This makes me realize that there are more muslims in the world than Jews, which makes for a really funny point about Israel-Palestine.

Are there more gay Muslims than Jews? Because that would be a funny matchup.
I suspect the gay Muslims might do a better job, but then the current set of Muslim countries aren't really trying to do anything other than milk propaganda. Israel has nukes though anyway, they aren't going anywhere no matter how fabulously gay their opponents might be

There are at least 1.8 billion Muslims and less than 16 million Jews. If we figure ~3% of people are gay, regardless of religion, that's 54 million gay Muslims. Even if we drop it to 1%, that's still 18 million.
So yes, there are more gay Muslims in the world than there are Jews of any sexual orientation.

We also have no idea if there are more or less than 3% of Muslims who are gay, because the vast vast majority of them will never come out due to fear for their lives. Meanwhile, most gay Jews aren't nearly as afraid to come out.

That's so funny. I feel there's a solution in there somewhere
Israeli/gay Muslim alliance
Saying that, I bet Israel has more openly gay Muslims than any or even all of the surrounding nations

Jewish pop is 15.7 million. Muslim pop is 1.9 billion, so 120 times larger. I think that even the most conservative estimates would put the gay population at least at 1%, so it's very likely there are more gay Muslims than Jews total.
However, the amount of out gay Muslims in the US is less than 1% so it's also safe to say that the number of out gay Muslims is lower than total Jews.
