re: Why Are SJW's and Feminists Largely Silent Regarding Muslim Violence?

You obviously don't talk to many educated Republicans, I guess?

I do. They talk about it, but the platform isn't "We hate the European welfare state!" or "We hate Chinese human rights abuses!" Instead it's "We need to do XYZ to avoid going down the path of Europe/China." The focus isn't on condemning countries abroad but on ensuring our domestic policies prevent us from becoming them. In the same light it makes sense that feminists wouldn't raise a huge ruckus over violence against women in the Middle East; they would be concerned with making sure we don't go down the path the Middle East did, and since we aren't in any realistic threat of doing so, there's just nothing to say.
