No system of oppression is perfect.

Some Muslims want their religion to advance with the times. Others want it to stay in the middle ages. Just like some catholics want to burn LGBT&c at the stake and others want to welcome their brothers and sisters.

Your lovely example of progress (or virtue signaling?) doesn't fix the existing issues inherent in the religion and a large number of its practitioners.
