Misogyny is not an absolute; it's a byproduct of a particular cultures view of the different sexes. Hence whether or not it's appropriate to call something misogynistic is dependent upon the cultural context.
The behavior being exhibited here is racist. Why is it racist? Because it's ethnocentric.

Then misogyny must be defined as hatred/discrimination towards western women by western men. In that case, it's not so much 'wrong' as it is a matter of poor manners based on a particular cultural context.

If I were to say "all Christians are homophobic, racist, sexist pigs" then everyone would be all "omgggg not all of us hate u gays/womenetc"
I mean especially to treat Muslims as if they're all backwards witless cretins is so laughably ignorant of history that it makes me want to punch myself in the face w/ secondhand embarrassment.
Lets remember Christian nations are actually the least civilised in a lot of ways.

But nobody is saying that all Muslims are misogynists. If you were to say Christianity has problem with homophobia I wouldn't disagree with you. It's no different to point out that Muslim countries tend to have sexist laws.
