Which cultures? Which subset of the nearly 2 billion Muslims in the world are you talking about? Because I sure as hell don't know any of those slaves you're talking about.

Seriously my Muslim buddies are not oppressing their daughters and I would be floored if they harmed them.

When talking about 1/4 of Earth’s population it becomes real hard to generalize without being racist and factually incorrect.

Holy fuck this place is almost as Islamophobic as r/worldnews. Seriously what the fuck? Does it feel that bad for your views to be challenged?

I just know too many ex islam refugee women for me not to be aware of what strong religious beliefs do to a society. Religious fundamentalism always turns violent, no matter the religion. The existence of more peaceful islamic cultures doesnt change the fact that there are so many horrible ones. Israel is also a great example of how religion makes it easy to manipulate people into giving up their humanity.
