Maybe so, but what right do we have to tell them how to run their countries? Do we let them tell us how to do things? Nope. This is a correction in a cultural more that needs to be addressed. That culture can change that only if it wants to. All the outside influences in the world won't do much if they are not embraced by the masses. Until the people refuse to participate in the stonings, or rally to protect those that are to be stoned, nothing will change. We can't make that decision for them, only the citizens of Iran can make that decision.
