No doubt they would gladly oppress the minority groups you mentioned given the chance and as you said, return to a theocracy. They did so even in countries such as the U.S. until the last the century, when homosexuality was punishable by prison time.
2. Don't forget about the good moderate Christian churches here:

3. Should we ban dress of "theirs" we don't like? It's hard to see those Duck Dynasty guys' faces with all that facial hair. Could it be a security threat?
I'm aware of uganda's anti-gay law, I never said all Christian churches are moderate, but at least in europe they don't influence political decisions so much.
This depends on the security threats posed and if they are genuine or not. The beard isn't a security threat, a mask that conceals your face is.
The burka and niqab represent and remind europeans of stupidity portrayed by islam, and b sides that there isn't any evidence that it is mandatory for a woman to wear one, there is still no agreement. Christianity may not be moderate everywhere, but in europe it is and it is connected with our culture and influences, it doesn't pose a threat to anyone b sides some political incorrect and stupid comments.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
