You are right in the small picture and wrong in the big picture, I think.
BTW why do you think so many people on this thread are refusing to say, "It's Islam.". Why, on a thread about a Muslim woman dying at the hands of Muslim father because of his Muslim beliefs,
Are people quickly yelling, "it's all religions! It's Abrahamic religions! And, what about those Buddhists! What about ALL THOSE PEOPLE who wont take western medicine?"
It's like watching ten white cops beat up a black guy in apartheid South Africa where the laws are utterly stacked against blacks, and saying "ah, the problem is violence and anger. I personally am against violence and anger. That's the root of the problem."
It. Doesn't. Help. It hurts. Because it pours smoke on the actual problem. It makes excuses - excuses that feel good but are used (by those who RUN the system)
to avoid blame and responsibility and to never ever change.
(And you do want to help, don't you?)
