Correct sentence or not?

[feelap]

Hi guys,

Is this sentence correct or make sense?

'Islam regard women are of equal status to men'

Thanks P

[Sachs]

'are' shouldn't be in there I feel?

[saxy_jag]

Not at all.

Try 'Islam regards women as being of equal status to men.'

No, it doesn't make sense. If it were going to make grammatical sense, it should something like "the Islamic view is that women ...." I'm wondering if this is a translation from another language - "regard" has a similar meaning to "view"?

Feelap, how long have you been married? Surely you know that in any marriage, the woman is ALWAYS right - even in Islam! ;-)
