Did some Islamophobe say that? No, actually, it was a multitude of Muslim religious leaders in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh's military-backed government has backed down from a policy to ensure equal property rights to women amid angry protests by Muslim clerics that the move would override Islamic law.
The country's law minister Hasan Arif said the government "does not have any plan to enact any laws that goes against the Koran and the traditions of Prophet Mohammad," a government statement said.
Arif gave the assurance to top Islamic clerics and scholars late on Tuesday, after Islamic groups warned of nationwide protests, saying they would not tolerate any law that went against sharia, the Islamic law code.

I know this is an old post, but the title and tone of this post sounds, in my opinion, a little uncharitable, even condescending and perhaps a tad biased.
In fact, instead of quoting a multitude of religious leaders, you have merely quoted from a report about some leaders in a particular context. In fact the same report clearly shows that some Muslims who do not agree to the way some of their leaders interpret their Scriptures.
In fact, in a larger context, there are many Muslims who support women’s rights. See, for instance, this report: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/7689897.stm. And, here is another report that supports a different view than the one you posed: http://media.www.theranger.org/media/storage/paper1010/news/2008/04/18/News/Islam.Teaches.Respect.For.Women-3335429.shtml.
