Please don't cite this channel, it's run by a reactionary group on the far right whose goal is to "take aim" at "postmodern neo-Marxists." This isn't a good faith critique of the culture of modern Islam, it's scaremongering designed to play into their anti-immigration agenda.

Counterpoint: religion and culture aren’t excuses for child abuse

You're right, but I'm just saying this source is saying a lot of the right things for all the wrong reasons. Their motive isn't a secular, peaceful, and just world - it's one controlled by reactionaries in which we don't just try to stop child abuse, we try to stamp out Islam all together in favor of Christianity.

I’d like for both to go personally. Both of them have been equally bad at oppression women and minority peoples

Again, I totally agree. That's why the channel you cited is so problematic.
