point of clarification...

Greetings, the difference is that non Muslims men may be as cruel and insensitive as Muslim men. That is because many men are "Jerks" in the parlance of modern women. Muslim men may have several wives, divorce them without regard for their welfare, beat them if they wish, deny them their equal share of inheritance, deny them justice, all because Muhammed said its ok to treat women as property.

While many religious belief systems regard women as such, they have reformed their dogmas to eliminate this unfair and, in the US illegal, behavior toward women. Non Muslim women who marry Muslim men have a greater risk to their well being, because the Muslim man is acting within his religion.
