Dear nassif,
Thanks for your curiosity. Though I am not a master in the subject I am trying to answer you and I will be happy if my answer becomes helpful to you.
First of all, God is one. Since God is one, it is logical that, God will not send several religions for human. From Adam to Muhammad(pbuh), God sent innumerous teachers(or prophets) to teach human the religion that God fixed for human. All prophets(or teachers) taught human the same religion. But, God has given human a capacity to deviate from the true teaching(religion fixed by God). Nothing other than human(matter, energy, time, plant, animal, fish, bird, reptile etc.) has given the capacity to deviate from their assigned religion. For that reason, human will be faced afterlife judgement.
Religion fixed by God for human is a set of rules/regulations, on macro basis, how they will lead their lives on earth. Now I come to your questions:

1. It is a very very vast question and to describe in detais it will need several big volume books. But in brief.........
society: God asked human to live in society and to keep themselves united in the society. There must be a leader(Government) in the society who will be elected/selected by the people. Once the leader is elected/selected it is compulsory to obey the leader. For the leader, it is told that, he will lead and rule the society as per directions given by God and the Prophet.
Economics: Usury is prohibited. Any kind of cheating is prohibited in business. Nobody can accumulate wealth if there are needy people around him. However, 2.50% wealth tax(in arabic Jakat) is compulsory. People should not keep their wealth idle. Should not expend unnecessarily and should not be miserly.
Politics: People will live in society and they will elect/select their leader. Once the leader is elected/selected it is compulsory to obey the leader. For the leader, it is told that, he will lead and rule the society as per directions given by God and the Prophet.

2. Jihad: Jihad is the war between Islamic state and non-Islamic state. Jihad is not for individual level. However, an Islamic state can not start Jihad(war) against a non-Islamic state without valid reason or if not been attacked. Whenever Jihad starts, it is compulsory for adult Muslim males to join the army. He can not refuse.

3. Men and women are generally of the same status. There are some exceptions due to biological differences:
(a) In a family, men are given the responsibility to bear all expenses required. Women have no responsibility in this respect. Husbands can not claim their wives' earnings or wealth except if wives expend for the family willingly.
(b) Family is a group of people living together with a set objectives. So, there must be a leader in the family. Husband is given the charge of leadership in the family.

It would be wise, indeed, for the questioner to read The Holy Qur'an, thoroughly, and then the questions could be stated with additional clarity. There are inconsistencies within all three questions.

1. All the guidelines for social, economic, and political issues are contained and detailed within The Holy Qur'an!
2. A jihad is a humans internal struggle not an external war between humans, nations, or ideologies!
3. Men and women are equal within the Heart of Allah (God)!

"May the Peace and Blessings of God be always with you."
Ameen and Amen,

The Koran gives the basic requirements for life as we know it.
The God of this system is Satan.
The Unbelievers of God's provisions are the real losers,
women are a part of God's plan and are to be in subjection to men, YET, we should love them as we love ourselves..Every good gift and every perfect present is from above, for it comes down from the Father of the celestial lights, and with him there is not a variation of the turning of the shadow. The God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite.

1. The Iman is your leader until Muhomad comes back.

2. Jihad means "holywar", unbelievers are infidels and all of us are to either convert or die. There is no inbetween. And for Jews, they cannot convert, they must die.

3. Women have NO rights. They cannot show any part of their body in public, which is why they wear the burka that covers the whole body. They cannot go anywhere alone, they must be accompanied by either their husband, brother, or father. She may not choose who she marries. She is not allowed to get a divorce, but her husband may say that they are divorced and it is so, and no, she may not have custody of the children. If she is very ill, only the husband can decide if she is allowed medical attention. She is not allowed to be alone with any man other than her husband, which is why she cannot go to school.

Do I really need to go on? Islam is NOT a religion of peace. It is just the opposite.

Allah is not the same god that we worship. Allah is a cresent moon and star god. Our God is the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. The only true God.

You need to watch a program called "Spiritual Warfare" on TCT. I know that TimeWarner Cable doesn't have it, but DirectTV has it on channel 377 in my area. It's run by Rabbi Moshe Laurie, he's teaching on Islam right now. You need to watch to learn the truth.

You can also take a look at the web address I put below. Listen to what is being said. It isn't good.

God Bless,
