horrible... but points to a hypocrisy with the practice of religion: she was able to "accept" thousands upon thousands of deaths, and continue preaching her message until her own daughter fell victim; then she couldn't believe what people do in the name of religion. her empathy and sprituality was conditional on this not happening to her. this is a common human characteristic that is infused in religion - always has been, always will be.
You're right. Religion is a very dangerous thing--and has only a superficial relationship with faith.
