Re: 10-Year-Old Raped by Mullah; Family Considers Killing Her to Restore Their Honor
I’m not sure if you guys are even on the same page. Everyone seems to be talking about the something different.
I’ve read quite a few articles about case in the original article posted by the OP of this thread and @diwana
**However, in the general sense, **religion is most certainly misinterpreted, both willfully and out of ignorance, in some parts of Afghanistan. I don’t know about anyone else in this thread, but I have been to some of the tribal areas in Afghanistan and I have observed that some people have a very distorted view Islam. With some people, this is out of ignorance because they cannot read the Quran for themselves and they have been misguided by mullahs with extremist leanings. In other cases, such as with the Taliban, people twist religion to suit their own purposes. Whatever the case, the distortion of Islam is definitely there. Here are some of the “gems” I’ve heard from people in such regions:
Divorce is haram.
The Quran discourages education of women.
Women have no right to inheritance in Islam.
Islam allows honour killings as long as the transgression is verified by 3 witnesses.
Frankly, if those travesties are not a grave misunderstanding of Islam, I don’t know what is.
Agree with your post. Thanks.
Talking in general again and not related to this thread:
I would use the word misquoting Islam, rather than misunderstanding islam.
Misunderstanding or misuse words which i have been opposing from beginning mean that,… there is something in islam which could be used for wrong purpose. Not really.
Misquoting Islam is like bringing islam, when there is nothing at all in it, which could be used to commit a crime.
Hope I was clear enough.
