Women should not travel more than 48 miles without a male escort – Muslim group

This absolutely. It's opening the door for Islamism to come straight onto Western soil by softer, covert means. We allow wahhabi Saudi Arabia to fund mosques in Europe and then wonder why local Muslims are becoming radicalised.

Misogyny within a particular society or religion is a legitimate conversation, because misogyny mainfests itself differently and to different degrees in many cultures. I get tired of people derailing conversations about misogyny within Islam by saying "well there's misogyny in every culture!". Ok we understand that, it's not wrong, but it's a matter of degrees here. Western culture has legacies of misogyny but womens' rights have come on leaps and bounds within the last century, to the degree where it's now taboo to hold misogynist views here. That kind of development is only just starting to gain ground with many Islamic societies and there's still massive visceral backlash against it.

It's a matter of degrees. Yes we can show disapproval at Italy and other Southern European countries for frowning upon women for wearing skirts above the knee in churches. That doesn't suddenly mean we can't be appalled at Saudi Arabia and Iran's far more extreme policies of punishing unveiled women anywhere in public.

"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."
