3. Islam, during its golden age, conferred rights on women
that their Christian sisters in Europe didn't get until the last century. However, as the tribal bullshit and Abrahamanic misogyny took over, the Golden Age turned back to barbarism. I don't think there is any reason to doubt that one thing has much to do with the other. Rising status for women generally means the entire culture rises to a higher level.
Just recognize that Islam isn't the problem. Mohammad overturned the tribal conventions that turned half the human race into cattle and taught that the sexes were equal. He was far ahead of his time. Alas, it didn't last.
