    As well described in another comment thread, Quran literally encourages everyone to learn, with no gendered distinction made.

    You may easily write off bigotry on religion, but it’s literally them doing some crazy shit and covering with religion that clearly says not to do this.

    That’s same as many American Christians literally ignoring the Bible, but this time way more consequential. Bigots will stick to religion as an instrument of power and hope nobody actually reads the sacred books, because they never said all those things. Should there be no religion, they’d use something else.

    That is not to say religions are flawless. But bigotry just uses religion as a cover, it doesn’t come from it.

      Religion in reality is defined by the action of its adherents. The books are just pieces of paper, that the holy book doesn’t condone this cruelty is immaterial when the adherents are overwhelmingly indulged in it. There are definitely Islamic sects around the globe that are socially good, but Talibani Islam is filth that needs to be eradicated.

        Sure, and here we can agree.

        Just saying that Talibani Islam is as far from actual Islam as Greenland from Australia.
