Firstly, please leave little childish comment about "no brainier" to yourself, if you want to discuss something lets be reasonable, I could see this as nothing more then another Democratic style living rudeness, abundent in you way of life.....so lets not go there.....
No Brainier=Common Sense it is not a rudeness so no need to take it as one.
Yes, many things, like punishment for death if death, that is not different then your championof Democracy the USA, then why the double standards....
I am not addressing capital punishment however what is being punished.
There are many rights for minorities and they are fully protected, if that was not the case, then many living descendents of Coptic Christians and Jews, and others alike would not be alive today in the Middle East and elsewhere, they would have been long dead......Yes there are differences in the fact that they cannot take part in the Shariah processing and fatwa deliverence in order to maintain the status quo of the ultimate Statute being Shariah and no chance of foul play being used.
Restrictions then are in place. This is also obvious from many countries as well.
You may wish to use the "Jizya" which many critics of Islam like using, yes it is there however, unlike the Muslims, the Jizya is for non-Muslims and far less then the Zakat that Muslims have to pay also......so that is out of the window....
I never addressed the tax system that can vary and isn't really an issue. I personally like across the board income taxing on all classes the most viable which is in line with equality.
Women have rights in Islam and this thread does not have the time or space to go through it, but in short, they can work, educate and go out, however Islam does not allow pornography or females dressing in a way which would naturally attract the oppposite sex, as is human instinct, and cause or bring unwelcome behaviour towards her.
I do hear this a lot but in reality human rights organizations across the board make it quite clear how overall rights in the ME are far below that of other areas. This varies of course from country to country but looking at ones with prominent populations like Iran and SA. Going into detail would take time but Freedom House: Women has a report on all the countries that is a interesting read of each one concerning their women rights. You can see how some tried to make reforms and give women more rights where others (Iran have taken rights away)
Also its interesting that you say "dress in a way that brings unwelcome behavior" it seems to me the level of self control that is present in men in the ME is almost none existent then in other areas and i find it interesting that this is in turn not blamed(even legally) on the person committing the act but instead on whether the women was too attractive. I guess completely covering yourself in a black sheet would certainly solve this in a very backward/obtuse type of way and completely miss the root problem.
Every year, in the US approximately 132,000 women report that they have been victims of rape or attempted rape, and more than half of them knew their attackers. It's estimated that two to six times that many women are raped, but do not report it. Every year 1.2 million women are forcibly raped by their current or former male partners, some more than once.
Rape is illegal and holds with it heavy sentencing and the U.S. population is like 310 million people. Are you saying women not covering themselves in turn produces rapists so its their fault sorry don't follow you on that ? Being a animal is all down to choice and trying to blame it on someone else just shows how much of a lowlife that person is.
This is what the Democratic system also brings with it......
Along with
Each year 100,000 women seek treatment in London for violent injuries caused in their homes in 1989
Quite a few women were raped just whilst I was writing this on this forum........
MORE TO COME
Domestic violence is extremely prominent in the ME and even viewed in many circles as normal so this point holds no value. Honor killings are also a form of domestic violence in the ME and the families that carry them out are always ones who are religious conservatives.
