Islam IS justifying religious beliefs to oppress women

The claim by the main speaker (name?) that the Islamic religion is not responsible for how Muslim women are treated is absurd. How anyone can make such a statement is strange. Islam is constantly justifying the brutality against its woman based on comparative references from their religion and what instructions religion tells them how to treat women.
Perhaps this man needs to don himself in a burka and spend some time in the middle east to learn what the causes are for this brutal "problem with men" Muslim women have? The full and total issue is constantly one and the same: Islam.
By constantly justifying the brutality of Muslim men as 'acceptable' according to their religion, there can never be laws that protect women from the non-entity status they have in Muslim societies. I have myself seen this first hand, and I therefore find the comment extremely callous, ignorant and in denial of the real issue behind this problem.
If he is Muslim while he enjoys drinking wine - a practice forbidden in Islam - he is clearly only a pseudo-muslim by imagination.
