There is nothing cut and dry:
is the person in the crowd stoning a woman to a slow and painful death virtuous behind the cultural curtain ?
Or part of a religious exploitation? Or part of a political exploitation ?
- FreedomToCreate 10y agoIt may not be cut and dry but you do people a great injustice if you blanket there beliefs and values held over generations as acts of religious or political exploitation. People have a choice, and they can choose the change if they want. Freedoms arose from people choosing to do so. And yes, if they have a strong belief in the hadith and the local cleric has ruled that there person is an adulterer and proves 4 people witnessed it (not hard to due in corrupt regimes anyway), then why wouldn't you feel virtuous while carrying out the punishment given by God.
- otempomores 10y agoThose believes manufacture the circumstances that lead to atrocities. Enough of this chicken egg blame game
