Russia was also sexually puritanical under the Soviet regime, and now that the Orthodox Church is re-ascendant under Putin, they have perpetuated a very homophobic and patriarchal view of society and sexuality.

And then there is the example of fundamentalist Hindu India, which is notorious for its disregard of women and gays.

In the end, it has little to do with the religion itself, it has a lot more to do with the degree of social backwardness.
