Please, Qatar has the highest average salary in the world, with an average salary of around $80,000. Id say the majority of them dont travel on camels and goats as you suggest.

Although shariah is oppressive it is not nearly as widespread as suggested by ele, it is prevalent in middle eastern LEDCs almost exclusively.

Meanwhile there are far more oppressive things not linked to the muslim religion, do I need mention the world wars?

Also, the qur'an cannot be pointed out for sexism without other religions being mentioned as well:

-Christianity:
Corinthians 11: 3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman [is] the man; and the head of Christ [is] God.

Corinthians 14: 34 - 35 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but [they are commanded] to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

-Judaism
Genesis 19:8 A man named Lot offers his daughters to a crowd of would be angel rapers. Later, Lot impregnates his own daughters after God kills his wife for simply looking back at the remains of her city.

Exodus 21: 3-4 Says that if a male slave is given a wife by his master (regardless of how long they are wed, how much they love each other or if they have kids) he can not leave servanthood with his wife or children. The woman and children are merely property of the master and their personal happiness or sanctity of family doesnt matter.

Exodus 21:7 God not only sanctions selling ones daughter into slavery, but he also gives out laws on how it should be done.

-Hindu
No sacrifice, no vow, no fast must be performed by women apart (from their husbands); if a wife obeys her husband, she will for that (reason alone) be exalted in heaven.

Though destitute of virtue, or seeking pleasure (elsewhere), or devoid of good qualities, (yet) a husband must be constantly worshipped as a god by a faithful wife.

At her pleasure let her emaciate her body by (living on) pure flowers, roots, and fruit; but she must never even mention the name of another man after her husband has died.

In childhood a female must be subject to her father, in youth to her husband, when her lord is dead to her sons; a woman must never be independent.



Please stop calling Islam an oppressive and sexist religion, as although it is true that there is sexism and oppression in Islam there is easily as much in other religions and society as a whole.
