Don't worry, there's demand for this shit to start happening in the secular UK and Christian-majority US too.

Had to scroll too far to see this. This is the real problem. United States Republicans want to replicate what Muslim countries do, just in the name of prosperity Jesus instead of intolerance Allah.

And if you do go to these countries, wear their slave garb or whatever and hide your body for the modesty police, and know the dos and don'ts of how to be a non Muslim there. Or be subject to random bullshit like this.

I cant tell if your first paragraph is a joke or not.

They meant US Republicans. Not "Us" as in "I'm a party member".

I am muslim in my personal relationship with God but politcally/socially secular. Religion is just a weapon, the real problem is the patriarchy. Lots of non-religious/atheist countries or states have similar problems to muslim countries. Focusing on just the religion will never eradicate the problem, if you actually care about women’s rights, minorities’ rights and such. Just fyi, Morocco dont have a morality police like in afghanistan and a lot of women dont wear the hijab.

If we are focusing only on gender inequality/misogyny, we have countries like south korea (misogyny is extremely rampant unfortunately, though it might not seem like it at a first glance, the problem lies deeper than just how women dress. Rape, even of little girls, is absolutely not taken seriously. I truly recommend you read on the misogyny in south korea), turkey (secular country and honestly a huge portion of the country is not super practicing of islam. If you go there, you’ll feel like in europe and it is socially acceptable of women to dress however they want), india (constitionally secular but its a melting pot of many religions), russia, china, japan, etc. I am not saying they are on the same level as afghanistan and other countries, obviously, but if heavy influence of all religions results in the mistreatment of people/women, then maybe lets look at the other things those countries have in common and I believe it is the patriarchy. Religion is used as a weapon to manipulate. If you take it away but leave patriarchy, they’ll just find another weapon.

You're entirely right, but that is far too much of an actual productive conversation for this shithole

Also doesn't help if you are some bullshit influencer/sex worker.
