"in the manner it's used" is the problem, the religion is baked into the culture.
It's like saying "god bless you". Sure that's culture. But the foundations where it comes from brings with it that women have less rights.
At the core, the police and the religious olds don't match the basic human rights the rest of us accept as a baseline. Culture is not an excuse. Religion is being an enabler of abuse is even worse.

It's just a turn of phrase. Do you seriously go on a diatribe about human rights when someone says "god bless you"? Sneezing in public sounds like a miserable experience then.

They seem to have missed the part where it translates to 'God willing' which is something we say all the time. It's almost like the religion is baked into our culture, too.
