The news story is about this adorable little girl, Hena Akhter. She was raped by a relative, but an Imam following sharia law found her guilty of adultery and sentenced her to 101 lashes. This little angel died after receiving 70 of those lashes. The events read like an unbelievable horror story where readers would say, "That couldn't happen!"
I can see the mods ready with the ban button as this is such a personal matter, but it is also a global matter. The concepts of multiculturalism is about understanding each others beliefs. We do not have to trust or agree with them, but as a minimum try and understand them so we show the way out of this darkness.

Understand what exactly ?
Understand raping and killing a little girl is OK as long as it isn't in my sight ?
Understand that because it's a different culture it's OK?
Understand what?

This was a message to all the victims of rape in their country. It's their way of saying 'don't ask don't tell' and if you do you'll die. That's the message I'm getting from this.
These Imams aren't condemning rapist, they are warning future victims to not speak up.

The impression I got from reading that comment, is completely different from the way you took it.
I don't think that person was in any way trying to justify the actions. It could have been worded better, but I think they were just simply trying to say that this is something that should not be kept quiet. It is something that needs to be discussed, in order to make others aware of just how twisted some religions truly are.
