We don't allow laundries, rape, or burning witches here! Alas some Muslim areas have stoning and female circumcision.
we don't have the Magdelene laundries here, but they had them until recently next door in Christian Ireland,  In Britain we had Christian homes for "wayward women" where single pregnant women were sent.  babies were taken from screaming women and given away into adoption against their will.  I know, I was born in one.

Also in the UK it was only in 1991 that a precedent was set in English law that allowed  rape within marriage to be prosecuted, as the Christian principle of conjugal rights allowed men to rape women whenever they chose. Some men here still think it's their god given right!

Mysogyny is mysogyny  whether Christian or Muslim.  Whether it is the horrific stoning of one women in one country, or the beating, rapes and killing of thousands of women in another because their Christian based culture brings up men in the belief that women are their inferiors.

All patriarchal religions should be criticised as their basic tenet is that women are lesser beings than men and i will sign the petition gladly, but i'm not going to point the holier than thou finger at one religion when the one i grew up in treats women like shit too.

My point is that this is not a Christian country. It's a parliamentary democracy. Yes! Even after the saps voted in the tories. Iran's wacky leaders describe themselves as a n Islamic people's republic or some such.
oh, so now we are talking in terms of individual countries . That's a totally different argument

Cologne was talking about the muslim religion as a whole, and that's what I was addressing.... I thought you were supporting her argument.
