What is & #39;the Muslim space& #39;? Where can I find this fabled place? It& #39;s bandied about whenever & #39;internal& #39; issues arise w/n the Muslim & #39;community& #39;.
How do I reach this place? And will I be allowed in?

Women, Black, Queer, differently-abled and minority Muslims are constantly reminded that their gripes must be dealt w/ & #39;inside the Muslim space& #39;, lest Islamophobes catch wind and weaponise our grievances against & #39;our community& #39;.
Re: misogyny, we are tired of bearing this burden collectively on behalf of miscreant hetronormative, cis-gendered Muslim men.
Our existence is not tied to your honour.
Your Islam is not in jeopardy if we speak out about Your numerous abuses that have plagued & #39;our community& #39;.

Saying let& #39;s deal w/racism, misogyny, sexism, ableism & #39;inside Muslim spaces& #39; is insulting, tantamount to abetting abuse. It enables the most deviant to stifle all debate.
No accountability, no justice, no change in mindset/behaviour. Business as usual after some non-apology.

Re: misogyny, we& #39;re reminded & #39;not all Muslim men& #39;. Great to know some of you were & #39;raised right& #39; but saying this doesn& #39;t fix the problem.
Saying & #39;sorry you had this experience& #39; does not alleviate the issue.
Stop treating each incident as an exception when there are countless.

Recognise this is indicative of a serious structural problem w/n & #39;the Muslim space& #39;.
It is place where women, Black, Queer, differently-abled and minority Muslims are continuously policed, told to pipe down for the good of & #39;our community& #39;.
We are exhausted.
