Not really. Her "Islam is a feminist religion" comment related to Islamic doctrine at its inception. She was referring to property and marital rights of females as conferred under Islam at Mohammed's time in the 6th/7th century AD. They were an advance on the contemporary Christian rights. Her comments were explicitly historical in context and anti fundamentalist in tone....ie she was condemning elements within Islam who wish to constrain women to their 7th century position by using the literal word of the Koran. FWIW the bible's not exactly a feminist document either, but for some reason we seem to airbrush that.
