There's far more folks who claim to be Jewish going to a foreign country to kill brown people and colonize their land.You must have never seen them.
Oh wait. When it comes to them you suddenly are able to differentiate. For Muslims you can't. Because you're simply a racist brainwashed by American media into believing the people that have been mass murdered for the past 50 years are actually the aggressors.
If you were Chinese you'd be advocating to throw Uyghurs in concentration camps.
I've known Muslims from Iraq, Marocco, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, and a few I don't now which country are from. I can differentiate between them just fine.
I never mentioned anything about them being the aggressors, that doesn't change that muslims discriminate against women more than mostly anybody else.
Also I'm not from USA, so it seems like the one here who is prejudiced without reason is you more than me.
It is amazing you know so many Muslims and still cannot differentiate between a generic American propaganda image and what Islam actually prescribes.
Here's a video of one of those terrifying Muslamic Imams spreading his extremist terror in the UK a few days ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23FuOgGZqkM
I never in any way condoned terrorism against mosques or Muslims, or claimed Muslims can't be good people.
Yes absolutely the Muslims are often the victims as we see in Palestine and UK.
But why do you continue to argue a straw man, that has zero to do with what I claimed?
You haven't even denied that discrimination against women is widespread among Muslims.
And obviously any feminist will have some problems defending an Islamic regime. How is that strange to you?
Telling women to "shut up because the man is speaking" has nothing to do with Islam and is prescribed nowhere. You saw some Muslims acting bad against women. That's bad. It is not relevant to Islam
What you are conflating is tribalism and Islam. The Taliban is a perfect example of this. Islam clearly states women are allowed to go to school. The worlds first university was created by an Islamic woman. Yet the Taliban refuses to let girls to go to school. Why? Because they don't follow the rules of Islam. Yet media paints the Taliban as "implementing the Sharia" while it is clearly not the case.
Currently there is no Islamic regime in the entire world. Islam has a form of governance called Sharia and the only people who claim to implement it are those who pick parts they like and ignore parts they don't like such as the Taliban.
It's hard to generalize but Islam mostly falls under second wave feminism. The third and fourth wave feminism were more about sexuality than female autonomy.
The hijab has intentionally been painted as a symbol of oppression since the American "war on terror" where dehumanization of Muslims was necessary to create an excuse to "free them from oppression". This is extremely similar to 1970 where America needed to "free the oppressed Vietnamese from Communism" by firebombing their villages.
Muslims do not discriminate against women this is a narrative painted by media. There certainly are tribalists, especially in poorer regions of the world. However they discriminate against women despite Islam not because of it. It is very similar to American Christians who abandoned about the "help thy neighbor and feed the poor" part and have transformed into a cult of guns and racism.
No, I didn't see it, they bragged about it, explaining that a woman has no place speaking when the men are talking, unless her man allows it.
Also there are now reports from UN that Afghanistan is the most dangerous country for a woman to live in.
I linked the story earlier about how women were shot for not stopping because they didn't cover their hair properly.
In Saudi Arabia, women were not allowed to drive cars until recently. Like at all!!
The evidence is so overwhelming about discrimination of women in Muslim countries you can't possibly honestly deny it.

Regime is any system of governance, the word is neither positive or negative, every country under Sharia law is an Islamic/Muslim regime.
How can you claim it's not oppression when women are being punished for not wearing it?
I'm sorry, but you make so little sense, and you are so dense to debate, that I'm simply going to have to block you now.
She did not get shot for not wearing a Hijab you clearly did not read what you linked.
When at risk of the propaganda getting debunked you choose to ignore facts, repeat the propagands and run away.
