Sorry, I wasn't comparing the Faye Turney situation to the one Lampman highlighted, I was using it to make a point about different culture's views.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not condoning it at all.
Sharia Law or anything like it has no place in our society.
Muslims/their literature should not be scapegoated for such atrocities however.
Christians go by the commandment 'thou shalt not kill', yet in the same publication we see that Abraham was more than ready to sacrifice his son
to prove his faith in God.
It's scary what people will do for their religion as the world is ever more aware.
Sorry for wandering a bit!
