Personally I would say it is cultural expectations and behaviours that lead to protecting males like this/excusing their behaviour, rather than religious ones.
The actual religion of Islam is not the misogynistic violent religion that it is often depicted to be. The misogyny often comes from the culture of the area which, when you look into it, will often be in place regardless of religion. FGM, to take one horrific example, is practised by Christians, Jews, and Muslims in certain countries which would indicate a cultural rather than religious bias.
To sweepingly declare that crimes like this are due to Islam is a simplistic and problematic approach. It is othering an entire religion when the best way to overcome negative attitudes towards women is surely for us all to work together to explore the real reasons behind these attitudes and to attempt to educate and improve negativity.
Sorry, that's a bit waffley!
