I am Muslim and I lived in the middle east all my life, to tell you the truth, Americans don't have the true pictures about how women are treated in the middle east,you see only what the media wants you to see.
I'm not telling you that all women are treated well, at the same time most Muslim women are treated very well,I don't know if you would believe that I have never seen any mistreated woman in my family or friends, our husbands treat us like queens
At the same time we see a lot of mistreated women in America they even have institutions especially for that, women are beaten in America just like any other country in the world, middle-eastern or not, so, I guess it has nothing to do with religion, it happens everywhere.

Eins: The young exposed to westernised values with old laws provides for uneasy tension. Similarly, children whose peer pressure demands popular acceptance are alienated from the context in which their parents grew up.
Zwei: Middle east religious treatment can be harsher though no better an excuse, when old baggage are brought to new shores. These values, cultures and belief systems that accompanied migrants, providing a psychological security blanket against the new unknown. It does not help if they are alienated. Third and Fourth generation migrants that have often mixed with the indigenous people of the new land are more readily able to comprehend their environs.
Impressionable 2nd generation migrant youths of Indian and Pakistan decent still fight on the streets of Birmingham. Influential information from society over time precedes the degradation of cultural and beliefs systems carried by their forefathers, with the 3rd generation more into discos than bringing along the fight from their home lands.
Drei:
Migration has always caused political tension especially with entrenched "un-evolving" old cultures, pax americana not excluded, hence the recent deportation cases around the world.

Muslims in the middle east suffer from traditions that was forced into religion although it is not from it. These old traditions that was unfair to women sometimes. Muslims in USA have freedom of these traditions so they only follow the essence of Islam as it should be. They are succesful and happy. That is the truth about Islam, if we understod it and apply it properly in all aspects of our life, we will be happy and every one will be happy. Do not learn Islam from the practice of some muslims, but lear it from its source i.e. Quran and Sunnah, and try to adhere to it as much as you can.

Not being a Muslim woman from "over there" I can only tell you what I have seen on the news which is they don't want to leave, they only want to be treated as equals in the sense that they want to get educations, voice their own opinions and be taken seriously by the men who currently can tell them what to do and they must do it. That is what I was told. I heard nothing about them wanting to leave their countries.

Women should be as equal as men are, regardless of religion. The suppresion of women is an insecurity. In ancient Persia, there were women that held offices in the military. There are some women that are more man than men are, and there are some men that are more women than women are.

U have confused me. My brain is seizing. I don't understand your question. You are unclear. Just be blunt and say what you want. No one is going to sue you. In America there's this thing called FREE SPEACH and it's guaranteed by the constitution. SO SPEAK!
