Women as Property
I had meant to link this post last week: Stacy
discusses the extreme misogyny in much of Islamic culture (while showing off her rather impressive arms).
I would assert that there are strains of Islam that are not any more oppressive to women than, say, Orthodox Judaism (in fact, the restrictions are similar: covering the head and so forth). But certainly our enemies, the Islamo-fascists or Islamists (versus ordinary Muslims), view women as slaves. A woman in my country in the nineteenth century was far better off than most women in many Muslim countries.
I don't happen to be against Islam, but I am dead-set against Islamo-fascism, and I don't care for those who believe slavery is A-OK as long as it's "part of your culture."

When the islamofascists took over Fallujah for a time, they seized all the women and distributed them out to their insurgent fighters as "wives". The women themselves were not consulted for their opinion on whom to be paired (or tripled or quadrupled) with.
In Europe any of the cities there with a high concentration of middle eastern immigrants will try their damnedest to hide and obfuscate the sharp increase of rape statistics that correlate with the influx, for fear of insulting "Islam" with ...the truth.
They've tended to be far more well-behaved in the U.S., partly because a lot of the ones who migrate here are doing so to get AWAY from islamofascist lifestyles, while the ones who go to Europe tend to be the ones carrying out a fattwa commanding "conquest through immigration" of the European continent. (The islamofascist goal for the U.S. is annihilation rather than conquest...)

Quote from an Egyptian former co-worker, shortly after 9/11 (when we were talking about terrorists, etc.): "If I could live in a community that was really setup the way Mohammed intended, in all ways, without any of the terrorists being in charge and messing with us like if we went to prayer or not that day, people with power issues like that, I'd do so in a heartbeat. But right now the only way to Shariah is through the terrorist bastards, so, screw the Shariah. I'll live like an American instead." (This just before taking a long swig of alcohol and a big bite of barbecued pork LOL.)

He gave me a lot of insights on "what's really up" in the world of Islam: the good, the bad, and the very ugly. Good news is, they're human beings just like us. Bad news is, they're human beings just like us, LOL.
