Then the quote:
Gay Palestinians say they are mainly persecuted at home because of religious attitudes. Many Muslims claim that homosexuality is strictly against the Koran.

Islam persecutes gay men and lesbians. Jews do not. In Israel, it is OK for gay men to serve openly in the forces, and they are considering a national domestic partnership/marriage law for gay couples.
If a gay Muslim is living in an Islamic country, he is likely to be executed.

Most of the Muslim countries have strict penalties for those found guilty of committing homosexual acts...several countries have and enforce the death penalty. If I were a homosexual Muslim living in the Middle East, I don't think I would venture out of the closet.

It is muslim tradition that a homosexual be either a) stoned b) have a wall pushed over on them c) thrown off a cliff. Them muslims know how to deal with their gay problems.

You are talking about several different cultures who are muslim by religion, who don't have a problem kidding their female relatives if they decide they are stepping out of line. What exactly do you expect to have happen with GLBT?

Just look at some of these answers from Muslims. They act like it's like they are putting a dog to sleep.
