Islam: Is the Religion anti woman? A very good discussion by a Religious Scholar, informative

“But, again, this is the problem, is that you make these facile arguments that women are somehow mistreated in the Muslim world — well, that’s certainly true in many Muslim-majority countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia. Do you know that Muslims have elected seven women as their heads of state in those Muslim-majority countries? How many women do we have as states in the United States?”

Well everyone knows that the United States is a rather misogynist nation. That’s not exactly news to anyone who is paying even casual attention.
Aslan also pointed out that there are countries that are predominantly Muslim that respect women. Aslan concluded:

“I mean, again, this is the problem is that you’re talking about a religion of 1.5 billion people, and certainly it becomes very easy to just simply paint them all with a single brush by saying, well, in Saudi Arabia, they can’t drive and so therefore that is somehow representative of Islam. It’s representative of Saudi Arabia.”

Aslan does make a good point there. Tarring that many people with one brush based on one defining characteristic such as religion is never a good thing.
