Why is western feminism so afraid to criticize Islam?

It seems that Western feminism often hesitates to criticize Islam, perhaps due to a fear of feeding into Islamophobia or appearing insensitive to cultural differences. Furthermore, there is a desire to respect freedom of religion and avoid western-centric viewpoints. However, this silence can lead to the overlooking of genuine issues of gender inequality within Islamic societies. It's a delicate balance to strike, but open dialogue and respectful criticism should be encouraged in all aspects of society, including religious ones. After all, the goal of feminism is equality for all, regardless of culture or creed.
