Sunday 12 February RNW - NEWS AND ANALYSIS FROM THE NETHERLANDS IN 10 LANGUAGES, WORLDWIDE 24/7 ON RADIO, TV AND ONLINE
Hiram 1 December 2009 - 7:49pm / usa
"It's our common obligation to define a world where ethics rule and close mindedness cease to exist.".....Ethics can be defined as "a set of moral principles.".......Question to you, Mazhar: "Who is going to set what is ethic and what is not? Islam says that women must wear Burqas. Is it ethical to suppress women in this manner? Is it ethical to cut off a person's hand if they steal? In Europe, they, the populace (by their laws) states it not ethical to execute people who have murdered innocent humans but at the same time find it ethical to abort/kill babies or euthanize people who are severely depressed. Who is determines what is morally good for the world? Our elected leaders like Wilders, Chavez, Castrol, Blair or the Pope in Rome are the ones who will do it and they are just as debased as the rest of the world. {Mazhar, you are right about our obligations but it will never happen.
