#1 I give Malaysia points for actually punishing people for such things. Hope it's a fine strong person who does the caning, too. Or the wife...

#2 Can you say indoctrination? I knew you could.

This is where ex-lib should step in and explain the effect of what indoctrination has on the developing mind of a child. You can raise a human to believe absolutely anything. Period. Full stop.

It's an impossible situation, of course, but the only alternatives to living with Islam, something they declare is an impossibility, is to:
1) take their children away from them at birth
2) kill them before they kill you

The choices suck. But it doesn't matter - they are forcing the issue and relieving us of the burden of choosing. If only they would adapt and change, the strong suit of Homo Sapiens, but that is obviously a "bridge too far" - they automatically refuse to change anything - after all it's the fucking Literal Word of God. Right. Leaving aside the issue of Arabic vs Aramaic / virgins vs raisins... He sure was busy as hell back in the day. It's been damned quiet since. Now ask me why I'm an atheist - and no, there's no offense meant, just utter exasperation. Sigh.

#5 .com,

fair comments. indoctrination is the pervasive social conditioner, and any obscure doctrine can be internalized and lived with unquestioned fanatiscm given the right environment. in that sense then governments and media should be more responsible.

malaysia is generally a moderate islamic state, and the recent election results attest to a more tolerant and progressive society. in this instance the consequences of the crime was an appropriate judicial response and public distain.

doctrinal truths are not always imediately apparent, still i'm not certain atheism is the answer, BUT, that's the great thing about God - God gives us a chioce, so that's the least we can do for others.

#6 Incredulous, half of the problem is that their "god" doesn't give them a choice, and a lot of them don't think we should have a choice, either.
