Thread Name: BS: Teenager stoned: A Story, which beggars belief
Subject: RE: BS: A Story That Beggars Belief
CarolC, you seem not to be reading posts which actually have pointedly noted that Islam is not the only group that treats women badly.

If this were a Hindu honour killing, it would be condemned, along with whatever it is in their culture which condones such acts.

If this were an honour killing or acid attack in Brazil, it would be condemned, along with the woman-hating male culture that supports such acts.

In this case, Muslims killed this child and used Islam as an excuse.

But Imams and Muslims have access to the internet as we do, if not in Somalia, certainly everywhere else, yet I have found one Imam or Mullah speaking out about this kind of crime online, just one. They should be crying out in loud choruses about such evil, not meekly sitting back and saying nothing.

I have found one Australian Islamic religious leader speaking out about the treatment of women.
