What happens to women (maybe muslims), only happens in some cultures, but they dont seem to hate their religion for it, they're smart enough to understand that Islam gave them lots of rights but the culture has changed it. for example in india and pakistan, Muslims have been living aside Hindus too long, who knows what theri customs are? what makes you think they are so good to their wives? have u been there? seen it? ..i guess not all of it...do you actually know what might be happening in other countries or even in this very country...we're not all sure are we?
I'm a girl, i love being a muslim!
so please dont look at islam as if its sexist, at the end of the day most muslim converts are women.
Prejudice..is bad =(

For Muslim men and women, for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in charity, for men and women who guard their chastity, for men and women who engage in Allah's praise, for them has Allah prepared forgiveness and a great reward.
(says men and women together, showing equality)

Who ever has a daughter and does not bury her alive, does not insult her and does not favour his son over her, God will enter him into paradise.
- Ibn Hanbal, Ahadith
When news is bought to one of them of the birth of a female child, his face darkens and he is filled with inward grief! With shame does he hide himself from his people because of the bad news he has had! Shall he retain her on sufferance and contempt, or bury her in the dust? Ah! What an evil choice they decide on.
- Al Qur'an 16:58-59
These two verses from the Qur'an are saying that those who bury their daughters alive will suffer hellfire. The first one is speaking in the future tense towards the questioning from God on the day of the resurrection. When God questions the baby girl she cannot answer this question and will go to Heaven. When the father and those responsible are questioned he will not be able to give a response to satisfy God or his soul and so is condemned to the hellfire.

My sister is married to a muslim , and he is a nice normal guy with her. But, you have to understand that the media, and the extremeists who are causing so much suffering in our country and theirs have presented themselves as an example of their religion (Islam) and have doomed the rest of you to struggle with the hateful bask-lash for their haenous acts. Not just on 9-11, but in numerous atrocities aggainst their own wives and daughters often reported about in the news. You have to admitt, these things have happened and do happen, and the government, which is also professing to be under the laws if Islam allow these things to happen without punishing the men who were guilty of this. I don't understand how those people can stray so far from the "peaceful" nature and intent of the founders of Islam. I am a Pagan/Wiccan so don't email me, thanks

Women's word counts half of a man in a court of sharia law. They get half the inheritence a man does. In many islamic countries a wife cannot travel without her husbands permission. In Saudi Arabia women cannot even drive. Women who get beaten by there husbands in muslim countries often have no recourse. And the fact the christian religion often mistreats women as well is no excuse for islam to do the same.

You have the right to remain silent. The only reason muslims in india are more tolerant is because hinduism is inseperable from india. That hindu tolerance has rubbed off on them. Islamic tolerance otherwise is an oxymoron.

That's very good, I don't think Muslims are very sexist. I think those terrorist give Muslims a bad name, and I know Muslims aren't violent. The Muslims are just trying to do Gods work the way they beleave. The way the Quran thought them.

Islam allow women to serve men and males in general. That is their ONLY right.
Learn the facts correct and learn to listen muslim women who knows what they should have.
The right to choice and the right to say I want.

Then you can cite those parts of either the Qur'an that enumerated your rights or present the dogma that outlines them, please?
