The greatest proplem for Muslims

The greatest problem for the majority of Muslims is that their society is still essentially tribal and ancient tibal customs trump any civilizing effort. Honor killing, for instance, is a purely cultural custom having nothing to do with religion. In some places Christians carry out honor killings just like those reported about Muslims. I have seen it among back country Greeks and there are still incidents of same in some parts of former Yugoslavia. Until a people evolves beyond mere tribalism such attitudes are likely to continue.
