    The religion prescribes death for being too westernized?

    The religion demands all who don't follow the rules be put to death. Especially if you're a woman.

      You are clueless about Islam. Please read the freaking Quran and the Hadiths there you have all the info you need, this religion is extremist by it's own nature. You seem stuck in the something something racism, Islam is not a race by the way, it is another flavor of far right but on steroids, which happened to be enemies of the Christian far right, but the enemy of our enemy is not our friend. How the left is defending this particular religion is crazy.

      1. All the Abrahamic religions have these extremists.

      2. Name any of the other big three that have multiple genocides against their followers happening right now.

      You're punching down by signaling out Islam, that's why you keep getting the feedback you're complaining about

      Has no one tried explaining that to you yet?

      Edit:

      On a completely unrelated note, it's always weird when I stop replying to one account about this, another account with even less activity usually picks up right where the other left off ..

        And of course, there it is.

        Ryan’s murder is horrifying. She deserved safety, freedom, and support—but instead, she was failed by the people closest to her and by institutions meant to protect her. What happened to her wasn’t about Islam—it was about patriarchal control and deadly misogyny cloaked in the language of religion.

        And that’s not unique to Islam. In ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities, women have been attacked for dressing “immodestly” or denied divorces for years. In some conservative Christian circles, honor, shame, and purity culture have been used to justify abuse, disownment, or worse. This kind of violence is rooted in power, not faith.

        It is fundamentalist religion in general that puts women at risk. No single one is devoid of such attacks.

        It’s wrong to exploit Ryan’s death to stoke Islamophobia. Doing so ignores the broader pattern of gender-based violence that exists across cultures and religions. If we really care about preventing tragedies like this, we should be talking about how to hold abusers accountable, how to recognize warning signs, and how to protect women and girls from systems that excuse control as “tradition.”

        Blaming one single faith just distracts from real solutions.

          A Syrian refugee who fled to the Netherlands has reportedly confessed to murdering his 18-year-old daughter and dumping her body in a canal before fleeing the country in an apparent admission note sent to a Dutch newspaper.

          Father-of-nine Khaled al-Najjar, 52, wrote in an email sent to De Telegraaf that he had killed his 18-year-old daughter Ryan al-Najjar, urging the publication to report 'I am the one who killed'.

          The confession did not specify exactly why he had decided to murder his daughter, with al-Najjar writing only that he was 'very angry with her', adding: 'The reason is between me and the judge. I will read that in court'.

          But neighbours and friends suspect Ryan's death came as the result of an honour killing, with one claiming they had previously sheltered her when she had fled the family home in fear of retribution from her father.

          Requesting anonymity to prevent any backlash, they told De Telegraaf that Ryan had a Dutch boyfriend, wanted to stop wearing a headscarf and had been beaten by her father who disagreed with her adoption of a Western lifestyle.

              Yeah, I get it, fundamentalists are terrible.

              But this one was a Muslim and leftists, for some reason, like to platform Islam while this bullshit happens.

              Islam, and pretty much every other religion, is an absolute plague on humanity.

                  The idea of using your religion as an excuse to kill people is not exclusive to Islam. There are actually quite a few instances in the christian bible where people kill due to religion.

                  If you actually want to get away from religious killing, as a society, we must denounce religion as a whole. Blaming one religion is just stirring the pot.

                    First question, why the fuck did they flee or move to the Netherlands? Money and excellent public services. Bosnia-Herzegovina or Turkey would be the more suited choices to maintain the Sharia rules.

                                Yeah exactly. Actually I would even go as far to say we should trial and lock up every religious people ever for this crime.

                                  Only religions give permission for people to kill their children.

                                  Don't think that this is the only religion that does this. They all do. They all do this shit. "My fictional god is more important than my child". "No matter what I do, my fictional god will forgive me!"

                                  It's fucking disgusting, and you are too if you support religions.

                                    The religion demands all who don't follow the rules be put to death. Especially if you're a woman.

                                    That's as true as Catholicism requiring to rape kids. The fact 5 scumbags already upvoted you really tells you the average bigotted mentality of the worldist.

                                      Yeah exactly. Actually I would even go as far to say we should trial and lock up every religious people ever for this crime.

                                      lock up every religious people [sic] for this crime

                                      Religiosity isn’t a crime. There’s a shitload of evil in this world, and almost none of it is (or can ever be) “criminalized.”

                                        The idea of using your religion as an excuse to kill people is not exclusive to Islam. There are actually quite a few instances in the christian bible where people kill due to religion.

                                        If you actually want to get away from religious killing, as a society, we must denounce religion as a whole. Blaming one religion is just stirring the pot.
