It seems a simple mistake on 'belief' could lead to many loss of lives.
Just to let you guys aware that restriction on doing rites toward deities for women in her period is a cultural legacy from paganistic arab tradition.
Munaf (Arabic ‎ was a pre-Islamic deity in Mecca when the residents were still polytheists. The statue of Munaf was caressed by women, but when they had their periods they were not allowed to near it.

Perhaps somewhat related
A few days ago I walked through central stockholm, and saw a rolling LED sign on a storefront that had some monotheistic truth programmed. I noticed that it said "...ALLAH...WORSHIP THE CREATOR NOT CREATION"
Usually I try to zone out billboards and adverts in the city, but this caught my attention. I wanted to see more, but was instead assaulted by sales messages for telephone subscriptions.
I felt upset and violated. I don't think the owner/programmer of the sign had bad intentions, but for me it felt bad - God's name caught my attention, and then it turned out someone wanted me to buy something. I don't think God should have to share space with commercial advertising.2115 And to All?h belong the east and the west, so wherever you turn yourselves or your faces there is the Face of All?h (and He is High above, over His Throne).
