Almost all religion consider homsexuality an abomination although there are large parts of all those religions that support gay rights too. Seems a bit strange to pick on Islam when all religion is guilty of the same crimes in that regard, it's also flawed reasoning to place the blame squarely at the blame of all of Islam when the issue is more commonly down to those in power enforcing the more backwards elements of the religion is keep hold of power.

Plenty of other countries of other faiths could easily be led down the same path by their own religion, it's better to take issues with those in power than with the religion itself. All religion is vast and full of differing opinions, to paint in broad strokes is to paint an image of half truths.
