Rape is a terrible problem in India especially gang rape probably the worst in the world.

India has gone downhill since Britian left

So therefore it makes sense that these two countries just have similar cultures and attitudes towards women regardless of religion

I also said: However Islam is the second largest religion in India. It's not far fetched that both countries might have adopted similar customs.

So it's Muslims fault in India too? Ok then, I'm done.

You see what you want to see in the conversation. I can't help that. Don't confuse people with beliefs that are taught to people.

Any culture that makes 10 year old girls marry 40 year old men disgusts me and shouldnt be allowed to exist

I read it. I don't care if it was Islam, Hindu or whatever primitive religion it was - it is a religion that hates and abuses women. And they have clearly been getting away with it for centuries.

She was a victim of rape but she will be the one who will be punished. She may escape being stoned now but her life will never be the same if she stays there and she probably never be safe.

That is down to man-made religion and man-made rules designed to give men the upper hand. A primitive controlling and abusive religion is what it is no matter what name it hides behind and some are clearly a lot worse than others.

I think this is the important message to take from the story. To give you credit, you didnt mention a specific religion.. others did, there was a lot of religion bashing in this thread despite both; the protagonists and the antagonists likely sharing a faith. It didnt make sense. Some are worse than others, agreed, others are not bad at all.

I'm 90% sure that Brillo meant that some religions "are clearly worse than others", rather than some members of each religion being worse than others.

I might be wrong.

But it would be more in step with Brillo's other posts.

Oh. Maybe. That's a shame. I thought I witnessed personal growth for a second there.

why brush it under the carpet and pretend it doesnt happen, the more we know about stuff like this that goes on the more we are nearer a time where this kind of thing is is put to an end. Of course it's horrible but it's better to be educated in what goes on instead of being ignorant to it, otherwise how can we do anything about it

What?

Who said brush it under the carpet?

I don't need to watch graphic videos of innocent people being slaughtered in war zones to know it's happening.

I simply asked how people can put themselves through watching something like that. The people I asked answered me courteously and that's the end of it.
