That's the whole point. It's raised in the ME but not very often in the west. Russias treatment of gays, for example, is brought up quite often in American media yet what happens to gays in the Muslim world is rarely if ever brought up. The issue is it's not proportional considering to severity of injustice. Gays in Russia might get beat up, intimidated sure, but they aren't being tossed off roofs. There isn't a government or a jurisprudence system in place that actually encourages violence against them like in most of the Muslim world.
