Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

When you have 2,000,000,000 people, everything happens at a high level. The number of rapes in China is crazy high compared to America because of how big of a population difference there is. Your problem is you assume that this is somehow condoned instead of being a literal CRIME in every single Muslim country. You will not find a Muslim leader who defends killing women. If you cannot see logic past your bigotry then I can’t help you. Peace.
No it's not, because you're not looking at the ratio to population.
Since you seem to think that it's not a problem.

Just FYI it's widely known that honor killings really don't get reported and neither do spousal rape.
You’re showing me an ARAB problem. Not all Arabs are Muslim, and 10% of Muslims are Arab.
If you check the prevalence of spousal abuse in a place like Syria, you’ll see that Muslims are no better or worse than Christians or Druze. FGM is actually more common among non-Muslims than Muslims in most African countries. The list goes on.
Stop blaming all Muslim and a religion for what is clearly a cultural problem.
So you didn't even check the paper....got it.
I did and you seem unwilling to acknowledge its flaws. I can’t help you.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/oct/31/honour-based-offences-soared-by-81-in-last-five-years
That's in England alone.
What flaws does that study have? The only one is that it lacks proper reporting because it's widely known that a lot of spousal abuse goes unreported in these countries.
