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.

    I don’t agree with this view. Islam is not uniquely more homophobic or misogynistic than the other abrahamic religions

    I’m falling asleep as I type this but I feel the need to write a bigger response in the morning

      Huh. Personally, I’ve witnessed Islam really be on a whole other level with the misogyny and homophobia, but maybe that’s just me.
