Not when it comes to religion - we have many educated individuals who support intolerance, hate and open discrimination against Ahmadis and openly support violence against others for 'speech' (Blashemy and what not).
I'm not arguing against increased investment in and reform of education, just pointing out that without a concurrent effort to reform traditional Islam, investment in education is only going to yield limited results. And you can't even have this discussion (of reforming traditional interpretations of Islam) widely and openly in society without an outright repeal of the Blasphemy laws and laws against Ahmadis because these laws are a continuing symbol of the very repression and intolerance that has prevented the reform and societal discourse on reform that we need.
Blood and tear soaked streets, anger, anguish, death .. naked, starving and illiterate millions ... no matter ... watch and marvel at our 'Muslim rage' over the 'honor of the Prophet' ...
Girls sold into slavery, children raped, women and minorities ostracized and dehumanized ... no matter .. watch and marvel at our Islamic scholars justify perversity and barbarity as 'Quran and Sunnah' ...
But wait! This is not the 'real Islam'!
The real Islam does not justify pedophilia and child rape because a girl of 9 years old has 'reached puberty' ...
The real Islam does not justify wanton murder and violence .. but how dare someone insult our Prophet - he must be killed!
The real Islam promises equality to everyone and the right to practice their faith freely .. but how dare the Ahmadis try to do the same! They must be discriminated against and punished!
Muslims are in complete denial about the State of Islam today. It's been hijacked by corrupt and hideous men with hideous minds. It's become a religion that justifies murder, intolerance, discrimination, hatred and child rape.
It's become a religion in dire need of reform.
