Once again; I question what is normal; and what is the extreme. In our news last week; they revisited the case of the 15 year old girl who gave birth out of wedlock and threw the baby in the trash.
I am apprehensive to judge an entire culture based on the fantastic news stories we receive.
Now- having said that I have heard from humanitarians about some of the terrible things they have witnessed over their; like a lack of women's rights. To me; this may be no more than an Afgan parallel to them hearing of a group called the KKK burning a man on a cross because of the amount of melanin in the person's skin.
