"The basic laws in Islam that protect women and set good foundations for everyman and woman to achieve happiness socially and individually. "

so that's why in more than 50 countries where islam rule the women are treated like second class citizens?

Verify facts. Please state country and where you found those statistics... Still, that's a bit strange cause even wiki states that "Muslims are the majority in 52 nations", and not every one of those nations are ruled by Islam and a lot of them are secularists where as the other lot are of islamic majority but only in the 60th percentage hence not ruled by Islam. Here's where you can find it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_world. Quite simple. You really shouldn't fabricate facts.

While I can presume there are millions of muslims wanting to enjoy the freedom of the west (again, laughable! You really do presume yourself so highly!), I see no western women wanting to go to some islamic paradise. Perhaps you could tell that to Victoria and David Beckham, they just bought a villa in Dubai, It's the Palm Island Villa's. But that's just celebrities. Perhaps you should check out the sensus of Dubai's foreigners/ immigration, they had to ban some westerners and asians from coming in cause their current population index just couldn't take it anymore, in literal (so you don't confuse yourself again) they had too many of them (foreigners outweigh dubai's original citizens). Plus it's quite nice being a woman in Dubai, you get first place for everything, your queue is always before the men and even a wolf whistle is never heard since the police are very vigilant when it comes to sexual harrassment in any form no matter how low, plus i guess the people there just don't care for debase things like that. but you don't know things like that do you? You only know Islam from the media. I'm sorry I forgot about that.
