If you want to know about Muslim women's rights, ask Muslim women | Susan Carland

Islam
Evil is Evil, I don't care what religion, what dogma, what sex, what race it takes. In the 70's Women had as many rights as men in Afghanistan, now they fear for their lives because of the Muslim religion. Many have known no other life. I would say any that say they love that life are suffering stockhome syndrome, and need to be shown they have value as a Human and that there is a better world and way.
And just to hammer this home.

Afghanistan women’s pleas to US: ‘Do not forget we are here’
There is now deep concern that, if the U.S. leaves, whatever good that $2 billion America spent empowering women could not only be flushed away, but the situation could get even worse than it was pre-U.S. occupation.
I see the same thing in this country in mostly Christian communities. The women are oppressed by their husbands and fathers. Not to the same extant, to be sure, because of laws in this country that prevent it from getting that bad, but it is happening.
My friend said he worked with an Afghan man who was shot and killed shoveling snow off his rooftop because his neighbor thought he went up there to look at his daughter.

What would be really informative would be to ask women who live in fundamental Islamist countries what they want. (I suspect that high on their list of things they would want is to not be beheaded or raped or beaten.) Fortunately, we already know some of the answers. For example, after Iraq and Afghanistan were liberated, the number of girls who started going to school increased by a huge amount -- from that, we can reliably surmise that Muslim women want to be educated. And from THAT, we can reliably surmise that Muslim women would want to take advantage of the opportunities that an education can provide, like for example getting a job.
They might not want to quit wearing a hijab, but I'm sure they would appreciate having the choice.
