Islam feminists urge gender jihad
Organisers of the first international congress on Islamic feminism are calling for a "gender jihad."
Organiser Abdennur Prado Pavon says the struggle for gender equality in Islamic countries involves refuting chauvinist interpretations of Muslim teachings.
The congress is in Spain, organisers say, because they want their message to reach the growing number of Muslim women in Europe.
Islamic Feminism argues that the inferior legal and social status of women in Muslim countries is a result of misogynistic distortions of the teachings in the Koran.

Well thats the problem with Religion, (some more than others) as they seem to view females as inferior. Which is wrong actually very very wrong. Everyone on this planet reguardless of gender, race or sexual orientation for the matter is equal and it is time some of these archiac religions become more equal and in tune with the times.
