9. Take a pick
A lot of women in Jaurez would probably happily tell you about how dangerous it is to be a women in their CATHOLIC country.

And it wasn't that long ago that our own culture went bat shit over a women showing leg or

And what about Turkey? Hardly a beacon of humn rights but yet they don't' do what you describe.

So are we supposed to separate the good Muslims/arabs/ from the bad ones? OR shoudl we just kill them all? (and alas, that isn't hyperbole. More then once I was told that arab/muslim treatment of women was justification to bomb a arab country.. thus killing the very women that were being oppressed. So how do I know you aren't doing the same thing when you sound so similar?)

And again what about all those other cultures? OR did you forget wife burning India? and Genital Mutilation in Africa and the Rape camps of the Sebs? and about a hundred other examples.

Again as I pointed out, what happened in the OP has also been done by non-arabs/non muslims. So what's their excuse? IF collective guilt is reasonable and it must be the culture, then why aren't you condemning Austria? Maybe there's something in their culture that made that guy hold that women hostage for years.

Sorry but you can't divide the world into "Good" and"bad Cultures/groups. No culture is without blood on it's hands.
