Its weird how people tend to forego the gentler aspects of their faith and readily adopt dogmatic and even violent aspects. The human psyche seems to crave any sort of justification for blood lust.
Re: Afghan woman beaten to death for allegedly burning Quran
Some people are conditioned to believe that any (perceived) slight to their faith, warrants a violent reaction. Unless such a mindset is unequivocally challenged and condemned, these type of attacks will keep on occurring.
Muslims must understand that these episodes of savagery hurts their own society more than anything else. No one will benefit more than muslims from changing the mindset which condones violence in the name of religion.
Muslims must look at whats beneficial for muslim societies and what is not.
