It's the same way Christianity has been "rewritten" to suit a patriarchical society, and keep women down. I don't say that Christianity is right either, but any law or religion that discriminates against one gender is wrong in my book, and any time it's taken to the point of being reinforced as state law is doubly wrong.
I wonder what the muslim women would have to say about it? You're an outsider too you know. As a pure, basic human right this Sharia Law seems to me to be a denial of basic freedoms for women. Do you suggest that what the Nazis did was okay too? It was their law. Were they right to enforce it? Were those who protested and fought against it wrong? Like I said already, just because it's law doesn't make it right. I find it very hard to understand anyone supporting, condoning or making excuses for such a regime.

I may be an outsider but why don't you think for a second. Do you really think that Islam only around to keep women down and deny them of their basic freedoms? Why would so many women still be a part of that religion if it were true?
The lines from the Quran that people like to quote are generally taking out of context. I have a Quran and I know.
That Nazi example is just a bad one all around. You are attempting to take the ideology of a political party and say it's the same thing as a religion just based off of your moral compass.
