    Islam, like every religion out there, is what whoever interprets it to be. If some asshole wants to interpret Islam to use women as sex slaves, then so be it. If another one interprets it to allow women to be equals, so be it.

    So what happens? Assholes use religion to easily steer large groups of citizens to do their bidding. A tale as old as humanity

      Sadly true. Christians have interpreted their faith to allow slavery, wars, and genocide. Generally the loudest that claim they follow a faith are the ones that least understand it.
