why are western feminists so quiet on islam?

i would love to know that. and i would love to hear an honest answer without her fearing she will be ''honorably killed'' or disowned for not agreeing with practices 1500 years old.

Oh, would you 'love to know that' really? So what is it exactly that's stopping you from 'knowing' that? And what is it exactly that's making you 'know' the opposite? I'll tell you what it is: bias. You hold on to an antiquated, close-minded way of thinking: that every Muslim woman who wears a burka does so because she is frightened of the repercussions of her not doing so. That practice may be 1500 years old (1400 to be more exact) but so is inhalation and exhalation. If the Muslim women of today relate to and agree with what the Muslim women of 1400 years ago did, what's your problem? You're the one demeaning and belittling them, not their men. You're the one calling them 'submissive dogs' when all they're doing is whatever they want. I suppose women are only being truly free when they walk down streets half-naked? Hypocrisy at its finest. You should be ashamed of yourself.

oh i am sure many muslim women are fine with it, especially in muslim countries. but this is what happens when you brainwash someone from birth and they get no other options. this goes for every religion and ideology. most people will just go with the flow since they don't want to deviate from the norm.

btw, what should the penalty for apostasy in islam be?

There you go again, degrading Muslim women in general and calling them 'brainwashed' simply for doing whatever they want to. A person doesn't have to be brainwashed to save a place for common modesty in their hearts. You're a bigot, that's all.

you avoided my question: what is the penalty for apostasy in islam?

You seem to be a right scholar on Islam already, I'm surprised you don't know that one yet. I'd suggest you look it up on Wikiislam and add it to your cart of sunny facts about Islam, bigot.

because racism really, really doesn't concern white people at the same scale as POC.

Just look at TSR.

Muslims are constantly complaining about "hostility" against them when people are against the burka/hitting women.

Almost everyone on TSR who isn't Muslim speaks against Muslim women's oppression.

Edit: I don't think Muslim women are the only ones who need help. I think there are many Muslim men and women who would like to live a normal life but can't because of their families. If I ever become rich I'll open a charity for those people.

Those who turn their back on Islam are to be executed. This is confirmed by the words and deeds of Muhammad. The only freedom of belief in Islam is the freedom to become Muslim.

"They wish that you should disbelieve as they disbelieve, and then you would be equal; therefore take not to yourselves friends of them, until they emigrate in the way of God; then, if they turn their backs, take them, and slay them wherever you find them; take not to yourselves any one of them as friend or helper." - [Qur'an 4:89]

"But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then are they your brethren in religion. We detail Our revelations for a people who have knowledge. And if they break their pledges after their treaty (hath been made with you) and assail your religion, then fight the heads of disbelief - Lo! they have no binding oaths - in order that they may desist." - [Qur'an 9: 11-12]

Our beloved Prophet and messenger said:

" If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.' " - [Bukhari 52:260]

This is applicable under Islamic Law.

Isn't that considered quite a racist term?

I've been told that it's preferable to "non-white people". If that's wrong, then someone please correct me.

not even talking about islamic countries necessarily , but the millions of muslim women that now live in the western world. these are women who deal with real problems , yet instead they always moan about retarded issues like why does m&s designate toys for boys or girls . or the latest disney movie. or men's golf clubs (while women should be allowed to keep their own segregated clubs).

That has nothing to do with apostasy

Doesn't the Quran-10:99 say ""Had your Lord willed, everyone on earth would have believed. Do you then force people to become believers?" "

'People of colour' implies difference as deviation (ie. that 'white' is standard, normal). I'd say 'non-white' is more simply delineative.
