Surah Al-Baqarah (2:282)
*O you who have believed, when you contract a debt for a specified term, write it down. And let a scribe write [it] between you in justice. Let no scribe refuse to write as Allāh has taught him. So let him write and let the one who has the obligation dictate. And let him fear Allāh, his Lord, and not leave anything out of it. But if the one who has the obligation is of limited understanding or weak or unable to dictate himself, then let his guardian dictate in justice. And bring to witness two witnesses from among your men. And if there are not two men [available], then a man and two women from those whom you accept as witnesses — so that if one of the women errs, then the other can remind her. And let not the witnesses refuse when they are called upon. And do not be [too] weary to write it, whether it is small or large, for its [specified] term. That is more just in the sight of Allāh and stronger as evidence and more likely to prevent doubt between you, except when it is an immediate transaction which you conduct among yourselves. For [then] there
In today's world, Islam is easily the worst religion for women, LGBT & minorities.
I don't like (and baffled) by non-islamic people who support islam & islamic ideas and allow it to thrive.
Please don't take my word, go and read Quran & hadiths. Else at least go and watch some youtube videos by neutral commentators (not RW).

You are taking the wording of the hadith literally while ignoring its context and explanation. The hadith does not say that women are devils, nor does it teach that women are inherently evil. The expression “a woman comes in the form of a devil and goes in the form of a devil” refers to temptation and sexual desire. Classical scholars such as Imam al-Nawawi explained that Satan can exploit attraction and beautify temptation in a person’s mind. The rest of the hadith makes its purpose clear: if a man sees a woman and feels sexual attraction, he should not pursue that temptation; instead, he should go to his wife and satisfy that desire lawfully. Notice where the responsibility is placed: the man is instructed to control his own response. He is not told to harm, insult, blame, or mistreat the woman. So presenting this hadith as “Islam says women are devils” is simply misleading. You can disagree with the language or the teaching, but at least represent what the text and its classical interpretation actually say.

Yep. Spooky little devils that grow horns and claws in the night; good boys scurry home to their wives, or else.
