If you are in need of a bit of perspective, read this article. A 13-year-old girl was gang raped in Somalia. Her reward for the incredible act of bravery on her part was a public stoning for adultery. Held in an stadium, a thousand cheering onlookers watched as she was brutally murdered.

Can you imagine what she was thinking, huddled there as the stones rained down against her body?

Most grown women are not brave enough to admit what happened to them when they are raped. What this girl should have been told was that what happened to her was not her fault, that there was no shame in what happened to her. Yet blame and shame were heaped upon her until she died beneath their weight. Literally.

Is this what freedom of religion means?
