I’m guessing it’s like Christianity where there are leftist Christians who follow Jesus’ more progressive messages such as giving to the less fortunate and healing the sick, and then there are the scary Christian evangelicals that want A Handmaids Tale and conversion therapy. Logically, Islam probably isn’t a monolith in a similar way other religions aren’t.
However, I have never heard about what those of the Islamic faith actually believe outside of the hysterical post 9/11 Islamophobia I’ve been indoctrinated with as a child.
I want to know what the truth is and hear the other sides story. To me it’s obvious that Islamophobia is wrong, however when Islamophobes make wild claims about it, I can’t really refute them confidently because I’m simply ignorant of the facts. Please educate my dumb, white ass.
Yes I’m critiquing the whole sentence. Your argument implies that anywhere where women exist cannot be misogynistic. Eradicating women isnt a goal of misogyny nor is it the end result.
There is no “argument”. I wasn’t initiating a theoretical debate about misogyny. I was suggesting that the islamophobes are so racist they think every person in the Muslim world has a natural born desire to murder women on sight. Not every throw away comment needs to become a nit picking debate on whatever issue is at hand.
Calling out misogyny isn’t nitpicking debate. Your comment is misogynistic. I was assuming it wasn’t intentional. You can act all scratched about it or you can self-examine and self-crit.
