Most Muslims is again awfully broad and hard to back up. Then again so is the definition of treatment of women since its arguable if society as a whole is truly equal when it comes to sexism.
You have to distinguish between members of a faith. You cannot label 1.6 billion people based on the actions of a minority who attract a disproportionate amount of attention. There are Christians in America who famously protest the funerals of solders, or children or pretty much anyone else. The fact they're Christian does matter as it's from their faith they have found such hatred. However that doesn't impact at all on all the other Christians. They're in no way responsible for their actions and we can learn nothing about all these peoples' character from those protesters. Also there has only recently been the scandal of Child Abuse in the Catholic Church! Yet most rational people wouldn't use it to claim that it is representative of 'most Christians.
