They do, but don't expect 9 out 10 users here to understand that. Most of these dolts think all muslims are terrorists.
It respects women in a different way than we as americans are accustomed to. Extremist fundamentalist Islam however does not respect women but seeks to control and dominate them much like religious fundies here.

Women are respected in Islam a lot. they are given more rights in this religion than any other which you might find surprising. but both men and women have different roles in society but in Islam Muslims believe that women have more of an influence on society so they need to be educated but men also need to be educated to provide a living for his family. When women work they don't need to give their money to their family or their husband but keep it for themselves the husband has no right to ask for it from her its kewl isn't it!
In fact the prophets first wife was a really wealthy business woman and the prophet actually worked for her.

The religion itself is respectful of women, but interpretation of the Koran by Imams has introduced a number of aspects that are not respectful of women.
Female circumcision is not part of the Koran, but in many Muslim countries females are circumcised from "ceremonial circumcising" -- just scratching the clitoris; or the next level is the removal of the clitoris, or the removal of the Vulva, or the most severe, "Infibualtion", the removal of the Vulva and clitoris then sewing up the Labia Majoria with only a small opening left for urination and menstruation.

It depends on what level of Islam is followed. The strict followers see women as property basically. They aren't treated as equals.

The answer is "it depends." Just like the answer to whether or not Christianity or Judaism respects women. Some ways of practicing it to do and others do not.

"I'm BETTER THAN YOU": Not all Muslims are terrorists, but just about 99% of the terrorists that I have heard about...are Muslim. What a coincidence!

In general, no they don't. Women are considered property (almost slaves in some families.)
