Yep. And if any reform of Islam is going to happen, it will have to be started by women. Between polygamy and their “honor system”, which means that the honor of a man depends on the moral character of his family’s or clan’s womenfolk, women are walled in by Islam.

More power to them. The violent aspects of Islam can be curbed, but it will have to come from inside Islam, and I believe only Muslim women can effect that change.

Not possible. Read their book.

Kind of tough when you can't vote, drive, or even leave the house without permission from your owner.
