Thank you Projekt.
To give you a picture from the inside, unfortunately the image of Islam in the west is 180 degree the opposite of what it's like here! Sorry to say but I used to live in the west and I know how the picture is twisted in the media for some reasons! To tell you the truth Islam is innocent from most of these allegations. Before Islam women were devalued and a female infants were buried alive. Islam raised the value of women and prohibited female infanticide. Islam also put an end to the practice whereby inheritance went to only the oldest male inheritor. Instead, a woman can inherit from her father, her husband, and her childless brother. In Islam when a woman gets married she does not surrender her maiden name, but maintains her distinct identity. Some Muslim women have adopted the surnames of their husbands, but this is due to cultural influence, not Islam.
Islam condemns oppression to women and such violent acts shown in the video. The women in a truly Muslim society have rights like most of the women around the world even more. I tell you I live in Saudi Arabia and I don't need to explain what SA means to the Muslim world. The women here even have more rights than men lol. The following are some of the rights they have in Islam:
The right to have their own independent property.
The right to obtain education.
The right to work if they need money or want it.
The right to express their opinion and be heard.
The right to provisions from the husband for all her needs.
The right to negotiate marriage terms of her choice.
The right to obtain divorce from her husband, even if that she simply can't stand him. (pls note that God deeply frowns upon divorce as a solution unless there is hardly any other alternative but it does not mean that men have more right to divorce their wives than women do.)
The right to keep all her money (she is not responsible to maintain any relation).
The custody of their children after divorce.
The right to choose who to marry.
I can go on…
The problem today is when a small group of people, a tribe or whatever counted among muslims commit a wrongful act, the first thing to be blamed is ISLAM!

Actually, the name Teg is a short of my Acura Integra. The name is very popular among Acura owners.
Oh so that explainds the acts in the video. Sorry it may not be something Isalm is about. BUT Islam is invoked as justification for it. As for the list of rights I don't recall there being many girls in school under the Taliban?

I don't know about Taliban, maybe it's due to their culture.
Like all religions, it's twisted to fit the ambitions of the individual. The doctirne of every religion calls for love and support. Every single one of them has been twisted by practitioners to advance their own desires.
Honor killings happen in Islamic nations and are commited in other nations by people from those nations with those beliefs. Female genital mutilation happens in Africa and in other places by those who believe in that practice. Rape victims are villified and shunned in many 3rd world nations and are still "put on trial" here in the US. How do you think William Kennedy Smith got off on his - what are we up to 3 - rape allegations now? Practitioners of all religions tend to pick and choose which sins are acceptable to commit.

Don't get off track. No one used religion to try to justify WKS's crimes.
Abuse of women on a social level is horrific I have seen it's effects in the Balkins and other garden spots. Compairing it to any single event like WKS is like compairing genocide to a serial killer. Both horrific but very different.
If only our presence was doing something about this issue...
