Asma Begum, look at yourself !

Look at how the Muslim world looks. Look at the backwardness; look at the poverty, a poverty which is more spiritual than anything else. You can be a "rich" sheik and still be poor, because you have no human values. And your vast populations of hungry and poverty stricken people are victims of the backwardness of their "elites", who are like yourself: primitive and barbarian.

In theory you can of course evolve and rise to acceptable human standards. But this will not happen before you realize that God created Woman as your equal partner who is entitled to love and RESPECT as any other human creature.
