The previous mail got sent before I could complete it: These are people who are committing crimes in the name of religion. You, on the outside, are horrified by such acts in the name of Islam, and are terrified of it, rightly so. We, on the other hand, live in the midst of this blatant violation of the guidance in the Quran! What these elements have not been able to find or insert in the Quran, they have created / inserted / discovered in other sources, and practice it in the name of God. That does not justify their actions, neither do the numbers of the mobs make it correct. These are all gross violations of human rights. However, all of us humans are here on this earth, on trial, for a brief limited period of time, after which we return. God has promised Judgement Day and that justice will be established! Of course, that does not absolve us from correcting these wrongs here on Earth. In fact, it increases our responsibility and duty to spread the actual message of the Quran, hoping that sanity will prevail. Civil pressure groups and lawyers are trying to advice and implement corrections, scholars are speaking up and hope to bring about positive changes.
