Why are so many of the comments blaming the concept of religion, or the specific religion of Islam.... Rather than blaming the dad for being a murderer?

This dude murdered his daughter. He doesn't get to hide behind an excuse. He doesn't get to say "religion/culture/whatever made me do it"

Because religion is still the brainwashing machine that set it in motion.

Saying that it's all because religion and not blaming the father is stupid, but so is ignoring the importance of religion as a control tool.
