Every Abrahamic religion
(and likely every world religion)
has feminists, progressives, secularists,
moderates, fundamentalists, nationalists,
and even violent extremists.
There are Muslim feminists,
just like there are Jewish feminists
and Christian feminists.
There are progressive Christians,
just like there are progressive Muslims
and progressive Jews.
There are moderate Muslims,
just like there are moderate Jews
and moderate Christians.
There are nationalist Jews,
just as there are nationalist Christians
and nationalist Muslims.
There are fundamentalist Christians,
just like there are fundamentalist Muslims
and fundamentalist Jews.
There are violent extremist Muslims,
just like there are violent extremist Jews
and violent extremist Christians.
Most people within each of these religions
are perfectly decent people,
who mean no harm to anyone,
and who are kind and care about
their neighbors and communities.
Let's not defame each others' religious traditions
as if we were really so different from anyone else.
And if you've never heard of a Muslim feminist,
or a progressive Jew,
or a Christian nationalist,
try Google.
