Yea so according to him we should ignore the murdered woman executed by a very theocratic and sexist state. Why? Because he cant find the word "rape" in the written law, missing the fucking point that it would be no different than blacks being expected to trust a court system under segregation.
It is on the books, because they are getting their laws from the Koran. No different than the same "wink wink" that allowed citizens of Salem Mass to execute women with stacked male juries because of the words "thou shalt not suffer a witch to live". He'd be the moron saying "where are you seeing those words?"
Now lets see him argue "where do you see laws saying gays should be executed"?
I am sure gays are not being executed if we go by his logic. Just like in America there are no "wink wink" literal bible verses copied from Leviticus that are xeroxed into written law, that has allowed gays to be discriminated against and prevented them for far to long from having equal rights.
We must be imagining these things.

The reason why you are getting so much push-back here is not because people are oblivious to the issues of Islam's misogyny, it's because you insist on mischaracterizing why she was executed.
Mind you, I'm not arguing the merits of the case for or against her at all. I'm telling you that your rhetoric is not supported by the available reporting. When you overstep evidentiary support, you undermine your own credibility.
No I am not.
She got executed because she has a vagina and cannot use the same defense a man would if attacked even for non sexual assault.
Again you miss the bigger picture that was much the case in America. Getting stuck on words rather than actions and mentality is what you are doing.
When my sister was raped, back then, the mentality was that if you wore tight clothing or went somewhere with a man you just met, which is what she did, then she was at fault and not the man.
If you are going to rightfully call them misogynistic then accept that it is a stacked deck and that the laws are coming from the Koran.
Just like even today you do not have to find the word "Leviticus" in written law to know that Christian bigots have voted to ban gay marriage.
You do not have to literally see "The bible says being gay is a sin" written into law, you still know it is why the discriminatory laws have existed.
She was executed for having a vagina.
