Honor killings are a one way street.
Man kills wife for advocating for women's rights? Halal. Allah approved.
Two girls enact revenge on their rapist? Absolutely Haram!
Just saying that it's not apparent if you're speaking ironically or actually believe that. If it's the latter then that's straight up Islamophobia.
Uh no its not Islamophobia, its just the truth. It doesnt have to be this way but it is. Claiming anything else is just denying the fact that women in these cultures are systematically oppressed and enslaved.
To be fair, it's not like the bible is any better on women's rights. It's just that most modern Christians (thankfully) ignore large parts of their book. There are plenty of fundamentalist Christian groups that have just as bad, or in some cases a worse, culture of misogyny.
Yeah a large part of how to solve this, is really just slowly getting rid of religion as much as possible.
