All of the Abrahamic religions are misogynistic.
Not exactly. They all have misogynistic passages. And it's not just Abrahamic religions.
My proposal is misogyny can currently be seen to be institutionalized from the texts of Islam the religion into the law, society and culture of Islam in the current world.
I'll tell you what. You want to tell me two wrongs make a who cares. Somewhere in the Bible some passage demeans women. Somewhere in the Koran some passage lays them low. Therefore, who cares, right? Potayto, Potatto.
That's wrong on multiple levels but first show me how it's even correct. Show me we're talking about the same thing.
Let's use a simple concept to start. We'll use these.
$1:
Quran (4:11) - (Inheritance) "The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females" (see also verse 4:176)
$1:
Quran (2:282) - (Court testimony) "And call to witness, from among your men, two witnesses. And if two men be not found then a man and two women."
Find me the biblical equivalent.
That was the easy bit. Now show me the Christian equivalent of this.
$1:
Countries where in some cases a woman's testimony is worth half of that of a man:
Algeria (in criminal cases)[19]
Bahrain (in Sharia courts)[20]
Egypt (in family courts)[21]
Iran (in most cases)[22]
Iraq (in some cases)[23]
Jordan (in Sharia courts)[24]
Kuwait (in family courts)[25]
Libya (in some cases)[26]
Morocco (in family cases)[27]
Palestine (in cases related to marriage, divorce and child custody)[28]
Qatar (in family law matters)[29]
Saudi Arabia[30]
Syria (in Sharia courts)[31]
United Arab Emirates (in some civil matters)[32]
Yemen (not allowed to testify at all in cases of adultery and retribution)[33]
See cause if you can't give me the specific Christian equivalent of this in our current world you're speaking the language of false equivalence. It's worthless.
I'm saying the misogyny of Mohamed is observably passed into the day to day communal life or society of regions of the real world we currently live in. Again, this is current. Show me a law evolving out of a Judaeo-Christian moral view that says something like a woman has to present 4 male witnesses to lay a charge of rape or she does time for adultery. Show me it in today's world. I can give examples Islamic societies of today where this happens in their Sharia courts.
Stop pretending all religions and cultures are the same. They're not.
