Whenever the issue of women's rights in Islam comes up I love to point to Submission by Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
Now, you go and give all these examples of other people treating women badly, but we can throw that away. Saying another group treats women badly as defense against your religion treating women badly is a poor defense and doesn't get you anywhere.
Lastly, Lukec pointed out some of the wonderful examples in which women are most certainly NOT treated as equals. Want some more? We've got some here too
