"I love the "local" justification on this thread: someone in some other country did it, so no one has the right to criticize."

I agree with you we get a bit defensive sometimes. But wouldn't you agree with me that companrisons normally is part of the solutions ? that we need to compare in order
to understand the size of the problem ?

When you think that we don't consider this kind of behaviur as a shame .. wouldn't you disagree with your self that in GCC this kind of act is considered a big shame and as I mentioned above it is worng and our religion reject it. (as mentioned by spybot that he knows what our religion alllow and doesn't allow).

thx
