    FWIW, you can block/mute users now.

    I think GC feminism, from what I read up till now, is very suitable to deconstruct the sexist and misogynist structures build into muslim communities.

    How? A lot of the misogynistic stuff is in the Koran itself and the Koran is the word of Allah. How do you want GC-feminism to deconstruct the word of Allah? And then you have the problem of bidah.

    Christians and Jews have a better ground for that in the regard that they can claim the misogynistic stuff was written by misogynistic men. The only word of god in the bible are the 10 commandments.

    Many Christians believe that the Bible overall is the Word of God, as written down by men and passed along in oral traditions before that. Challenging those people with the idea that the Bible is in any way not literally God's rules and history of the world is something that often doesn't go well.

    Fundies having certain beliefs and something being a tenent of a faith are two different things. Fundies are averse to reform, but reformers will have an easier way to convince the normal people of their ideas if they can argue that this was just an interpretation of the writers instead of arguing against the word of god.
