Again, Islam has CURRENTLY in the east far too many ignorant fundies. But when even Pakistani Muslims blast the assasination attempt on Malala for wanting an education, the issue is clear. RELIGION DOES fuck things up. But Islam isn't the only one that retards human progress, even though it currently is behind the times.
Christianity in Europe and the colonies was just as tribal and barbaric "Dark ages" "Iquisition" "witch hunts".. And even in the 60s white Christians justified the murder of blacks. Even today the right wing wants to control the bodies of women and deny gays equal rights.
To me it is fine to go after the barbarism that exists in Islam, but it is not ok to throw out those who support the rights of a girl who wants an education, even if they hold a religious belief, but to say no one in Islam suports her is absurd, otherwise the outrage would not be worldwide. She wouldn't have even gotten to the point of becoming outspoken if everyone in her community, or family taught her to "know her place". Some people arround her taught her to be herself.
