Exactly, Islamic law (and Islam in general) is so out-of place regarding women rights that I can't understand how someone from western culture can be convinced it's a good thing.

This might depend on their definition of "peace". If they - very much tautologically - define "peace" as "Everyone is living in accordance with Islamic law." then according to that definition Islamic law certainly is a perfect recipe for peace.

That'd just not be the usual understanding of peace.

Convincing is in the eye of the beholder. It doesn't surprise me anymore because at this point I've seen more than enough of this sort naivety/idiocy that's massively trending again in the West. It's not a new phenomenon:

I got the same impression, as coming from the modern style of "open-mindedness", which seems to be interpreted not as judging an idea by its merits alone, but by giving more weight to non-establishment ideas.

I have no idea how someone could not convincingly accept that.

In modern western society, adultery, one of the worse possible civilization destroying crimes, is hardly even regarded as truly evil and is glorified in media. Especially when women do it.
