I will take blasphemy, it's terrible but at least I can see it...

...allowing women to preach is hate speech though? Not the other way around??

'Hate speech' is entirely defined by the government's opinion on issues.

Muhammad forbid that women gain equal standing with men in the Muslim world...Christ forbid that women gain equal standing in the Christian world....Yeshua forbid that women gain equal standing in the Jewish world...

I'm sensing a pattern here...

Almost all religion is evil. Some are worse than others.
