Not sure the reason for the example dictators you gave, that also allowed women stoning.... shit even slavery was legal until last year in the UK. Do you class having slaves as OK cos the Brits allowed it?

In many Muslim countries, Stoning is outlawed - isn't that progress?

Does every country in the world have to keep up to Western ideologies of "correctness"? Should capitalism be enforced on the world? Should abortion be forced? Should contraception be forced? Should internet access be policed? Should anything be forced on any one country? No. The people of that country should have a right to stand up for themselves and say what they want.

Christianity forbids condoms doesn't it - what's that all about?

Fuck, aren't there your mormon people (or whatever the hell that religion is) that still allows polygamy and shit. It's not widespread so it's tolerated. How can that be tolerated in a developed world and how is that any different at the source from other religions? You brought up stoning as an extreme example, which did exist in christianity. So muslims are delayed in development in that extreme sect... I have never seen anything telling me that public stoning is "accepted" by muslims, or else why don't we see 250,000+ gatherings for stonings? Muslims make up what, 20% of our planet - if it's all ingrained hate, be fucking very afraid.

I'm not at all.
