Let's quickly examine the rights women have in Islam, and the status of women in Islam generally, shall we?
A lesser share (half the share) in inheritance compared to their male counterparts. Quran 4:11
Women's liability to be divorced and inability to divorce. Man has the right to dissolve the marriage by simply announcing to his wife that he repudiates her without obtaining court approval or providing a justification but woman can only divorce thru a procedure called Khul
Women's liability to be divorced irrevocably. Quran 2:230
Men are given the right to restore marriage if they're willing to reconcile, but women don't have such rights. Quran 2:228
Women have to observe a waiting period after divorce, called Iddah, during which she may not marry another man. Men can marry another woman during this period and during any other such emotionally challenging time for the woman like during her pregnancy.
It's lawful for men to have four wives, but for a woman to have only one husband. Quran 4:3
Men can own concubines and slaves but women can't. (I'm not condonin slavery but alluding to the injustice even in morally reprehensible situations) Quran 23:6. Quran 4:3
Mohamed himself owned several sex slaves. Rayhana bint Zayd ibn Amr, Mariyah bint Shamoon al-Quptiya (who bore him a son, Ibrahim), to name some.
Two women's testimony is equal to one man's. Quran 2:282
Countries where a woman's testimony is worth half of that of a man's.
OIC countries where women's testimony is known to be equal to a man's in all cases.
Women are more forgetful by nature compared to men.
The reason for two women's testimony being set against the testimony of one man according to Hadith: Women are deficient in intelligence compared to men. Sahih bukhari 1:6:30. Sahih bukhari 3:48:826.
Women are disqualified for rulership and judgeship. Sahih bukhari 9:88:219
Women make majority of hell's population. Sahih bukhari 4:54:464
Why do Women make the majority of hell's population? Because they curse frequently and are ungrateful to their husbands. Sahih bukhari 1:6:301
Men can marry Non-Muslims (people of the book), but women can't marry non-Muslims. Quran 5:5
Women are affliction (fitnah) harmful to men according to Mohamed. Sahih bukhari 7:62:33
The things which annul prayer are a dog, a donkey and a woman according to Mohamed. Sahih bukhari 1:9:493
Women are commanded to cover themselves to prove their piety and modesty while men don't need to. Quran 24:31 Quran 33:59
According to Muhammad, when having sex with (i.e. raping) a captive, it's better if you do not pull out the penis at the end. Sahih bukhari 3:34:432
Quran tells men to beat disobedient wives in order to discipline them. Quran prescribes no measures a woman can take against a disobedient husband. Quran 4:34
One of the perks of getting into heaven for men is virgin houris while Quran mentions no such male companions for women in heaven. Quran 56:35-38. Quran 55:56
According to Mohamed, the woman advances and retires in the shape of a devil so when you see one, you should come to your wife and have sexual intercourse with her. Sahih Muslim 1403 a
Quran disapproves of pagans who name their angels with female names. Quran 53:27
Quran commands Mohamed's wives to stay quietly in the house and establish regular prayer. Quran 33:32-33:33
According to Mohamed, if the wife refuses sexual intercourse with husband, angels will curse her till morning. Sahih bukhari 3237
Women can not travel except with a Mahram. Sahih Bukhari 3:29:85
Quran says man is incapable of impartiality, yet allows him to have multiple wives. Quran 4:129
It Is not permissible for a woman to get married without the permission of her walee (Guardian).
A man could take his wife when he wanted and how he wanted.
It is quite clear from verses in Quran and authentic sayings and traditions of Mohamed that Islam is inherently misogynistic and enslaves women. Apologetics will point out that Mohamed abolished burying daughters alive and gave women the right to inheritance.
This is compared to the standards of pre-Islamic Arabs, which is not enough for guaranteeing equal rights to women by any of the modern standards. Quran almost invariably talks to men, how they are incharge of the women, pleasures they would attain in heaven,
how to discipline women, etc. Even Surah an Nisa, the chapter of women, almost always addresses men. A true god can't simply inflict such huge injustice on half the population of the world.
