Always keep in mind that:
Many people confuse culture with religion, many others do not know what their religious books are saying, and many others do not even care.
On Islam Newsroom I found this great research about women rights before and after Islam with comparison to original Judaism and Christianity doctrines.
This is really an important research to read especially for those who are not familiar with Islam or the Muslim community.
Note: Muslims are facing a defaming war. The only way to face it is the truth. But, how much are those leading this war willing to listen?
