There is nothing wrong with people. There are dicks in every country and religion. I own a shop in Muslim majority population area in my city and they are lovely people.
The problem is the religion itself. It oppress women and gives them no right. Palestine is not bad compared to Iraq or Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia. Women in those countries have no rights and get treated like cattle. I am sure your girlfriend is lovely and loving the fact that she is in US and gets treated with respect. That's how everyone should be treated but unfortunately they don't.
"The problem is the religion itself. It oppress women and gives them no right. "
The problem is with the ignorance of religious fanatics (Muslims in this case).
Islam as a religion never oppressed women rather gave them respect, power and even authority to rule a country. Female children were killed and women were kept as slaves in pre-Islamic era especially the Ayame jaheliat era (age of darkness). Mohammed (PBUH) changed such conditions and advocated for female education, right in wealth, and many more. The true essence of Islam is peace and equity. It is said to respect every other religion and never to cross the boundary if a non-Muslim declined the offer to be a Muslim. Islam is truly a nice religion if one manage to grasp the actual teachings.

The idea that islam changed women conditions,it's just islamic propaganda. Even the first wife of Mohammed who was a business boss proves that women could be in power before islam. Islam says that a woman is below his husband and must to obey him and he can hit him if she disobey, islam gives a man right to 4 wifes (but not a woman right to 4 husbands), islam gives women half the hereditary of a man, islamic fanatics use hadiths to says a woman cannot rule a nation because Mohammed said a nation ruled by woman will fail. Mohammed had 10 wifes, he married a kid, he married his son ex-wife , he had sexual slaves.
It's not the religon. It's the rulers with those religions. Muhammad deeply respected his wife and all women. Sure he had like 6wives, but King Henry the 8th had 6 or 5 as well. It's the rulers. If jesus was given control of the entire roman empire, his first goal would probably be to spread it to the nearby neighbors either by trade or force.
In Tunisia Women had equal Rights since the early 1960s
And its a Muslim populated country and the only true democratic and liberal country out there
Algeria and Morroco and Lebanon and many other arab countries also have many equal rights as well (although not as much as Tunisia)
Nah not really. I lived in India for a long time. I have friends/family in Pakistan. And these are probably the best countries for Muslim women but still they get treated like third class citizens. Just go to YouTube and watch a video of a market in Iran in 2020 or an outdoor restaurant, count on your one hand how many female faces you see in that video. The more Muslim a country is, the less rights a woman has.
Anyone replying to me saying I am manipulated by media need to really be honest with themselves.
It's not the religon. It's the rulers. Muhammad deeply respected women. The rulers who had control of the muslim people after him didn't have that respect. Although eventually changed the rules to fit what they believed was correct.
Not true, in Afghanistan women are officially equal in the constitution. In Iraq it's become a mess since they were invaded in 2003 so that wasn't their fault.
