I am not an interpreter of, or an apologist for, Afghani Islam. I'm just saying that it is unjust to blame every Muslim for what a family of depraved sadists did to this poor child.
Again I say, read the article. The rickshaw driver, the kind neighbors who told the police the truth about what happened, the people who run the orphanages in Kandahar and Kabul: they're all Muslims, too,
Those sadists were the pool from which the Taliban drew its killers.
I acclaim those who did try and help.
You are absolutely correct in your observations that it was Muslims that came to the aid of this poor child. However, it is still true that the Koran (at least the way many read it) allows for child brides to be married against their will and allows (and in some instances recommends) the inhumane treatment of women.
