theres wahhabist islam, moderate islam and so on. In Morocco women are almost equal with men- because the current king introduced these measures. Therefore Morocco prospers. In Oman a sultan who is more progressive than USA presidents does his best to improve his countrys economy and the status of its people. In Israel the Druze muslim fight in the IDF. In Turkey you have progressive muslims and women in the army in the big city and honour killings because a girl spoke to the wrong boy in the countryside. And then in saudi arabia beloved ally of the west gay people are killed and women are stoned. In pakistan women are stoned, killed, burned with acid for wanting equality. There is no monolithic islam. But pretending that there arent problems is a cretinous thing that doesnt help anybody. And having a fight between two white rich and privileged liberals about it? Thats the american problem. Affleck is an idiot. maher has a very valid point which he could have formulated better. The same as Christianity Islam isnt monolithic and acknowledging this should be the first step of any reasonable discussion.
