Islam needs an enlightenment movement, to switch the Koran from the unalterable word of god, to some allegorical stories, and metaphorical stories like the bible.
The Abraham religions have all gone through this. Judaism wanted to kill everyone for a while, then Christianity did too. We need some brave Muslim scholars to stand up and denounce this kind of behaviour, and these laws, but we'll just have to wait it out, I'm afraid.

i dont think you should purely pin the blame on Islam. E.g. Islam does allow equality and women are regarded as the jewels of the Earth. However some of these nations exaggerate their laws a bit too much, like no women being allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia - Islam does not permit that.
