There are governments in Muslim countries that are different than the one in Gaza, and there are historical examples of oppressive religious governments that were not Muslim. Hence, the linkage in the OP is false.

And I'll ask again , which Muslim countries are you referring to that are safe for Gays?

Turkey used to be but no longer and even Amsterdam now , a leader in Gay rights in the past , is no longer safe for Gays.
