But there are muslims who don't hate gay people or who find their relationship to islam to have nothing to do with gay rights. I'm not sure you will find many liberals who are hunky dory with muslims who hate gay people, but instead they will say that it is not okay to hate a muslim person when you don't know their personal stance on things like gay marriage.

There are plenty of moderate conservatives and christians that don't hate gay people either. I'm not sure what your point is. My point is that, statistically, a Muslim is much more likely to have extreme beliefs on social issues.
Why would you judge someone by the beliefs they're "statistically likely" to have?

There are conservatives, Republicans, Christians, and similar people that don't hate gay people and a good number of them even support gay marriage; see:
