It was not because John is homosexual that he was banned, since he had this concert booked and is widely know to be homosexual. But it is because he made this statement about Jesus.

Most Islamic governments are influenced by Islam, but that is for a number of reasons. They really are not democracies. They are theocracies. They are Islamic governments. We do not have a Christian government.
christians Do try to influence the government here, but since this is no longer a Christian society and Christians gave up torture of heretics and terrorist acts centuries ago, we have no ability to force our government to stone gays to death or burn at the state anyone that dares speak against Jesus.
In fact it's partly because of our American freedoms that Christianity has been so strong and Oneness has emerged as a movement.
The comparison is unwarranted
