[quote]>>Islam does not give the sister the same share of inheritance as her brother who gets twice her share.

If both are appointed before death, then both get an equal amount. If they are not appointed before death, then the brother gets twice the amount. Explain?

Also, the share of mother and father in inheritance is equal.

>>Islam recommends or orders testimony of two women equal to that of one man in financial matters.

Islam does not order and neither recommends, it merely suggests which is as mild a suggestion as on wife beating.

>>Quran states that men are a degree over women.

I am not sure of the words used, but this degree comes about owing to the responsibility of earning.

>>Islam grants men to marry multiple women.

In a certain context, and with great conditions, which end up discouraging the practice.

>>Islam states husband can give talaq.

And so can a woman opt for a Khula.

Do you believe that Islamic system is not a patriarchy?

I believe, there can be alternative opinions and interpretations.
