That's patriarchy, not Islam. Inform yourself about christianity and you'll find much the same. It's just a different flavour of misogyny. In medieval times, arabic/islamic countries were the educated centers of culture and christian Europe was the barbaric part of the world. Now the scale looks tipped the other way. All the while, evangelical misogynists kill women by denying them life-saving treatments when they are suspected to be pregnant.

All religions are fucked up. If any of them was truly about belief, and not controlling people (and especially women's bodies), there'd be zero need for an institutionalized belief system.

    yeah, right now Christians, especially in the USA, opress women. row v wade was overturned as one of veeeeery many examples, they're hell bend on stripping rights and bodily autonomy from women. for most Christian idioligist in politics women are reduced to breeding machines, totally dehumanizing them. so, what's the track record of Muslims in american politics? or are you just scared?

    And about your message:
    Should the USA trade bad for worse?

    P.S. One of you, poor bastards, went to all my recent comments in other posts and downvoted them.
    One could only aspire to this level of pettiness 😀

    no, wasn't me, I have faaaaar better things to do. also, what would even be worse then a religious extremist group controlling multiple states and influencing the president to opress non believers? Muslims have the potential to do similar things, but Christians are right now doing it. which is worse do you think? maybe you are just scared of things you dont know

    Muslims have the potential to do similar things

    I think they fully revealed their potential in, for example, ISIS and Afghanistan.

    yes. and that is different from Muslim. evangelists are not just Christians, they're extremists. As are islamists. it's an easy concept.

    And root of all that evil is religion.

    Wouldn't that be great to uproot one of the sources of such rot?

    First step is to consider religiousness of a politician a negative factor.
    Especially if said religion is a steady source of extremists.
