It's not unreasonable to think that the people who order this sort of thing...

I would suggest that the reason they murder gays is not because allah wills it, but because accepting gays threatens their power. Domestic politics in these nations is always a balancing act between not offending the IC and not offending the 'people'. This is a widespread problem in the east - they are not comfortable with gays as most of us are. It is rational, albeit fucked up....
Certainly their treatment of gays does not lead me to believe they want to unleash WMD on their adversaries.... that is entirely irrational..... and they have not done so. They have not even offered their proxies the full sophistication of their conventional supplies..
