Okay I saw the meme and thought for a second somebody blamed Muslims for LGBT rights, which would be hilarious.

Funny enough, the Muslim world in the 16th-18th centuries was actually very LGBT tolerant compared to Christian Europe. It was the rise of fundamentalist Wahhabism in the mid 18th century (and Salafism in the 19th century) that brought about the current prevailing attitudes on homosexuality in the Muslim world.
