I HATE in every imaginable way all cultures that do this, and all who apologize for them or accept it.

I believe if I lived in Britain, or any number of other European countries at this point in time, I would be a right winger. I would not want people that do this to girls in my country at all.

The Europeans are fighting battles trying to save their own humane cultures that we can't comprehend. It makes me sad when so many all knowing liberal MEN here in the US act like this sort of behavior toward females is just a cultural preference, like maybe eating curried rice for dinner or wearing a particular scarf or hat.

I believe in human rights before the rights of religion, culture, or tradition. If that makes me not a "good" liberal, so be it. I've been told over and over by people how I can't really be a liberal because I feel this way.

14 years isn't enough, people who do this should be tried for extreme human rights violations and sentenced to live. If this isn't a human rights violation, then there are NO evils that rise to that level.
