[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not really why people bring up the conditions of women in Saudi Arabia as an example of a "Muslim Country", Saudi Arabia is a [b]Monarchy[/b]. It is not the whole of the Islamic World. 
Since you love links here is one for you:

and here is a post about women's rights in Ancient Persia, they did enjoy far more rights than they do today. 
Somehow men have once again twisted a religion to subjugate women as America did.

The link about Persia is interesting, and I say that as a history buff. But those were Zorastrians.

For the record, the starting point for these last 7 pages was Muslima's claim (page 23 of this thread) that [b]Islam granted voting rights to women 1400 years, ago, way before the West did. [/b]

We did bring up lots of Muslim countries (page 26 of this thread) but Muslima chose to ignore them and to focus on the narrow KSA point.

If you're interested, here's the link from page 26 of this thread, showing women's voting rights in Muslim countries: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_first_w...e_in_majority-Muslim_countries . The link below shows Turkey, under pro-western Attaturk, was the first non-Communist, majority Muslim country to grant voting rights to women in 1930. In 1945, Senegal and Indonesia (both still colonies at the time) became the 2nd and 3rd non-Communist, Muslim-majority states to grant voting rights to women. So, all are later than the US which granted women's voting rights in 1920.
