That’s only a slightly less well known bad move than getting involved in a land war in Asia or going against a Sicilian when death is on the line.

And of course, there it is.

Ryan’s murder is horrifying. She deserved safety, freedom, and support—but instead, she was failed by the people closest to her and by institutions meant to protect her. What happened to her wasn’t about Islam—it was about patriarchal control and deadly misogyny cloaked in the language of religion.

And that’s not unique to Islam. In ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities, women have been attacked for dressing “immodestly” or denied divorces for years. In some conservative Christian circles, honor, shame, and purity culture have been used to justify abuse, disownment, or worse. This kind of violence is rooted in power, not faith.

It is fundamentalist religion in general that puts women at risk. No single one is devoid of such attacks.

It’s wrong to exploit Ryan’s death to stoke Islamophobia. Doing so ignores the broader pattern of gender-based violence that exists across cultures and religions. If we really care about preventing tragedies like this, we should be talking about how to hold abusers accountable, how to recognize warning signs, and how to protect women and girls from systems that excuse control as “tradition.”

Blaming one single faith just distracts from real solutions.

Ugh I’m so tired of this shitbag

Exactly. You tell em! This is a discussion! It’s not a place to ask for definitions.

I would agree until they asked what it is

That’s true. “define chair” is a great conversation starter.

Yep, we’re right up there with lazy people who literally ask strangers to Google things for them and then sit back and wait for the response to be delivered to them personally. The worst.

In the time it took you to type that comment here, you could have typed it in Google and gotten an immediate response

They’re not humans, they’re programmers.

Aww hang in there little fella

Hey y’all, at least Gaza is saved, right? Take that, Kamala! Haha! Both sides are the same! All of this definitely would have happened under Kamala, it’s so obvious! Two wings of the same bird amirite?!
