Equal rights for Women in Egypt

What is the Muslim response to other Muslims calling for equal rights for women and for free speech? Ask Kareem Amer:
Kareem has been imprisoned in Alexandria, Egypt, since November, after posting to his website statements calling for equal rights for women and protection of free speech, as well as other statements critical of the Egyptian government. He has been denied bail and faces a long prison sentence if convicted of the charges held against him. The New York group is trying to mobilize the national news media in hopes that increased visibility of Kareem's circumstances will pressure the Egyptian government to act responsibly.

Religion of tolerance? Actions speak louder than words.
