I’ve only read “Platform,” and I read it when it first came out. It is misogynistic and Islamophobic. It was considered “edgy” when it first came out. It was also very soon after 9/11, and Islamophobia was rampant, that definitely doesn’t justify it, but Islamophobia was conflated with patriotism at the time. I remember thinking the book was over rated and wondering if there was something lost in the translation (I read it in English as I am an American.)
