If you really want to discuss gender inequality in Islamic nations then you may feel free to do so in a new thread, but this is way off-topic.

The problem is in fact the narrow scope for discussion of the thread, which can't be blamed on the creator since this thread was not created under conventional circumstances and the creator most likely did not expect this topic/thread to be such a popular discussion. In other words I think it is fine for us to ignore the threads title and simply focus on whether Islam is a problematic and discriminatory religion (In general terms, the phraseology of this sentence is too questionable and unspecific to be acceptable but the general meaning should be clear enough). Luckily we all seem to be doing that already.

If you are going to try backseat moderating please at least have the common decency to do it properly.
