The religion of Peace does not treat its females "peacefully". Remember that women who was gang-raped in Saudi Arabia and sentenced to 200 lashes because she was alone in a car with men? Women's rights are described in a section in the Koran, sura 4:34, that has been interpreted to say that men have "pre-eminence" over women or that they are "overseers" of women. The verse goes on to say that the husband of an insubordinate wife should first admonish her, then leave her to sleep alone and finally beat her.

Each year hundreds of Muslim women die in "honor killings"-- murders by husbands or male relatives of women suspected of disobedience, usually a supposed sexual indiscretion or marriage against the family's wishes.

And it all stems from that one verse that explains that Allah and Muhammad say its OK to beat women:

Is that why they marry multiple wives?

Beat all you want, you’ll marry more.

Why would any woman in her right mind join or stay in this awful cult/religion? Go join the Mormon Polygamists in Texas if you wish to be ill treated. At least there you get to wear some snappy clothes and not hide behind a veil.
