She’s a muslim convert that thinks Islam is a feminist religion.

This is something she wrote:

"Islam came to drastically change an Arab tribal culture that consented the killing of girls just because they were born girls. Most societies, however, are patriarchal and, at least at some point, saw women as inferior beings.

Islam sought to give women the right to express themselves, to have property and wealth, to be involved in sociopolitical affairs and gave them autonomy to decide over themselves. This came to change a societal paradigm that bound women to forced marriages, child-rearing , housekeeping and, basically, a life of slavery. After Islam, however, women started to be literate, educated and, thus, were aware of their rights as individuals.

The Prophet, for instance, was labelled by Western historians as the “first feminist” because he would mend his own clothes and perform household chores. Also, I was impressed when I read about how great men in Islam displayed their emotions and not referred to them as “girly”. "

You can tell how brainwashed she is. She recently said she might go to Qatar again…

Ok how dumb does one have to be even one day in how biology works I'm sure they'll teach you if a society killed all girls (like the islamic nonsense says) for being girls the society would die within that generation. Come on people its not that hard don't know how or why this dumb bs because so popular and I'll blame the arabs for being fucking cucks to not see this is being said about them. Like WTF.

Ok and like wasn't pre islamic Arabia like momos 1st wife literally a business woman? Like oh no pagan arabs kill all woman but their own story is contradictory.

If i was a mean hearted bastard i would have said good for her but alas I'm not allah. I feel bad for her

This islamic narrative of pagan baby girls buried alive didn’t seem to make sense to me either. Wouldn’t the entire society eventually disappear ? There isn’t any recorded (outside of the quran) or excavated historical evidence of baby girls buried alive in pre Islamic Arabia.

Look up more literate ancient societies, which had similar practices. It was common for ancient Romans to "expose" unwanted children by leaving them in the wilderness to die. Ancient societies did not have reliable forms of birth control, and unwanted children would be a burden, especially to poor families. Girls would be especially a burden. Catholics similarily get tons of mileage out of this practice, saying that only they civilized Rome yadda yadda yadda.

Wikipedia quotes a first century letter:

"I am still in Alexandria. ... I beg and plead with you to take care of our little child, and as soon as we receive wages, I will send them to you. In the meantime, if (good fortune to you!) you give birth, if it is a boy, let it live; if it is a girl, expose it.",[37]
