Societies that label as Islamic are generally conservative, and some are more conservative than others.
The USA in comparison is generally liberal, though some Americans are less liberal than others.
Though, religion is the nonsense that it is.
And oppressive misogynistic bullies are what they are.
I would suggest that conflating these two principles, is unavoidable, but actually a tad inappropriate.
And with the greatest of respect to a lot of my colleagues who label as Muslim.
Not all Muslim men are misogynistic bullies.
I would further suggest, that most phobic's are so, because that is what they are taught to be.
Sometimes in the name of religion.
And sometimes not.
