The difference is, this is sanctioned and a part of their religion, though customs such as these should have disappeared in the same manner that
stonings and various things should be never occur in this world in this century, and all nations should be free, all governments/courts not tied into
religion, with a strong global human rights and equality, safeguards, health and dental, and children protected, from sexual exploitation and arranged
marriages, without repression of their rights to express themselves, have friends with both sexes and not alienate anyone, with protection agencies
that take action. Not like being tied to a chair and buried alive, like happened to one little girl in the middle east who dared to talk to a boy so
a horrendously betraying honor killing killing took place that was absolute betrayal of the safe trusting love of a child/parent and any mother of any
culture who stood by and allowed this was committing such a crime, I would died protecting that child, all the women there are forced to stand up to
their abusers and protect their children, it would be such a massacre of righteous innocents, but I wouldn't last long in that country because
speaking up, is one of the things I do, and to protect a child.................!!!!!!!!,
Now there is a culutural element to why some areas or regions, perhaps more than we realize, haven't grown up from this centuries old tradition. But
it needs to be looked at and brought out in the open, just as the Church and its hidden problems do. Face it squarely.
