I'm not sure if you're still around the board. This is a great description of Islam, very similar to what I learned in a World Religions class. I'm curious though, could you go into more detail about this statement

Women’s rights were safeguarded 1,400 years ago when the rest of the world was in total darkness about emancipation.
I'm curious what rights those are and how they are specifically safeguarded? I'm also curious if you believe that under some Muslim political regimes these rights are being violated. I do not mean to offend, just want to learn more. On the surface if seems such a peaceful religion, but in practice I'm not sure.
