practice vs principle

Whatever the opinion of muslims, the fact remains that women in Muhammedian cultures, if one can call them that, suffer practical enslavement, sexual abuse,psychologica,l and in many cases imprisonment terrorism. The women of Iran, Saudi, Afganistan, ad nauseum are property. When one hears of "Multiple wives, if they are treated fairly"..the credibility is zero. The canon of Muhammedism clearly places women in a perpetual position of inferority. Obviously, Muslim males will always defend the enslavement of women, because the founder justifies it.
