The Islamic Society of Boston (to take just one example) maintains that Islam considers men and women "equal in the sight of God." Mmm-hmm. From the [1] Saudi Institute, with thanks to Ali Dashti:

Washington, DC (January 29) -- A Saudi court has ruled that the value of one woman’s life is equal to that of one man’s Leg. The court ordered a Saudi to pay a Syrian expatriate blood money after he killed the man’s wife and severed both his legs in a car accident six months ago.

The Syrian, Saadi Naif Azabouti, lost his wife and two legs in the accident. The court ordered $13,300 compensation for the man’s wife, and the same amount for each of his legs, Al-Watan newspaper reported on Wednesday.

Saudi courts are run according the Wahhabi Islamic traditions and are
limited to Wahhabi judges. Other Muslims, such as non-Wahhabi Sunni and Shiites, are banned from being judges.

Women in Saudi Arabia face wide-ranging discrimination institutionalized by the Saudi government, which doses not recognize women as separate entities, but rather as an extension of their male relatives.
