Another reason why religion in general needs to be crushed:

Lynch mob beats Kabul woman to death for allegedly burning Koran

A woman in the Afghan capital Kabul has been beaten to death and set on fire by a mob after she allegedly burnt a copy of the Koran. Experts worry that women's rights are at risk despite making gains in recent years.

 Police officials said on Thursday that the lynch mob later threw the woman's body into the Kabul River close to the Shah-e-Do Shamshera shrine.

"A woman who had burnt a copy of the holy Koran was beaten by a group of people in the Shah-e-Do Shamshera area," said Farid Afzali, head of the city's police criminal office.

Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi also confirmed the incident, saying that police arrested four suspects in connection with the killing.

Local media identified the woman as 32-year-old Farkhonda. Her family reportedly met the Kabul police's criminal investigation team and said their daughter had been suffering from mental illness for many years.

...

Also notice how her family classifies her as "insane" because she burned the Koran. Either they are genuinely afraid by this fascist religion and its reckless supporters, or they are not much better than those who killed her.

She probably was insane. Even if you're an atheist, it's pretty foolish to burn a Koran in Afghanistan. OBVIOUSLY it doesn't justify what happened to her and obviously I hope anyone everyone involved gets the death penalty, but no one in their right mind would make themselves a target like that.

Doubt it. But it would be racist to criticize brown Muslims so he has to handwave it.
