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.

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.
