Fun fact, cats have a special place in Islam. They are (one of?) the only animals considered clean enough to be conspired suitable as pets (in the house).

Even better, they are seen as clean as people are after they do the ritual washing before prayer.

Probably different views on this per region, but in any case, Muhammad was a big fan of cats. He wouldn't even shoo them away during prayer.

I think some local folklores even say that cats are the witnesses of God. They will whisper your deeds in God's ears at your moment of judgment.

Not religious myself, but I found this interesting when I found out.

My cat is ao trusting now I can pick him up while he sleeps, move him to the next room and he will continue to sleep as if nothing ever happened

But dear god, if you don't let him outside at point 5am he will scream bloody murder

Give me one example otherwise. One example of Islam raising their women up. Their women are being killed daily due to protesting their mistreatment in Islamic society. Now women can’t go to university anymore and fear persecution after the repressive westerners left.

Why is a woman’s testimony only worth 1/2 of a man’s? What about genital mutilation? Or special rules for women because they aren’t “intellectually equal” to men?

Never said anything about Afghanistan, these are issues across all of Islamic law and the role women play in the system.

“Women are legally disadvantaged by Islamic law in several domains of life. Particularly, women are disadvantaged in matters of sexual, domestic, legal, financial, sartorial, and physical autonomy. According to Islamic legal theory, while not all of Islamic law necessarily has a perceptibly rational basis, legal restrictions on women may be due to their supposed intellectual deficiency, which was pronounced by Muhammad according to Sahih Bukhari.”
