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,
Yes. And since divine reward and punishment is at stake, and means to spread the message
is justified. Just as any means to suppress heresy were justified for the Inquisition.
Torture and lying and war are perfectly rational means to avoid infinite suffering in an
afterlife.
hoping that sanity will prevail.
Sanity is proportioning one's belief to the evidence.

Civil pressure groups and lawyers are trying to advice and implement corrections,
scholars are speaking up and hope to bring about positive changes.
