Obviously, that situation is completely reprehensible. And tragic. And -

We have a situation right here in the US, the Fundamental Church of Latter Day Saints, with approximately 100,000 members scattered across a number of sects, who regard women as childbearing creatures on Earth to satisfy the needs of men.

Why not get a bit excited about them? This is, after all, a situation the US could control.

Read Jon Krakauer, "Under the Banner of Heaven", for instance. Marrying girls of 13 and 14, "rape" in most places, marrying lots of them, on the orders of a religious leader. The girls have no choice.

(But pee doesn't post this. Young Brides Stir New Outcry on Utah Polygamy, as it doesn't fit his religious prejudices. Doesn't demonize Muslims. These folks are nominal Christians.)

Nope, we don't have to go too far if we want to be outraged at the treatment of women at the hands of religion.
