blame the individuals

I agree when it is said that the so-called religious people are at fault when they use children for their sadist fantacies...but my nod of agreement stops when you say that the muslim way of life itself is flawed and immoral or unacceptable. I have been born and brought up in a muslim country and respect their culture. I am a believing christian but that does not stop me from appreciating what high standards they have of morality and how tolerant they are of other religions.
I say hold each individual responsible for his actions and not the community for each man holds his own soul.
