A thought on Islam

As a very fast growing religion in Europe I wonder if women are happy with the following:
+Women are considered worth less than men
+Women have to cover their hair as it's provocative
+Women must cover themselves when in public
+Women cannot vote
+It's ok for men to beat their wife
+A man can take 3 wives
+A man can divorce his wife by saying 'I divorce you' 3 times
+Women are segregated from other men even if with non-close relatives
+Music is not allowed
+Humour against Islam is not allowed
+A husband can drop his wife and cast her out
+Woman in some countries cannot work or can only work in certain areas like hospitals
+Prayers 5 times a day with the first about 5.30am depending where you live

All of this I have experienced living and working in the Middle East for 15 years.
