    Iran doesn’t exactly treat women very well either…and that’s a huge understatement.

      i am very much for a more humane govt there and against medieval islamic culture but iran are saints when compared to israel. israeli snipers have been shooting pregnant women for years and wearing tshirts about it with “one shot two kills”

      israel is full of the most disgusting humans on earth who will murder a kids family infront of him then shoot him in legs two days later. all because they tried to save some olive trees which are their only source of livelihood.

      and israelis do it just because they can and won’t face any consequence for it.

        Ah but you see, that line only works when it’s used by a lib. The same standard does not apply to them!

        There’s absolutely no need to read books like “Do Muslim Women Need Saving?” for a better understanding on why Western media’s portrayal of Muslims is the way that it is, why do so when it’s much easier to regurgitate unfounded, fabricated, downright mythological what-is-practically Western projections on to populations that they deem “uncivilized”, all at the comfort of doing so from your own couch!

        spoiler

        To the lurkers, if this was somehow not obvious, /s.

            you weren’t going to read anything anyway that so much as humanizes the Global South, let alone Muslim women.

          it’s beyond me how people can feel bad for one but not the other. Feeling bad for neither or both, that I can understand.
