What it's doing is identifying an action that is based on ignorance or misunderstandings. It's attempting to correct a negative behavior. It doesn't mean that you're a bad person, simply that a mistake has been committed. Given the cultural prejudices in play here, it's important that incidents like these not be allowed to perpetuate, but rather be brought up. It's why it's important to raise Ahmed up as a symbol. If you wish to discuss women's rights in Islam, we can do so via PM rather than drag this thread further off course.
