1. Do people think its fine - or just think we can't invade a country to change their laws?

2. Oh, some there are arguing that it is good because there are problems in the

west too, you know, therefore caning women for drinking beer is ok.

6. That's not accurate.

Nobody said it was "good" or said anything positive about it at all. They didn't say "it's good ... because we as a nation do worse." They said "it's bad, but we're not in a position to point fingers because we as a nation do worse."

If anyone anywhere in that thread said anything positive about caning anyone, it must have been in an invisible font.

8. I'm just commenting on your misrepresentation of facts here.

Fact: nobody said it was good, nobody endorsed it as policy.

4. Some people?

Looks more like just one (two if you count the one supposedly being banned). With one other poster pointing out that technically anyway the law is gender neutral. Not exactly an endorsement of Sharia and the poor treatment of women in many countries where it is practiced.

10. No-one in that thread said anything at all like that...

And the person in the thread that warned you how easily OPs like yrs can turn into Muslim bashing fests was spot on, though usually I'm figuring there's not going to be any rational discussion in anything once those *religion of peace* words are spat out...
