Currently, I don't know of any Muslim country (except Israel) that promotes or tolerates LGBTs. At best, the situation in some Muslim countries would be like the US in the 60's, which isn't particularly good.

My point is that it's not Islam in itself that is the cause for this. I've argued my point elsewhere in this thread, and I'm not going to repeat it.

And I know nothing about Gay rights in the Netherlands - I've been there, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary in that aspect.
