There are two problems I see with what you just posted.

Is Cliff an "anti-Muslim commentator?" Do you think he is just using gays as a prop for an anti-Muslim agenda, or do you think he actually cares about human suffering caused by dogmatists in the Muslim world? Because I asked for examples of the insincerity that you were alleging is becoming more common, and you led with him.
If you think Cliff is some sort of nefarious actor here rather than just someone you don't agree with a lot of the time, it's pretty obvious to me who the problem is.

I've seen it popping up more on Facebook and news comments lately as well, which usually means there's an effort from the places where these folks get their news to use that specific talking point with that specific wording.

So, people you don't know on the Internet then? Again, it doesn't matter who they are if they're right, but I thought you'd have examples of talking heads on CNN or something.
I asked because I have heard this being stressed by commentators for quite some time - Nawaz and Co. often talk about "the minorities within the minority" - but Alex Jones those guys and gals ain't, and casting aspersions on their intentions and motives would be a pretty big fail.
EDIT: I'd also add, even if you're right that this is gaining steam as a conservative talking point.. Why the hell are
conservatives the ones talking about it? Why have they even been allowed to occupy that political ground? Why isn't it liberals crying out for gay rights and women's rights and minorities everywhere? The mere fact that you're complaining about this at all is fairly damning.
