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.

It's not just the hypocrisy of the left and Feminist about Muslim violence in the middle east. It's Muslim violence in the U.S. as well. The presidants constant refusal to call any act by a Muslim in the U.S. terrorism no matter how gruesome or obvious the signs that their was religious ideology or terror acts at work.
Furthermore, it's the left and specifically feminist silence or in some instances outright defense of Muslims groups domestically despite the negative treatment of women and women's rights documented in multiple middle eastern and predominately Muslim majority nations.It's comes off a bit hypocritical and inconsistant when viewed through the prism of how the left attacks republicans every presidential campaign (war on women) for example.
