Inheritance, employment opportunities without social stigma, sexual discrimination/harassment laws, divorce rights and alimony, non-chauvinistic male centric world view/environment, personal freedom without dependence on a "wali"(guardian).
Islam's women's rights is relatively good in comparison to other religions, in addition to the time it came about.
...But modern western democracies have radically surpassed this for almost a century now. Not only Islam, but all pre-modern history.
Excellent I'm glad you brought these up.
The problem is that western ideal of 'freedom' or 'equality' has a problem in on itself. The limits set as to what is 'freedom' in western society are loose and 'equality' in terms of genders in the west is beyond reason and beyond reality.
Absolute equality is neither just or fair. Why? There's a few factors to consider.
Are men and women truly equal in every sense of the word? No we are not. Is a man or a woman more likely to be raped? Is a man or a woman likely more vulnerable to being assaulted or more prone to violence and have the inability to defend him or herself? Is a man or a woman capable of physically being stronger than the one or the other? Is a man able to give birth or carry a child in the womb or deliver a baby?
What the west deems as 'equality' is in the absolute. Such as in the US the divorce laws of 50:50 splits unless a prior writing is written out.
So in fact it is the west that is taking away the rights of men and women, imposing injustice on men and women, placing one or the other in vulnerable positions while Islam takes into account all these differences while the western value system does not.
Furthermore Islam defends the dignity and value of women, protects women while the west exposes them to vulnerability and exploitation.
Lastly Islam protects the family while the west is degrading the family.
Lets now take a look at your claims one by one and see what's actually happening.
InheritanceFirst of all, a will and inheritance is mandatory in Islam, unlike in the west where people are often left out of any kind of inheritance and the government or corporations or certain organizations can posess property if no will is left behind. In Islam it's set in stone so that no one is ever left out of what they inherit.
The way wealth is divided is with wisdom amongst the younger/elderly and the two genders. Men are the carriers of families and they carry the burden of working and providing. Islam emphasises on family values. Islam does not burden a woman to work. She can work if she wants to but she does not have to. The burden is upon a man. So when a woman inherits less than a man it is because although she was under the care of her wali and family, her husband will be the one responsible for providing for her and she has no responsibility to provide for herself what she inherits is thus just. A man on the other hand will have the burden and will also be accountable for taking care of his parents, while a woman also does not have this primary responsibility.
Thus God who created us takes into account what is just towards men and women as to not overburden one or the other while protecting the family which is the foundation of society.
divorce rights and alimonyAs I already mentioned, the idea of western 'equality'. Where is the justice in a man working his ass off his whole life, and some whore marries him for his money, gets children, divorces him and gets 50:50 while she didn't lift a finger in her life. This is injustice towards the man.
When a woman is married she is given a gift which is solely her own that can be anything or any amount and the purpose of it is to protect the women or it can be symbolic. The man cannot take it back.
A woman can divorce and there is no blame on her if she decides to, however Islam discourages divorce, but allows it. It discourages it as the first step is counselling and trying to determine what a problem is and try to hold the family together.
However if it is not reconcilable and divorce is the only option that is final.
Employment opportunitiesI'll start again with the 'absolute equality'. The oppression of women in the west led to extreme feminism which tried to make women absolute equals to men again. So if a "man can do it" "I can do it". So that includes shoveling roads, driving trucks, looking like a male bodybuilder on stage jacked with male hormones, anything goes. The reality however is, still like any society the burden of a woman bearing children, taking care of family and children still exists. So in reality it is the west that oppresses women by overburden responsibilites upon a woman.
In Islam a woman does not have to work as the responsibility falls purely upon a man to provide for his family. However if a woman wants to work or run her own business a man cannot TOUCH her earnings what so ever. Anything she contributes towards him or the family is considered charity as it is her own property and no one can touch it.
Can a woman do "ANY KIND" of job in Islam such as being a stripper 'if she wants to'. No but again this is where the looseness of western values falls short.
sexual discrimination/harassment lawsThe what? Please state what you are talking about because there is no 'sexual harassment laws'. If anything the only such laws would be for punishing men who sexually harass women. The protection of women in Islam is of great importance.
personal freedom without dependence on a "wali"(guardian). What "freedom". Define "freedom". Freedom to go out with men, date, sex? The whole point of a wali as you mention is a gaurdian. Someone to protect the woman when they can be exploited by asshole men just as is evident on most bodybuilding boards where guys post pix of girls they banged in one night stands.
Tell me please that you wouldn't be concerned for your own daughter? Yes in western society it is quit ethe norm for children to tell their parents F off, be disrespectful and do whatever the hell they want as society definetely encourages this and many other 'freedoms'. The point of the parents is to raise their children with etiquette, values, respect, a future. The point of the father protecting his daughter is just that.
If she wants to marry someone and there is no fault with the man and he is sound, but the father objects and the woman still wants to marry the wali can be overruled by a judge. The whole point is to ensure the safety and well being of a woman.
A mature woman who was divorced does not require a wali for example. A woman who does not have parents or uncles or whoever can seek a wali to represent her to investigate the man, find out how he is, etc...
So as you can see everything comes down to protection of women, protection of family and justice. So it's not lack of rights but in fact giving proper rights and not the so called 'freedoms' that the loose western values are slowly eroded by.
