When you read the Bible you see that the book is actually a book for hope of better life. When the Bible was written, people needed some hope and the Bible was born. They lived in miserable world and believing the Bible was only hope for them. When you read Quran you realize that "this is a book for men and only for them". Men can do anything but women are slaves and be punished of everything, even if men do wrong - women are punished.

So my question is this: Is Quran really for favouring men only? What is the purpose?

I'm sorry if this sounds an offense for men/Islam religion, but this is how you feel when you read Quran.
