Besides Thailand and Nepal due to the material online I would add: Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Quatar, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United, Arab Emirates and also Pakistan, Afghanistan and other muslim countries maybe those with +50% muslim population: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Muslim_world_map.png
If we're looking at a cultural problem in Islamic countries, there is some precedent there for having separate logos: Red Cross / Red Crescent have different symbols because the cross is offensive in those areas too (even through unrelated descent). I believe they're different organisations, and they also have a third symbol - a diamond - as a reserve. GNOME could apply the same thinking, though.
Would there be a problem using something like a stylised hand-print? It could be made to look recognisably "GNOME" with a G palm, yet still obviously a hand.
