You are thoroughly mistaken. Women are respected in Islamic Countries better than in India. A middle aged woman, either with full make-up or without make up, with full jewellery, with any shabbily dressed can walk safely even in mid-night in some Islamic Countries like Dubai / Bahrain, etc. whereas it is not possible in India. Gang rapes / chain snatching / kidney robbing all these are commin in India - Do you blame the country for this, religion for this, educational standard for this, security or the politicians - who is to blame. It is the PEOPLE, PEOPLE. Hence, do not criticise or blame any religion for such things. IN FACT, THE ISLAMIC COUNTRIES ARE HAVING BETTER STANDARD OF LIFE, BETTER SECURITY FOR PEOPLE, MORE RESPECT FOR WOMEN, ETC. VISIT TO DUBAI AND EXPERIENCE IT.
