Lets not go overboard here. Islam is not a woman-friendly religion at it's core. Admittedly, for the time it was invented (and I use invented from my own view point), it improved womens rights when comparing it to Judaism and Christianity.
But you are incorrect, that Islam is religion that treats the sexes as equals. You should read some Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who is both a woman, and an apostate, and now has to live in fear for her life.
