Why do so many alleged feminists and leftist support this religion?

The oppressed often support other oppressed. Only a small minority of Muslims are misogynistic assholes. Not much different than in any population. One can support the right to freedom of religion without actually liking religion.

Not to mention their literal profit the man they believe to be most holy married a 6 year old and fucked her when she was 9.

One can support the right to freedom of religion without actually liking religion.

And if Jeffry Epstein claimed what he was doing was a religion would it be OK to support peoples freedom to practice that religion?

Nice chart I’m sure but it isn’t really readable on my phone. I think it shows views on various misogynistic attitudes for various regions. It probably matches pretty close to the U.S. general population in the 1950’s especially if only polling men. Yes a lot of the Muslim world is socially behind the West - probably because they keep getting bombed back to the Stone Age. And it looks like the U.S. is regressing sadly.
What people do under the guise of religion usually just reflects what they want to do without it. Look at the all the anti-everything-that-isn’t-white-cis from many supposed Christians, when their book teaches quite the opposite. And there are plenty of misogynistic atheists. Yes Mohammed having a 6-yo is pretty fucked up, but normal Muslims don’t advocate for child brides in this day - they attribute Mohammed’s child sex as a product of the times - whether that’s fair or not is beside the point - they don’t see it as a license to fuck kids now.
