Muslims and non-Muslims in the West are peacefully protesting by exercising their right to free speech. They aren't going around the city with weapons forcing schools to stop the LGBTQ+ indoctrination.
They are citizens of the country who do not want any interference from...

the state when it comes to educating their children. They can vote and they can change the laws, too.

Every act of free speech is an advocacy of coercion. When women were "peacefully" protesting in Iran, they weren't doing this just to take their hijabs off publicly in front of the camera. They wanted to change the entire country.

When feminists like you are protesting in Pakistan, your aim is not to have a long walk on the roads of Islamabad and Karachi but your aim is to change the entire system (legal and social) of patriarchy which, according to you, oppresses women.

Whether it's women in Iran or feminists in Pakistan, the ideology of the state is in clear contradiction with their agendas. Therefore, by your own logic, women from these countries SHOULD leave and move to the West where they will be offered their LGBTQ+ rights.

Just like you suggested to Muslims in the West that, if given a fair chance, they should ("should" becz you are suggesting. Though you are just one step away from being a xenophobic far-right ideologue) leave the West, why don't you suggest the same thing to feminists in 🇵🇰?

It is impossible to have a state where all freedoms are equally respected.

That's why Prof. Safranek argues,
"No theory of liberalism can cogently uphold the liberal claim to personal liberty or equality without infringing others’ liberty or equality and thus vitiating the same claim." (p. xiii)

And,
"The contradiction is that every theory grounded on liberty, autonomy, equality, or dignity violates the liberty, autonomy, equality, or dignity of those opposed to that theory. When legislated, liberal theory, which forbids harm, harms its opponents." (p.xvi)

What actually reveals how unread and hostile you are to Muslims and Islam is this tweet.
The Muslim world has been devastated for centuries. Do you know what happened in Iraq or Afghanistan? Or maybe you just don't care about these invasions.

Every Muslim will migrate to the Muslim world if the West stops devastating their home countries.
The US and Western European countries are responsible for this mass migration from Muslim (and non-Muslim) countries.

Just like it is impossible for white nationalist far-right ideologues to conceive of the possibility of Muslims BEING CITIZENS in Western countries and participating in politics to CHANGE LAWS.
Similar is the case with liberal progressivists of Pakistan like @sabizak.
They exercise their right to free speech in a Muslim country like Pakistan, calling all Pakistani Muslims barbaric extremists. But anyone who disagrees with them (such as Muslims) then they believe that the only solution is deportation.
