See, I have the exact opposite opinion on this. This situation has so many variables that we know lead to trouble: religious fundamentalism, self hatred, bigotry, mixed messaging, and access to guns.
Does anyone not know that the suicide rate among gay teenagers in devout families (both Muslim and Christian) is crazy high? Add in some cultural anger and some narcissistic rage, and I think those factors become very dangerous in the right person. It's almost too predictable, sadly.
