You talk about modesty of Muslim women and what happens to the modesty of women when they have to share their husbands, when they are treated like vermin if their husbands die. It's legal right as is it a means to promote that modesty. Don't be blind to the faults of your culture Ibrahim, pointing towards the things you don't even know about. You talk about inheritence from Romans and Kalyug... Do you know where from the Islam was created? Do you have the guts to talk to a Mullah saying that Muslim women are actually ill treated and they deserve a better deal. Unless you people don't evolve, any civilised society will have a conflict with you people. Pardah is something many asian cultures follow but why is Islam targetted because Muslim women are forced and ill treated. Don't just bark on others just check out the criticism and if you can change try to change first.
