KAREN ARMSTRONG, RELIGIOUS HISTORIAN: It's important to say that none of the great world religions has been good for women, not a single one of them... ARMSTRONG: The Koran gives women rights of inheritance and divorce that Western women would not receive until the 19th century.

First of all, I can almost bet that this is just typical left-wing nonsense. Now, I don't know about divorce rights per se, but anyone w/ even a passing interest (say through geneaological research) in early (pre-19th century) American inheritance law knows, for instance, that the wife typically got as much as the oldest son.

Armstrong is a well known apologist for Islam.

I guess Aman-poor-research couldn’t reach Robert Spencer.
