in Islam God is Great, the wisest, infallible.. what the Muslims do to each other is obviously Allah's grander plan.
we should not intervene. when we interfere we are saying that out western ways/ideas/concerns are better than Allah's will/plan/grace. which is the greatest of insults.
leave them alone, what we see as horrific, inhuman is simply missguided observation without faith. we arent qualified to judge them
