It is just called a sin in the Quaran, so the rulers take it to their power to punish how they deem necessary. | ||

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled wasn't convincing the world he didn't exist, it was founding the Christian, Islamic and Jewish churches to do his bidding. | ||

How dare we say they are wrong, or 'unprogressed' or in the stone ages. They have a right to live there and do what they want. They can form their owns laws, they are a sovergein nation and we have no business to tell them anything. So tried of forgeiners trying to oppress others in the name of 'progress' 'progress' is nothing more than social imperialism. | ||

I don't see how people are turning this into a religious debate until the people guilty for it use religion to defend it. Even then, Christianity has its fair share of radicals. Futhermore, I'm much more inclined to take the Saudi Arabian guy on Page 2's opinion on this than a whole bunch of baised westerners. I've talked to a few people from Oman and I see nothing but peaceful things coming from the area (minus the radicals). SayGen said it best.

Religion has been a "tool" used throughout the ages against mankind. Millions have been killed/controlled in the name of their respective gods/goddesses. This is just another sensationalist story to rekindle the efforts of why we the Americans are there. If the world really wanted to help that country then it wouldn't just primarily be America there. The day humankind can break away from such narrow minded values is the day we will start progressing further as a race. Regardless though the killings were unjustified and is a travesty against mankind. | ||

When we say "Women and children first", is it because we think men are lesser beings? No. To me it's a principle, you dont physicly assault a woman, and beheading one is as low as you can get. Happy? | ||

Though I'm sure he'll claim chivalry, we both know it was discrimination. No sex is worth saving over the other. Woman and children 1st means little in a world of equality. | ||

Still in favor of social imperialism? Tolerance is a two way street my friend. | ||

If religion is taken out of the argument then I am still in favor of "social imperialism". Remember this thread wasn't made for us not to be arguing over such lame semantics. With all the skewed information that is coming to us, we can't discern what is true and what is not true. Regardless though if this story is in fact true, the reasoning behind it is just disturbing. | ||

So you label me as sexist yet go out of your way to say we shouldn't judge other countries and cultures that treat their own people like shit. Yeah okay, keep on spreading your wise words of wisdom. Stupid double standard bullshit. | ||

Everything should be judged, measured and evaluated, all the time, by as many people as possible. Criticism of a system of beliefs that causes things like this to happen is perfectly rational and justified. Likewise, their own criticisms of a western system of beliefs are, in many ways, justified as well and should not be ignored. Both need to be expressed, rather than either side "letting everyone do what they want". Nobody should ever be allowed to entirely "do what they want" - no culture, no nation and no individual. Principles of humanism are universal, and anyone going against those should be pressured to fall into line. | ||

Methinks this part is very important.

Not saying the killing was justified at all, but I guessed it wasn't just simply about "dancing." Thanks, BroOd.  | ||
