It's not a problem with Islam it's a culture problem

The problem with Islam is that you can't separate culture from religion, nor religion from politics for that matter. And, at the risk of seeming callous, I don't give a flying-you-know-what what happens in Afghanistan, as long as it stays in Afghanistan and doesn't migrate over here with the Afghanis. As a westener ... a Canadian, born and raised in Clayton, and damn proud of it ... I find it repulsive how females are treated in Afghanistan, Nigeria, Pakistan, and the Congo. But it is as much of an error for us to try to impose our culture on them, as it is for them to attempt the same impostion on our societies. The NATO mission in Afghanistan failed ... at the cost of too many US, British, and Canadian lives. Whatever spin the politicians put on it, it was a dismal failure. And the reason is that the Afghanis don't want our way of doing things impsosed on them. And it's time for leaders in the West to stand up and say without equivocation, that we don't want their way of life brought to our shores.
