Or how the Arab society which lies at the heart of Islamic culture permits the beheading of people for adultery, or chopping off the hands of those who steal.

What is wrong with that. The Western nations abhor the US for the death penalty. How can a society collectively kill someone and say it is right but a single person is wrong in killing someone else. Isn't taking of life bad always. If we cannot produce life, then should we take away someone's life. Isn't your comment like "the pot calling the kettle black."

Or how Arab men have the right to kill their spouse, or children, should they ever "dishonor" them...

Is adultery and divorce which is much more prevalent in the US than the Arab countries any better?

Hawk, those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
