Is this another example of religions effect on society?
Actually, its a perfect example of what happens when a society is defined by religion (or, actually, one groups interpretation of that religion) as Afghanistan has been, for quite a while.

Yes indeed and not only in Afghanistan, hundreds if not thousands of people die
every week around the world in the name of religion.

On the Afghani society, sure. I don't think it's fair to offer an example about Afghanistan, which is an atypically barbaric place, and then somehow extrapolate it to apply to all religion.

wont you show us a picture of compassionate religions effect on society? a link speaks for itself which the atheists surrounding the dead man could only look on & wouldnt offer (communist china is atheist country):

on your question, nowhere in the article mentioned islam. can you assume it was islam that motivated this killing? love-hate murders are more frequent in western countries, inclu USA. a UK international daily has endless news on relationship murders more than other news. more often, they involved mutilation of bodies. Afghanistan is a muslim country, that does not make it a totally holy acquiescence one. somehow a man may mend or break based on the level of religion influence on him, his habits & the influence of society on him. some particular middle eastern countries are more violent prone than others, possibly due the kind of fiery diets they have. in buddhism, monks & chinese vegetarians forgo 5 kinds of onions vegetables that are known to spark passions & fly-away tempers.
