There are many misconceptions about Islam, especially those that concern women and male chauvinism. Men and women are equal in Islam. However, the media portrays otherwise, and causes many people to think the wrong way about Islam. Consequently, many have become ignorant and hateful toward Islam just because they have decided to trust the media and believe everything it says.
The Qu'ran does not order families to have their daughters killed because she is a "disgrace" to the family. This is a disgusting distortion of the truth. If someone did something so much as to "disgrace" a family, then he or she will deal this justic with Allah, NOT with human beings.
Mistreating women is with no doubt a sin in Islam. Muslim men are not allowed to do whatever they please with their wives, as much of the west enjoys believing. There are strict guidelines of the male and female role in Islam, and since the media only depicts the male role, stretching it and making it look like the female role does not exist or is only for male satisfactory purposes, many people come to the conclusion that Muslim women are "oppressed". Over 70% of all converts to Islam, which is the fastest growing religion, are women..why would this be so high if Islam was so oppressive toward women? If Islam is such a male dominant, unequal religion, then how come the majority of converts are female?
Muslim wives, without question, have the right to divorce at any time, the right to own and operate a business, the right to own property, the right to inherit, gains the favor when it comes to child custody, must be treated with respect, care, and love by their husbands, and much more. She does not have to work. Men, on the other hand, are obliged to work and support for their families. Their wives do not have to make a single penny. If a wife so chooses to work, because it is not her duty to do so, she gets to keep every bit of money she makes. The husband, however, must still provide and care for the family.
Also, you are absolutely correct. NO WHERE in the Qu'ran does it say to committ suicide or kill innocent people (it actually specifically and clearly forbids these). These fake Muslims are using Islam as a mask to cover up their dirty work. What a shame that they are so destructive to the truly peaceful image of Islam.
Furthermore, being "martyred" for the sake of "72 Virgins" in Paradise is NOT a worthy cause for dying; if lust influenced the desire to kill, then surely Allah will not reward those who fight for this reason.

Shows how little common sense and intelligence these people have. It's wrong on so many levels. Don't have a body, but for some reason their spirit needs sex. Of course the spirit will have the same needs as the body. Doesn't this prove that the religion was written by some stupid lonely sheep/goat farmer?

I like to think of those virgins as looking like a cross between Barbara Bush, Rodney Dangerfield, and Hellboy. I like to imagine that, in anticipation of meeting with their heroic "martyrs," they've been cultivating an insatiable appetite for S&M.

I don't think houris are the spirits of deceased mortals. They're like angels. Who have sex with you.
