Why is the Muslim religion a "religion of peace"?

Up until about 100-150 years ago, women in Muslim cultures were treated better by the law, were afforded more freedoms, and were on much more equal footing with their male counterparts than any women in western societies. It is interesting that after the west really started to meddle hard core in the region that they started to regress in this way and become more conservative.

It's nationalism just as we saw in Europe. The difference is that Europeans were allowed to create their own borders that respected ethnicities. These Middle Eastern areas, though, had groups forced together. When religion is the only thing you have in common, it is going to be the driving force of your nationalism.
