Bur Ror, you're the one who cited the Koran as the reason they are inexcusable.

Every nation has people who are capable of having children. When they raise those children, they will issue edicts and instuction. Do this. Do not do this. They will expect to be obeyed. If the child does not obey them, they will punish the child. This is universal. This is teaching self restraint and self responsibility. Why are we fighting over this?

Because these things happen everywhere, even here in America. Why? Because ultimately, humans are humans. We react to situations in different ways, even breaking our own moral codes when being swept up in the moment (come on! Yoyu remember High School!
).
Spinster made this point in another thread. When a bank is robbed in America, of course we blame the criminal. But if the law enforcement body in power did NOTHING to prevent it, wouldn't we be equally angry at them for not doing their job? Doesn't the American military, who
is the acting body there by defact, carry some of the blame?

If they never did it previously, obviously, they understood that it was socially unacceptable -which is the standard by which we measure right and wrong as most people regard ethics as archaic.

Right, they never did so because they'd have their hands chopped off and their wife raped in front of them. Would you break the law if you disagreed with its enforcement? Would you act rebelious towards this government if it became oppressive?

If you deny they have the intellegence to tell the difference between the universally acceptable conduct and oppressive laws, we should be also seeing a virtual orgy of rape and killing right now.

How do we know this kind of stuff
isn't going on?
