"Could it be that in muslim countries/societies girl babies are a burden?"
"muslim countries/societies" I do not agree with this phrase because if it was truly a muslim country/society they would know that it is FORBIDDEN in Islam to kill any child either because you do not want it or you do not think you can care for it. Before Islam it was a practice of some arabs to bury their newborn daughters in the desert. This was revealed to Muhammad to be one of the greatest sins. This practice was and is reviled and forbidden.
I cannot help that muslim people can be crazy also. There are over a billion who claim Islam as their religion. There are going to be some flys in the ointment like any high population society or country. We have women here in America (nonmuslim) who will kill their children so they can be with their boyfriends. There are also serial killers and psychos. It does not mean that Americans condone this practices. One's culture is not one's religion. Italians and Mexicans have different cultures but both are Catholic societies on a whole. Yet we see a lot of variance between the two.
I am not sure if I answered the question or addressed the issue to your liking so please let me know.
Astaghfirullah
