You have to remember how progressives think. For example.
Brown country executes gays
Some parts of white country disapproves of gay marriage
They're the same! They're equally evil!
Women in Muslim country must wear burka, can't go outside without husband's permission, can be legally beaten and raped by husband with impunity.
Women are sometimes sexually assaulted in white country.
The SAME! They're EXACTLY THE SAME!
This is the way progressives 'think'.
