I don't think so.. not that it would give your argument more merit IMO, because if that was the case I would argue that such actions in the name of religion (any religion) is a hideous distortion of it. Many many thigns have been done in the name of religion that are not exactly condoned by religion... why they happen in the name of religion I don't exactly know. But if you can show that the religion condones it, then u might have an argument.
Strange, this shit happens in southern Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Afghanistan etc.
Also, I don't care for YOUR whims, what I care for is what the established schools of Islamic jurisprudence have to say about the matter.
There is no distortion as far as I can see, only your own perverse distortions to appease western criticism.
