One thing that pisses me off the most about (i)slam

I have read many books, online articles, and other sources on islam. I have always found a problem with the religion, but there is one thing that makes me want to literally kill someone because of it. It is their treatment of women. Now I may hear someone say "oh, well, that's not how we treat women, that's just a small minority." Well, if it's a small minority, do something about it, try to keep them quiet, make your opinion sound bigger than theirs. It just disgusts me beyond all imagination. The treatment of women by males is horrible, it's grotesque. It is the most God-awful thing ever.

I found one article about how more and more so-called "honor killings" are occurring in Iraq these days. Women are being killed for simple things, such as removing their veils or falling in love with a British soldier, as in the case of one 17 year old girl named Rand Abdel-Qader, who was stabbed to death by her father for being infatuated with a British soldier in Basra. Women are raped, beaten, beheaded, get genital mutilation against their will, commit suicide due to influence that they have "wronged" so-called "allah" and muhammad. Du'a Khalil Aswad, a 17 year old girl from Nineveh, was stoned to death in front of 2,000 for falling in love with a boy who was not from her tribe. The girl's family has been cast out, her father affirms that she had done nothing wrong and that she died due to his brother and tribe. He wants the people who killed her put to justice but knows that nothing will happen. Another women, named Rukhma, was trafficked over the border from Pakistan to Afghanistan was handed over to a man who raped her and beat her 3-year old son to death. She was then arrested along with the man, after escaping, for "escaping her house" and adultery. She was handed a 3 year sentence in prison for her "crimes." The man who oversaw her case laughed at her saying "This is Afghanistan, not America" and also said that if his wife went to the bazaar without his permission, he would kill her. "This is our culture" he exclaimed. Approximately 70%-80% of women who complain of domestic violence are charged with crimes. If you don't believe me, the article is right at the bottom of this page, along with another article discussing the earlier atrocities.

These women are being forced and threatened to obey the rules of an islamic state, whether one may exist in reality or not. The crime of a woman who gets raped then is jailed for so-called "adultery," then is stoned to death or beheaded, is probably one of the worst crimes being perpetuated on women on the entire Earth. When I see this country, people screaming that our own government is evil and are trying to oppress people, they should look at what is happening half way around the world. What is happening to women over there makes the US look like a utopia. I'm not saying we're perfect either, but the disgusting, appalling, grotesque, barbaric, immoral crimes being perpetuated against women in the name of islam or allah or muhammad is one of the greatest evils being committed on Earth, and it must be stopped at all costs.
