So you would be ok with a Canadian facing a flogging in a Asian country for spitting gum on the sidewalk (Think its the Phillapines), or a Canadian facing life in prison for carrying an ounce of drugs in the same country?

Also, its not like the Afghan system of justice is not corrupt and is religious based and not based on a common rule of law.

Plus it doesn't sound like Islamic courts recognize mental illness as a defence, what if this guy is certifiable or suffering from PTS?
