Firstly, as much as they hate Muslims, they hate LGBT people too. So that won't rile them up *quite* as much. Second, you already had a bunch of conservatives say this was "God's punishment for being gay". Honestly I'm more worried about Islamophobia from the left, especially seeing we've had too many people on our side imply we shouldn't judge Islamic culture for their negative tendencies and this is bound to spark a backlash.
