No!

On the contrary, 1400 years ago Islam liberated women. At that time Europe, Christian scholars were debating whether women had souls, if yes then did they have animal soul or human soul? Until recently women were stripped of their last name to illustrate that they were the property of their husbands. As for Islam, women are equal to men in all acts of piety, they keep their last name, they are allowed to keep their own money, choose who they want to marry, have right to divorce, have the right to inheritance and have the right to protected and maintained by their husbands. They have been dignified and exonerated by the Hijab(islamic covering) In the west, womens are portrayed as sex objects to be used and discarded. We see them being used to sell cars, alcohol and even bubble gums. In Islam, women have been elevated to be stature that surpasses the role palced upon them by any religion or culture. Women are not to be abused or oppressed but they are to be respected and cared of. As a result. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world amongst the women.
