The Baptist religion is Christian, and I don't believe ANY Christian religion demands females be treated as Islam does.

The Southern Baptist Convention demands a woman do exactly as her husband says.

You simply don't know what you're talking about. There is no such command in the Bible and certainly no such demand was ever given by the Southern Baptist Convention.

If this is true and you have some proof, give us a link.

Do as they say--or WHAT?
Islam is VERY specific about WHAT to do with women. A few throwback Baptists who might interpret what the Bible says about women deferring to their husbands( and the part people tend to forget is that husbands are to honor their wives) are FAR different from the all-encompassing Sharia laws.
NO Baptist preachers are demanding a man kill his own daughters for talking to strangers , or approving that he kill his wife if he even THINKS she is unfaithful to him. If any did such a thing they would be considered as CRIMINAL as those who would obey them.
Brutality toward women is part of the foundation of Islam.
If you dont see the difference between a few people who interpret a single quote from the Bible to mean that women are subservient to men, and an entire 'religion' and culture that DEMANDS their slavery from birth to death- or execution, then you have a serious perception problem.
That inability to differentiate is part of the reason Islam is gaining power. Comparing it to far lesser evils makes it seem less threatening, doesn't it?

As a Southern Baptist, this news to me.
