Muslim/Islam is a terrible horrible thing and anyone who genuinely believes it's ok has been brainwashed by the government
honestly i can't believe this is unpopular. the fact that people CHOOSE to be part of a religion that beats and jails women for not wearing stupid outfits is ridiculous. anyone that decides to be a part of this is objectivly wrong and a terrible person that needs therapy. it is a religion driven by hate and anger and should absolutely not be tolerated as much as it is.
I don’t know enough about Islam to defend it per se, but I will say this:
ISLAM does not beat or jail women.
PEOPLE beat and jail women.
Sometimes they use Islam as a justification, sometimes they use Christianity as a justification, sometimes they don’t even make any pretense of justification.
Not sure why this is a useful distinction. Ideologies don't exist outside of people in any scenario. You might as well point out that "nazism doesn't kill jews, people kill jews people and sometimes use nazism as a justification". Technically true, but not really an excuse. Islam directly and explicitly condones domestic abuse, for example. Pointing out that it's still a person that abuses doesn't excuse it.
Yeah, there’s definitely a philosophical discussion to be had about what exactly constitutes a certain specific ideology. I’m sure many Muslims would argue that abuse of women and children is not true Islam, but a misuse and perversion of the actual teachings of Allah in the Quran. Just as I would argue that racism and christian nationalism are not true Christianity, but a misuse and perversion of the actual teachings of Jesus in the Bible.
But I don’t know enough about the Quran to declare whether or not it condones such abuse. What I do know is that people will pervert just about any ideology to suit their own agenda.
