Homosexuality is criminalized in the majority of Muslim nations. There doesn't seem to be a strong relationship between the prevalence/severity of an Islamic nations' anti-gay laws and its GDP--assuming we can use both as a measure for a nations' socioeconomic/geopolitical standing--because Saudi Arabia, India, and Qatar make the list despite being the Muslim world's economic gems:

Still not a very strong premise, I know. A nation's laws aren't the best indicator for a society's values because laws are controlled by a small elite to a certain degree. I understand any doubts you've had so far; I thought the same thing.
So I looked for any kind of polling data that was done among Muslim populations to see their responses, and the PEW research center did a ton of polling in 2013:

See the Faith and Morality section, specifically the table titled "Wide belief that certain behaviors are morally wrong." If you're reading this before clicking the source, you'll probably know what awaits you on the other side.
What of muslims in the west? CNN Polling indicates they're a religious right in the making:

People need to stop pretending this has nothing to do with Islam. People are literally coddling tomorrow's religious assholes.

A guy named Mike stabbed a bunch of people - I guess all Mike's are stab happy lunatics.
