Which is worse? Allowing them to be treated the way a 3rd world country treats them, or killing them with U.S. or Israeli clusterbombs?
There are plenty of women who are severely abused in the U.S. too. Watch the news, or google up "spousal abuse". Let's not pick on another culture's isolated incidents to make excuses to invade their sovereign land.

Islam clearly teaches that a woman is a full-person under the law, and is the spiritual equal of a male. Also, according to Islamic Law, women have the right to own property, operate a business and receive equal pay for equal work. Women are allowed total control of their wealth, they cannot be married against their will and they are allowed to keep their own name when married. Additionally, they have the right to inherit property and to have their marriage dissolved in the case of neglect or mistreatment. Also, Islam does not consider woman an "evil temptress", and thus does not blame woman for the "original sin". Women in Islam participate in all forms of worship that men participate in. Actually, the rights that Islam gave to women over 1400 years ago were almost unheard of in the West until the 1900s. Less than fifty years ago in England and America, a woman could not buy a house or car without the co-signature of her father or husband!
Islam is winning Western women admirers despite hostile media coverage It is even more ironic that most British converts should be women, given the widespread view in the west that Islam treats women poorly. In the United States, women converts outnumber men by four to one, and in Britain make up the bulk of the estimated 10, 000 to 20, 000 converts, forming part of a Muslim community of 1 to 1.5 million.
Prophet Muhammad told Muslim men, "the best among you is the one who is best to his family." Not Islam, but some Muslim men, do oppress women today. This is because of their cultural habits or their ignorance about their religion.

The treatment of WOMEN regardless of their religion differs from one place to the other, in Germany it's different from France and there it's different the UK and then it's different from China or India, just like in New York it's different from Texas and so on.
Islam as a religion gave women a very high and special place both in life and beyond, I will only give two examples:
Prophet Muhammad said: Heaven lies at the footsteps of mothers.
and also when man asked which of his parents he should pay more attention and care, the Prophet told him "Your Mother, Your Mother, Your Mother and then your father".

Islam treatment of Women is far better than any cultural treatments.1400 years a go Islam gave women the right to divorce husband for his bad looks beside other things. In the past women were sex propriety where the in west the catholic church called for one marriage only there was no freedom to divorce and men committed Adultery most of the time remember king Henry lovers.

google islam/women/culture and see what you come up with....every single act against a woman that hurts her, degrades her, dehumanizes her, humiliates her, or even ends her life (by murder, stoning etc) in the muslims world is caused by man(muslim men) and not by God or the Quran.
some countries are much stricter on women than others but there is really no muslim country that treats its women the way God intended and its all down to culture...as is true for many countries regardless of what religion prevails.
with men(not all) pride, ego, and "ownership" of women takes precedent over any law or right God may have given them......in this case culture is king and God and the Quran are but distant cousins....very sad.

women in islam have a very respected status, unfortunately people misunderstand this. and sometimes the human nature behavior of men, not their religion, makes them high-handed over women. in islam, a woman is held in high regard, that should be guarded like a pearl, again unfortunately, people misunderstand this to misuse of women. so the treatment of muslim women if according to islam, is a very high and respectful treatment, people from other religions misunderstand this because they have different values and beliefs. it is a matter of perspective.

Yes we in the "west" do have individuals that mistreat women, but at least we have legal systems in place that try to protect them and a society that frowns on such behaviour.
Unlike some Muslim countries which stone women to death for adultery while excusing the males involved for all sorts of reasons. Where brothers murder their sisters for dishonouring their families. One has to assume they are perfect although murder is probably one of the most horrible crimes.
Then there is the crime of rape for which the woman is found responsible because she must have driven the poor man to lust.
You are probably correct in saying it depends on which country.

this is absolutely wrong
muslims are muslims whether pakistani or american or german.
when Quran(book having codes of living) says oh Muslims it means muslims universaly and not of a particular area.
in his last surmon to Muslims Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) told Muslim to treat women nicely for they will be accountable for that to Allah .this shows the prestige of women in Islam but no body is willing to accept it but truth remains truth no matter how many times it is denied.
