I'm amazed that Carter actually mentioned islam by name!
Former President Jimmy Carter says much of the discrimination and abuse suffered by women around the world is attributable to a belief "that women are inferior in the eyes of God."
Carter said such teachings by "leaders in Christianity, Islam and other religions" allow men to beat their wives and deny women their fundamental rights as human beings.

Maybe he's going wiggy in his old age and actually mixing in some sense with his usual nonsense.

Yeah- but it's a common liberal democrat's whipping-boy. Nothing new there.
