Ignorance is a sickness, and unless religious leaders who teach people to stay ignorant across their religious teachings stop, there is no hope for a change in this fanatic society, where women are treated, and considered to be un-equal to men.
I do not know, much about Islam, but as I have gathered through general knowledge, and hear-say, Islam is a male dominated religion, and treats its women worse than beasts of burden, where they are denied their basic rights as individuals, and are considered to be the sole property of the male members of their families, or in case of marriage, of their husband, in which in many cases the woman has no choice in choosing, because the choice of her husband is decided by their respective families.
I believe that this might be one of the many reasons that Benazir Bhutto was assassinated, because she wanted to bring women in equal footing to men, and have equal rights as individual human beings, and be free from this male dominated society, which abuses human rights through their religious fanatism.
I also believe that religions that teach the abuse of human rights through their religious practices, their religious leaders should be brought to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity, especially when their religious laws use capital punishment towards those who only ask for their basic human rights, such as freedom of choice, freedom of religion, equality between the sexes, or their basic right to be free thinkers.

Why?
henn;80746: Why don’t the people who are always demonizing Isreal ever comment on stories like this?
Simple it goes against the propaganda campaign.
Admitting that Islam has the potential and is being used justifiy attacking others opens the door to the fact that the Israeli Palestinian conflict is as much about religion as it is about resouce control.
Thuggery is on the rise and accepted!
Criminals are controlling power structures worldwide and use terrorist tactiucs like this to further goals.
Using Children to enflame others is employed more often then anyone would like to admit.

This theory of yours might have been right in the past, but in today’s advanced way of living this does not hold, because more people have died through automobile accidents than they have died through-out the past wars.
Then we have birth control, and controceptive meathods, abortion, one child policy,gay marriages, and safe sex, which helps to keep our population in control.
As far as food is concerned there is enough to go around for all of us, but the fact is that it is not equally being distributed, there are a lot of people that are over-fed and others that are starving to death.
We need more exchange among nations , so that our products can be distributed freely and we all can benefit, through hard work and determination, by creating more jobs, better working conditions, fair pay, free health care for all, rich and poor, and to live in a peaceful harmonious atmosphere with one another, respecting the rights of others, and live an let live.

Don’t forget about the KKK who would burn african americans on a cross. They were white christians.
There are lunatics in every society, and they would use religion for any purpose.

Sammy, it’s not Islam that makes the fanatics do what they do, but their own interpretation there of, nowhere in the Quran will you find that behaviour like their’s is condoned, the opposite of it is true, they have set them selves up for condemnation, if they expect their reward at the last day, than that is excactly what they will receive, the ever consuming flames of hell!
