Muhammad started his career by marrying a rich, independent woman, then went on to create a religion and society that places women below men.
Muhammed inherited a
society that placed women below men. I can't think of any other religion or traditional society that didn't.
Consider those harmless Buddhists. The Buddha initially held off taking female students. He finally acquiesced to accept his mother. When he did, he predicted that Buddhism would die out earlier as a result of allowing nuns.
Buddhist nuns have more than double the amount of rules men have, and always less power in the hierarchy. Buddhism is inherently patriarchal. It's changing a bit today through the influence of westerners.
The same can't be said of Islam, but that's your problem with Islam, no? It has no Western control.
For a devout Eurocentric, this troubles you.
