Okay,I'm running off to dinner Polite so I don't have time to do my homework here,but one of the conditions agreed to is the imposition of that really regressive religous law...they love to enforce....dammit getting older sucks...Oh well by the time I get back,someone will have supplied the term.

Status: offline 		Politesub, did you read the story I mentioned?  I didn't provide a link, because I'm kind of busy at the moment.  But it's been all over the major news sites.  Why should I respect a culture that takes a young, Romeo and Juliet-esque couple out and executes them for being in love?  I refuse to respect a culture like that, and I don't give a flying fuck if they respect my culture.  I don't want to negotiate with people like that, and I don't want to make peace with people like that.  I want people like that to be erased from existence.  I find it unbelievable that anyone would think we should reach out to scumbags that perpetrate and encourage these kinds of acts.

Absolutely. Not executing lovers for eloping is merely a little cultural peculiarity of ours. Everybody knows it's perfectly alright to kill people for any reason. Thanks for reminding us.

Slaveboy, Here! Here!
Polite, I don't want those scumbags to respect my culture, I want them all dead!

Sharia,is it? well thanks slaveboy.
Polite as for respecting anothers culture...isn't this more a case of a bastardization of a culture.Speak to me about respecting Islam,one of the worlds great religions...and I can accept and even champion that.Speak to me of respecting the many contributions Islam's adherants have given to the world ....no problem.But is is it really necessary for me to respect every wacky offshoot of a particular culture or religion.We have some fundamentalist's in this country,nominally christians...who I don't care for at all.And in now way at all could ever respect.

I think when we're talking about executing people who have harmed no one, one brush fits all.

I live by the Ten Commandments.  (You know, though shalt not kill?) Muslims should as well, since their religion is essentially an extension of JudeoChrisitanity.  Unfortunately, the madrassas teach a corrupted Islam that is bizarre and does not value the Mosaic Law.

To use the same brush to paint everybody who believes in Islam as rampaging murderers is wrong - as Steven says, the murderers that you mention preach a version of Islam that is absolutely not followed by the great majority of Muslims.

Let's not generalise, shall we? We all know where that leads.
