A 29-year-old passenger was arrested after allegedly refusing to sit beside a woman, citing Sharia law, before assaulting a flight attendant on a flight to Düsseldorf.
Where do you live that the legal process isn’t corrupt and biased?
It’s not black and white. It’s a gradient.
You seem to be arguing that the Muslim-controlled countries are somehow the same as the western world, because where Muslim countries would fallback to religious dictatorships and Sharia law enforcement, the western world replaces that with “regular laws and systemic oppression”.
I’m arguing that the sort of worldview lacks a metric fuckton of nuance. Muslim-controlled countries are still centuries behind the times of free and democratic countries, in terms of social moralities and minority acceptance.
I’m arguing that brown countries are over stigmatized as backwards when it comes to women’s rights, when white countries aren’t as progressive as people would like to believe, and we still have a long way to go.
If by “brown countries”, you mean Islamic Sharia law countries, then they are, by definition, backwards when it comes to women’s rights. Afghani women’s rights groups were just starting to claw back modern social norms before Trump fucked it up and gave the country back to the backwater assholes that we call the Taliban.
We should stop accepting their beliefs as just some harmless extension of their religion, and call it out for the oppressive bullshit it is.

Yeah, that’s not my argument.

I never said anything about accepting sharia law. don’t know where you got that from.
