It is more sexist and denies many more rights. I know you're trying to be diplomatic and everything, but it's just not comparable - Islam's in its own league.

It really makes me angry that you can sit there, be all smug, and say 'I don't see it' when all it takes is the smallest amount of effort and inclination to look it up. If you didn't enter into every argument with an agenda to play the devil's advocate and do your best to 'win' every argument through adolescent methods, then it's wouldn't piss me off so much. It's because I know you're just doing this to fuck me around, that I'm so annoyed.
That said, Islam's judicial system, Sharia law, absoultely tramples over any rights that would've been afforded to women (in the UDHR, if most Muslims countries bothered to participate in it).
Read this, if you aren't too lazy/are actually genuinely keen to learn and be a part of this discussion. Read that, and tell me again, that you still can't possibly see that the Islamic code of law, Sharia, doesn't deny women rights.
