I don't believe that was suggested Chris.  You can look at 57 members of the OIC at the UN and ask out of all those countries, how many protect homosexual rights and gender equality? Islamism (the idea that all levels of society should be governed by Islamic law aka, political Islam) is fundamentally incompatible with advanced progressive societies - the state of individual freedoms in the 57 members reveals as much - in addition to Turkey's regression under an Islamist government after 90 years of secular progress.  It's not a secret that the Globe has wilfully ignored Islamic reformer movements (Tarek Fatah) out of a misguided duty to political correctness.
