Quote:Originally posted by FREMDFIRMA: While certain behavior is itself reprehensible, I think it's rather pathetically obvious Rappys issue isn't with the behavior so much as who engages, since if this sleaze had different cultural and political affiliations he'd be all over himself defending them. Lots of people use religion as excuse for behavior no belief should find acceptable, it's nothing new, and not at all restricted to judeo-christian or abrahamic religions either, tis a real issue in paganism as well which mostly goes unaddressed. Of course, we all know *HIS* issue isn't with the behavior, exactly.... -F

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: Quote:all but dismissing the violent sexual acts Er, you seem to have gotten the wrong idea out of the story- not a first for you. The crime was not all but dismissed, it was the sentencing at issue. And the man WAS sentenced.
Quote: However, the appeal to "cultural differences"... bogus. EVEN IF cultural differences were truly the issue (and AGENTR showed how that is not likely, given that even the offender's community would have ostracized him), when you live in a nation you agree to abide by its laws and customs.
