And of course, there it is.
Ryan’s murder is horrifying. She deserved safety, freedom, and support—but instead, she was failed by the people closest to her and by institutions meant to protect her. What happened to her wasn’t about Islam—it was about patriarchal control and deadly misogyny cloaked in the language of religion.
And that’s not unique to Islam. In ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities, women have been attacked for dressing “immodestly” or denied divorces for years. In some conservative Christian circles, honor, shame, and purity culture have been used to justify abuse, disownment, or worse. This kind of violence is rooted in power, not faith.
It is fundamentalist religion in general that puts women at risk. No single one is devoid of such attacks.
It’s wrong to exploit Ryan’s death to stoke Islamophobia. Doing so ignores the broader pattern of gender-based violence that exists across cultures and religions. If we really care about preventing tragedies like this, we should be talking about how to hold abusers accountable, how to recognize warning signs, and how to protect women and girls from systems that excuse control as “tradition.”
Blaming one single faith just distracts from real solutions.
Ugh I’m so tired of this shitbag

If you can’t figure out how to get a foreign table into your database let someone who knows databases do it for you
I mean, if you don’t use it for anything important and it doesn’t have any sensitive data, knock yourself out
It’s probably all been silently turned back on through updates
Good doggie
Maybe next time they’ll pick a better region to be born in
Remember, kids, nothing Israel has done justifies October 7th, but also, October 7th justifies everything Israel is doing.
Quite a thing to create the world’s most dire need for humanitarian aid in the history of the species and then criticize any aid as tiny in comparison to the need you’ve manufactured
I can’t help that I was born a bot, you bigot.
That’s only a slightly less well known bad move than getting involved in a land war in Asia or going against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
