A Reply to an Atrocity Reported on by Aayan Hirsi Ali, Head of AHA Foundation

"
The AHA Foundation
‎14-year-old Malala, a Pakistani peace prize winner, was shot in the head today on her school bus for her activism fighting for the right for girls to be educated in Pakistan. The Taliban have claimed responsibility. She is currently fighting for her life in the hospital

At the AHA Foundation, we believe that women and girls everywhere, of all cultures, merit access to education and basic human rights.

We're rooting for you, Malala!

I don't believe this actually has anything to do with religion. If you look that the modern thinking behind Gobekli Tepi it is thought that the urge to be religious is the foundation of civilization, and that the desire to worship God wasn't as a trade that appeared as some sort of job in the movement toward civilization. What I am getting at is that most people think religion is about doing what is good, and because most of us believe murder is wrong in our hearts, the urge to worship Gd is mostly a good thing, and not only that, but that the desire to worship causes the majority to do good. It is unfortunate though that some people, mostly children themselves, have such a hard time wrestling with what is true and what is good, that in a society of children, as Packistan is, there is more likely to be tragedies that happen as a result of not having a population of elders that can help drive society to do better. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6bekli_Tepe
