Uh no its not Islamophobia, its just the truth. It doesnt have to be this way but it is. Claiming anything else is just denying the fact that women in these cultures are systematically oppressed and enslaved.

You don’t understand: I’m a good person, so when I want to do horrible things, that’s OK, because as a good person, I’ll only do horrible things to bad people.

“A medieval device for a medieval act.”

(The quote I’ve only seen in viral images, not in any verifiable news sources, but it’s memorable and relevant regardless)
