You are somewhat correct. Israel gives Arab women more rights than any other Middle Eastern nation. But, Iran may be in second place. Here is an article about women's rights in Iran:

Iran stops stoning of women adulterers

news.bbc.co.uk

From the article: "Iran has halted stoning as a form of capital punishment for women, a senior judiciary official in Iran has been quoted as saying.

The head of the judiciary is reported to have instructed judges not to implement the sentence, which is in line with a strict interpretation of Islamic law."

RE:Iran also seems to give women equal rights.

You gotta be joking, right? How many links do you want to show that you are wrong? The fact that it is not OK to stone them to death now doesn't mean they have equal rights. It might be a small step in the right direction, one that should have happened in any CIVILIZED country a long time ago, but it sure doesn't mean equal rights.
