But again, I think a large majority of Muslims would condemn a system that could have someone severely punished for that kind of thing.

I have no way of intrinsicly knowing what #s or % of Muslims support such a system or not. What I DO KNOW is that Sharia, Islamic Law, which fosters such barbaric behaviour is the norm in most Muslim states. The resident Muslims in those states either support the law and its sick behaviour or are opressed by Islamist fanatics in power over them.

By posting as you did, I think you are fostering intolerance, fear and hatred.

I'd say that he was calling attention to a sick cultural behaviour. Were population dynamics to continue in Europe we might see Sharia accepted as national law in several Euro states (e.g. Holland, France) before this century is half over.

We SHOULD be intolerant of such practises. Instead, we in the West pretend that such behavious and other issues like slavery do not still exist in many parts of Africa and on occasion even in the US*.
