This should be must reading for anybody who thinks creeping Sharia should be ignored: Islam has a very low opinion of women. Take for example these quotes from the holy Hadith text:
* Bukhari (48:826) Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: The Prophet said, "Isn't the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?" The women said, "Yes." He said, "This is because of the deficiency of a woman's mind."
* Tabari I:280 “’I must also make Eve (bad word), although I created her intelligent.’ Because Allah afflicted Eve, all of the women of this world menstruate and are (bad word).”)…happy, content…utterly incapable from intellectual weakness…never to give us trouble…
One may think that being an ancient text, Islam would have changed its view about women in the intervening years. NO WAY ! Here is a more modern example.
Apparently Abd Al-Majid Al-Zindani is not only a Muslim Cleric but he is also a biologist. Back in October he gave an interview on Yemen TV where he gave a scientific lecture proving that women can't talk and and remember at the same time. Below is a partial transcript and video of how modern Islam looks at women:

And the Song of Solomon is about how wonderful women are.
I had something important to say about this subject, but darn it, I can’t remember what I was going to say!!!! >:-(
/sarc
Better get used to it: Sharia law starts on January 20th, 2009!!
coincidentally, Islamic men can’t talk or remember until you attach electrodes to their balls...or so I’ve heard.
They've never had an argument with my woman.
Amen to that
Don’t get your point. Do you feel Song of Solomon is negative about women?
No, I mean at face value it is about the love between a man and a woman. You will be hard pressed to find truly negative views of women in the bible.
OK I got it. I had this uneasy feeling you were being ironic. You’re right, the Bible has some good images of women for the daughters to emulate and their beaus to honor (my daughter got a good one because of her serious faith).
Gee, my wife is good at talking and remembering what I said three years ago on the subject, so long as it advances the argument she is making—all at the same time. In fact, she’s very good at it. She must not be Muslim.
My first wife was very good at remembering things I never said or did. That starts to get old after a while. I have a very low threshold when it comes to liars.
Proverbs 31: the original superwoman lol
The heck they can't. In fact, they can talk for hours while remembering minute details. ....effortlessly.
