Obviously you don't know much about the subject :2 cents:
Stoning people and burning heretics and witches to death is archaic.
Some of the Hindu tactics of disfiguring women by throwing acid in their face are rooted in a fucked up culture.

Today we mourned the brutal rape and murder of yet another temp worker down here. A vibrant, hard working woman cut down cuz of...I don't even know what to blame it on other than flat out misogyny. nothing 'religious' about it.
On an island with more xian churches per capita than JA (which is fucking astounding cuz otherwise they'd have the lock). I think religion period is bullshit, but blaming that for the crap we inflict upon each other is an easy out. people being awful extends beyond any religion and pretending that the 'west' is some sort of bastion of civility and kindness is not factual. the 'east' has not cornered the market on killing women.

like most of these peeps could even spell the word constitutional. want to take that joke back even as i write it, cuz it's dangerous to write off these peeps and ideas like crackpots when this has happened before. more than once, as ya know.
one of my aunts is of Japanese descent. her parents met in an internment camp in BC. when her dad died a part of his funeral was dedicated to peeps talking about the great shame he experienced, a young man starting out in life and loving his country and being labelled a traitor and threat. he carried that shame throughout his life, even though it was not his to bear.

I hope everyone with intelligence and conscience and ethics does the same. it's not entertaining to dehumanize and serves no purpose that serves people, and I think sometimes peeps forget how easily this occurs.
