Perhaps the term I'm misunderstanding is the notion of supporting Islamic culture.
Is your question 'how can any western, non muslim woman support any aspect of muslim culture", or does it just pertain to the parts about beating, raping, oppressing, etc... women? It seems pretty obvious that nobody who values women's rights would support that. But that's just one part of the culture, yes?
Would you find it strange for a western, non-muslim world to support muslim art, music, literature, religion (from a less fundamentalist perspective) and whatnot, but oppose the poor treatment of women?
