Religious friend mad at me

(RANT)

I was hanging out with my friends and my other friend brought up the fact that no religion is feminist (not sure how we got there in the convo). And my other friend, whos whole family is muslim and so is she, got mad at them (the friend who said it) then me,because i agreed. She started aggressively telling us that Islam is the most feminist religion. She very quickly started to get mad and yelled at us (in a public place) and she asked me if ive ever read the book of Quran, that she has and i should read it before saying anything about the religion, which is kind of funny considering the fact that she told us a couple days before that she haven't read the Quran and most muslim don't. Then she made this whole thing of flipping out and then walking out.

Me and the other friend didnt want to start an argument, we kept our voice levels normal the whole time and we never said anything mean or disrespect the religion in any way. We just stated a pretty much fact that Islam (just like every religion) holds up patriarchal beliefs, which in itself is the opposite of feminism.

I tried to have a convo with her, me and my other friend told her that we just wanted to have a mature conversation about it but she takes every thing personally and shuts it down immediately. This happened a few months ago and It seems like she has tried to forget the whole thing happened but she still makes comment about how islam is feminist but now we just dont agree or disagree with it because we don't want her to make a scene again

I dont really need advice with this situation, i just needed to get this out in a mini rant
