Why are there many differences between how Islamic Countries treat their female citizens?

Answer 1

It is not the case. Women are treated in Islam with kindness, equality, and assured all her human rights. While Women in Europe got their human rights just last century, Islam since the 7th century assured women rights in free choice, property, having her own business and properties, education, and other rights. Refer to question below.

Answer 2

It entirely depends on the country. In places like Morocco, while there are differences between expectations of what a woman should do and what a man should do, a woman has all of the rights that a man has. As concerns countries that are more conservative like Saudi Arabia, women have few rights that men have and are denied the ability to drive cars or show their faces in public (should they wish). The reason for this difference in treatment is that unlike Europe, the Islamic World never went through a Reformation or other Religious Traumas that would weaken the central faith and allow for individuals to seek rights from a non-religious state. Currently, in the midst of Arab Spring, many countries are becoming more conservative in the short term, but in the long term, freedom at the ballot may result in additional freedoms for the citizens.
