"The funny thing is that when Mohammed married Khadija, a wealthy widow, he wanted to please her, so increased the rights of women." R5 #20

"increased the rights of women" but still subordinate to men.

"Islam is based on Judaism, but just with the addition of the right of women to be able to own property, inherit, testify, divorce, etc.
So it is odd how Moslems are criticized for being unequal to women." R5 #20

Malala Yousafzai won a Nobel Prize for surviving a gunshot wound to the head.

"When you read about women being stoned to death or burned at the stake, that is not Islam, because Islam allows only for quick and painless beheading." R5 #20
