USA and Europe are based on freedom. As a result, lesbians and gays are free to do what they want as long as they are not hurting anyone else. In most Muslim countries, persecution and judgement are the norm rather than tolerance. It's kinda *** backwards but I'm sure as they become more educated over time this will change.
btw...there are gays and lesbians in Muslim countries, plenty of them, they just won't admit it for obvious reasons!

For the same reason you won't find many people in Arab Muslim countries admitting to anything that will get them into deep trouble. They'd have to be suicidal or crazy to admit it.
The short answer: Those countries, and their cultures, are extremely intolerant when it comes to certain behaviors. And, to top it off, there are effectively no civil rights in those countries. In some it's even against the law to convert to Christianity.
But take my word for it. There gays are there, and probably in the same proportion as anywhere else.

Now that's where you are wrong. You will find gays and lesbians in Arab Muslim countries. 'Friendship'
between males is a very old tradition, and women, confined to female society, also exhibit homosexual proclivities. In fact, in any country in the world where men and women are rigorously segregated, you will find homosexuality flourishes.

There are some but their number is insignificant. And because
being homosexual is not encouraged and infact is a crime in most cases--you won't know these small number of individuals. Why there are so many sex perverts and promiscuos people in the West. It's because the Western society is a sick society and this sickness will grow in time. It's not that there aren't sex perverts and unchaste people in other societies and cultures, but they are not made fashion
and legalized and promoted as some kind of virtue as it is the trend of the present phase of Western culture.

In Free Countries everyone is allowed to think and act as long as they don't hurt others.
In Arab Muslim Countries the mullahs do the thinking with the aid of the Q. ANYONE who does what they think is wrong SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES

There are gay and lesbian people in arab countries what planet are you from?
In america people have a thing called freedom and arab countries don't. I don't blame them for hiding that they are gay they will get their asses killed if they try to think for themselves.

Not true. There are just as many gay and lesbians in Muslim countries, than there are anywhere else.

because not only would they be killed for being this way. arab and muslim countries do not announce their problems within their own countries as a sign of weakness. You do not find them because they keep them hidden.
