This is happening a lot, blaming religion when it's actually cultural traditions. Islam doesn't dictate burkas, or not educating girls, it's tribal customs.
Of course the ones who benefit from these barbaric customs are the ones in power, and they wish to remain in power, so they strictly enforce the customs. Round and round it goes. Some of those involved is this circus are clergy but it's still about power through culture, not religion.
