I have to say, it's much easier being tolerant of Islam before actually visiting an Islamic country than after. Many of the men I talked to were very misogynistic. They were very pushy with women in our group and rarely understood the concept of women telling them no. The idea that the hijab is respectful is bullshit, it's purely to demonstrate that they are property and without it, the animalistic men would just take them due to their "inability" to control themselves.
