You (apparently) choose to interpret your scriptures moderately and that is a good thing BUT you have to realize that in order to do so (just like Christians who do the same) you are viewing them through rose-tinted spectacles!
As the Meerkat says, "Simples!" (I love that meerkat)!
I agree with you that scriptures can be interpreted in many ways but the interpretation only differs when people put their own ideas and desires behind it to justify their own purpose. Or sometimes they just make mistakes. The interpretation posted above tries to be just to the Muslims man and women.
To comment on the video, it tries to point out that Islam is against women and that Muslims are bad people (this is common in the media). So let me give you a few points to think about.
1) Islam is the fastest growing religion in the Western world (America, UK, and Europe) whereby 2/3 of these people becoming Muslim are Women? So, why would a so called liberated western Woman would want to become a Muslim and subjugate herself?
2) I agree with the lady in the video that there should be more Muslims standing up and speaking out against extremist and Terrorist Muslims but who controls the media? When an bad Muslim does something wrong (against the Islamic principles) it is given headline in the news, but when there's a positive action of Muslims then no one ever hears about it. Why?
