If criticism of islam cannot happen in a muslim-majority country because of blasphemy and criticism of islam cannot happen in a muslim-minority country because of “islamophobia”, then where should criticism of islam happen? Everywhere and at any time. Criticism of Islam, often labelled “Islamophobia”, is not inherently racist, any more than criticism of communism or fascism is. Islam is a religion and a system of ideas, not a race. More than a century ago, Robert Green Ingersoll captured the problem beautifully: "Blasphemy is the word that the majority hisses into the ear of the few. Blasphemy is what an old mistake says of a newly discovered truth. Blasphemy is what a withered last year's leaf says to this year's bud. Blasphemy is the bulwark of religious prejudice. Blasphemy is the breastplate of the heartless." In a civilized society, no belief or idea, whether religious, political, or philosophical, should enjoy special privileges or exemption from scrutiny. No claim about reality should be placed beyond the reach of evidence.

In Saudi Arabia women are not allowed to visit cemeteries. Even if they lose a close family member, mother, father or child etc. This woman was outside the cemetery, because she can’t enter. Being woman in Islam Country means you can't live a normal life at all. Based on an Islamic hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah, which states that Mohammed cursed women who visit graves , (Sunan al-Tirmidhi narrated it in the Book of Funerals) the Saudi government has prohibited women from visiting burial sites. This restriction applies not only to ordinary cemeteries but also to Al-Baqi—where supposedly the wives and children of the Muhammad are buried—which women are not permitted to enter. Anyone who has performed Hajj or Umrah is likely aware of this. Several other governments have also banned women from visiting graves or attending funerals, citing this same hadith; these include the governments of Qatar, Oman, and Kuwait, as well as the emirates of Sharjah, Ajman, and Umm Al Quwain in the United Arab Emirates, and, as of 2021, the state of Libya. and Afghanistan. Islam truly hates women. therefore, it is impossible to reform Islam. Rule of thumb, you can never reform a system/ideology that was reactionary even for their own contemporary standards and is strongly authoritarian and misogynistic in its core.
