BerzerkFury, why are you so stupid, why don't you listen to Slapper?
We can't possibly understand this unless we take the position of cultural relativists...
That is to say, we must try to understand the issues in the local context of the area, i.e. the place is islamic, sharia (infallible law of God) is the law, and under that culture their actions are OK, even commendable simply because it's their culture. To view these issues from our enlightened cultural position would be wrong (even tho if we apply logic cultural relativism breaks down at the first hurdle)... remember we used to do all this shit too... 1000 years ago!
