The Middle East's Culture of Cruelty- Things remain the same.
Reader comment on item: Caught on Tape: The Middle East's Culture of Cruelty
Submitted by Rollin (United States), May 15, 2009 at 11:53
The culture of Islam remains the same, violence is used in every situation and even one that would be better corrected by other means. The punishment never fits the crime. Compare this to waterboarding, and the left should not really call Waterboard interrogation torture, but more psychological persuasion.
Islam hasn't learned a thing over the centuries, and they continue to make more enemies because of their violence. They have never learned to have patience or compassion, and continue to show their religion is totally repugnant to the civilized world.
