A story that will not go away

No matter how much I try to forget about this story, there is something that compels me to talk about it. I have two daughters and the horror of what happened keeps me awake at night. Follow this link, read the story and keep in mind the words of Ansar Ahmed : 

"Acts of faith, whatever they may be, have to come from within – they cannot be imposed on anyone, if they are, they are not true acts of faith," he said."

I know this isn't the place for this type of entry but for the life of me, I can't get this out of my head. Why do I feel that this is happening all over the globe and all it would take is a bit of understanding, a bit of communication to settle these things instead of killing your own flesh and blood? Is this the way that God wanted it to be? Was this in the Great Plan? I am an atheist but I am still very much human.  The only good that will come of this is discussion  and maybe someone somewhere will be able to offer girls such as Aqsa shelter from a raging parent and raging brothers.
