    Islam is the worst religion in the world. To steal a quote from sam harris...in no other religion are mothers happy and throw parties when their sons kill themselves and murder several innocent people at the same time. Fuck islam. Plenty of muslims are good people but their religion is shit.

    See, I would make a point of not stealing a quote from Sam Harris on anything having to do with women.

    It’s fine to argue against Islam if you want as some monolith of oppression (although Christianity and secular liberalism haven’t exactly been great for women either) but too often it turns into bashing Muslims, meaning people who were born under Islam and follow that religion as a default, who have been killed in massive numbers by Western powers over the past twenty years. There is a strain of feminism among Muslim women that focuses on the veil as resistance against liberal porn culture. I’m not going to spend energy bashing that.
