I don't like it ... where was it? Oh yeah Yemen. I can only note once again that you've found 'something' you don't like from your perspective about a foreign culture that you don't understand, and are trying to imply it makes your case against a billion or so people that you look down on from the beer barrel bandwagon. (sober up dude) OK I might get really outraged if we could say that is a really screwed up outcome of one of our world's justice systems that offends all other justice systems of the world. If it was the exception to the rest I would say lets all agree to do something about it. I'd still kind of like that. However, brutal pedophiles, get released and walk the streets of America by the thousands, by our justice system. We do manage to bust bad guys here but most get out after short sentences. Do you think we are so much better than Muslim countries that you want to make that comparison. In a one year period, not atypical: Rapes by country – Nation Master USA = 89,100 per year … QATAR 12 per year nationmaster.com Assaults by country – Nation Master USA = 2,238,480 per year … QATAR 327 per year nationmaster.com Murders by country – Nation Master USA = 12,658 per year ... QATAR 1 per year nationmaster.com Prisoners by country – Nation Master USA 1,787,500 per year… QATAR less than 1 per 100,000 nationmaster.com That's one year not too long ago. Multiply that by twenty to estimate the numbers just since 1987. If you really care about what you are ranting about you will leave America. Happy trails and have fun with your new life in the desert of Qatar. <sarcasm> We know you were just hoping for another straw for the bigot camel's back. Maybe someday your kind will get your next world wide genocide. Maybe not.
