First of all, I would just like to say that while I consider the Koran to be barbaric and anti-human, I consider to the Bible and the Torah to be just as bad if not worse. So, I am an equal opportunity anti-Abrahamic religion...ist.
Secondly, you accuse Vanilla of internalized mysogny, and yet muslim women who are wearing the Hijab according to cultural laws created and maintained by men are doing so of their own free will? What about the burka? Not internalized misogyny either?
