Whenever people talk about "interpretation" where the Bible or the Quran is concerned, I give the side-eye.
I've said this before, but most of the time the Bible is very clear in what it is saying. It doesn't use poetic language for the most part, it is blunt clean language. There are only so many different (pretty much one) ways you can interpret "women must be silent in church" for example. It says exactly what the fuck it says, there's no "interpretation" about it.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
