I have read about Muslims in Europe questioning laws in regards to homosexuals -- it's not all that uncommon. In fact, the Dutch have proposed, I think actually adopted, a measure to show prospective immigrants images of things common in The Netherlands -- one showing two men making out -- and the reactions of the prospective newcomer are observed and analyzed.
I know the quote here is from a Chechan leader but his insights may demonstrate the coming clash of cultures quite well --

For the nations of Europe, the "correct" procedure involves consulting the population, holding referendums or parliamentary elections. And Parliament must sit and devise some laws. For us Muslims, that position is totally absurd. We say that human beings are not capable of devising a just law. We believe that the law has been sent down to earth by the Almighty, by God. Nations, politicians and parliaments have no right to devise laws. The law is given by our Creator. For us the position of the democratic European societies is criminal and absurd, because you have falsely claimed for yourselves the prerogative of devising laws for human beings. You are trying to remove this prerogative from the Creator, who gave birth to the nations, settled them on the land, gave them laws and explained those laws to them with the help of the Prophets.
