcanoes to scream and spew lava down themselves.

Society is just the same. Simmering tensions boiling over into road rage, an angry exchange, knives drawn in the street.

Opposing forces shunting against each other so violently, eventually something gives. Someone gives.

Mass killing: Some 49 people died and 51 were injured in the shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida

And so it has been with Orlando. Islam against homosexuality.

Forty nine dead. Fifty one injured.

And the shock waves of this human earthquake spread fast. The ground whipped out from under the feet of a hundred sleeping mothers, some clutching phones, still listening to their frightened children's last, terrified messages.

How much longer can we continue to deny a fault line has been drawn? On one side Islam and Muslims defined by it. On the other the LGBT community, defined by their right to love as they please.

Over the last two days, the deference of the liberal Left to Muslims over the LGBT community has been excruciating to watch. Unable to reconcile the two causes they champion, they have an awkward inconvenience they dare not face. An ex-wife at a wedding, acknowledged with an invitation, but sat at the back, facing the air-con unit.

Predictably they have chosen Islam.

And don’t tell me the ‘acts of a few extremists do not represent Islam’, because I am sick of hearing it. Every time another Islamist takes down a club, knocks out an airport or wipes out the subway, we are supposed to embrace Muslims and spread the love.

Obama saunters off a golf course and refuses to even acknowledge the role of religion in the debate. Hillary Clinton wants to be clear Islam is not the enemy. But that’s precisely where she is wrong.

As I wrote just after Paris:

And here we are, less than three months later, doing exactly that. A hashtag #lovewins, a logo, vigils in public squares all over the world. Reaction to terror now has a global format to which, in the absence of an actual solution, many of you adhere.

But I am not a sheep in this. We need a solution. And for that we need to be honest enough to face the cause. Because the elephant in the room, the blatant reality in a world turned queer is obvious: Islam is the problem.

A backward religion which does not tolerate the rights of gays is the problem.

Do not allow yourself to be distracted. This is not about guns. If it were, after 9/11 we should have banned aeroplanes.

It is not about the mental health of the gunman, his ex-wife, his apartment or his job, whether he was a loner or a budding footballer or a self-loathing gay himself.

And it is certainly not about terror against the West as a whole.

As much as the UK writer Owen Jones and I are sworn enemies, I can understand why he stormed off an interview on Sky News when no one would acknowledge this was a hate crime against the gay community. A professional self-publicist on the sofa with him said ‘you don’t own this horror because you are gay’. She was certainly trying to own it for her own advancement.

Owen is caught on a human fault line partly of his own making - he writes for the Guardian and is a cheerleader for Labour who prioritise Islam over the LGBT cause far closer to his own hurting heart.

The problem becomes clear when you look at the gunman's pro-Taliban father, an utter b****** of a man - who released a video saying all homosexuals must be punished just hours after his son slaughtered 49 people in the club.

Over time, I’ve watched the pressure plates slowly creeping towards each other. I’ve been no-platformed from every university with a strong Islamic Faith Community. Students staged a walk-out at a talk I gave on campus at Brunel, a London university which cheerfully hosted Islamic extremists and bans Israeli goods on campus.

This is not about the mental health of gunman Omar Mateen, who attacked the club in Orlando on Sunday

And I have watched British state services and broadcasters prioritise Muslim culture over our own, turning a blind eye to the blatant homophobia it embodies, with a Muslim mayor now removing images of bikini-clad women from our own underground. Stand by for adverts for burkinis.

The Left has embraced the Muslim body even though a big part of it is a dark cancerous tumour, homophobic, regressive and contrary to everything we believe in our tolerant society.

I watch Hillary Clinton try to simultaneously embrace the gay community and support Muslims, like two kids, one of whom is adopted and clearly hates the other. She is Obama-lite.

The Left-wing media may well offer up a couple of gay Muslims to try to contradict this obvious truth - that Muslims hate gays. And I accept there are some truly tolerant amongst the Muslim worthy and respect those who are out and proud.

I've seen the supposed condemnation of the attack from the Muslim community.

But where are the leaders of the British Muslim Council condemning homophobia? Where is a Muslim leader prepared to stand up and say our religion has no place in the West if we cannot accept the rights of people to live, love and laugh with whom they choose?

Where is the support for LGBT rights?

A British Imam was hosted by a mosque in Orlando, just days before the attack, saying that death is the answer to the problem of homosexuality, facilitating the spread of hate.

If you want a solution to this killing you have to identify the cause. And for that you have to choose: Islam or the freedom to be gay.

Someone has to call this thing. Until Islam is tolerant of gay rights, we cannot tolerate Islam. In any sense. You have to choose.

LGBT rights or Islam. Black or white. Yes or no. Stop or go. It is a binary thing. You need to decide.

Meanwhile, the Left will continue writing sick-notes for Islam instead of sticking up for the gay community it is supposed to protect.

It is too late for Britain. It has already made its choice. Over 50 per cent of British Muslims believe gay sex should be made illegal. And the Left still puts these people first. The British Left has chosen Islam.

Ninety-six per cent of Palestinians believe homosexuality is unacceptable. Yet our state media would like us to believe Israel is supposed to be the bad guy. It is too late for the UK.

But it is not too late for America.

It is ironic perhaps given the perception of Donald, but under Trump you can choose tolerance. He says ‘this attack is an assault on people’s ability to love who they want’. And he is right.

This was a crime of hate against the LGBT community. Islam is to blame.
