Before people start wondering why the “burn their eye balls” let me just show you the other type of information you can get out there about women in Islam.Here is a seriously offensive one. Just the table of content should give you an idea: but I urge you to go and read at least parts of it.

Here are some parts of it:
1. WOMEN ARE DEFICIENT IN INTELLIGENCE AND RELIGION
The intellectual and religious deficiencies of women are stated in the following Hadith found in Sahih al-Bukhari which is considered by Muslim scholars to be "The most authentic book after the Book of Allah (ie. the Qur'an)":[13]
THE WOMAN IS A TOY
The previously mentioned deficiencies show the woman's inadequacy as a companion for man. Her deficiency in intelligence and religion prevent her from exchanging secular or sacred ideas or participating in religious or related spheres. To what level do these deficiencies reduce the woman?
"'Omar [one of the Khalifs] was once talking when his wife interjected, so he said to her: 'You are a toy, if you are needed we will call you.'"[21]
And 'Amru Bin al-'Aas, also a Khalif, said: "Women are toys, so choose."[22]
This was not just 'Amru Bin al-'Aas and 'Omar's opinions. Mohammad himself said:
'The woman is a toy, whoever takes her let him care for her (or do not lose her)."[23]
The belief that a woman is a toy is of vital importance for the spiritual well being of a man. For according to the great philosopher Ghazali
"In the company of women, looking at them, and playing with them, the soul is refreshed, the heart is rested, and the man is strengthened to the worship of God...this is why God said: 'That he might rest in her.' (Q. 7:189)"[24]
