That "gender-repressive religion" gave women equal rights 1400 years ago when the rest of the world was treating them like slaves. Just because most "islamic" countries are not implementing the teachings of the religion does not mean that the religion itself is gender-repressive.
My apologies. Allow me to correct, anonymous (and cowardly) guest: the way the religion is practiced by most modern countries is gender repressive. Howzat work for you?
