Lets suppose another government ruled Afghanistan... prowestern government and one of the laws of the country say that adultery is punishable...(in a less barbaric way).... would you still accept this? Its the law dude? You have capital punishment no? Dont you inject bad people to death?
Few Middle Eastern countries punish adultery also... in different ways.... prison terms..... in couple of countries... they still stone them to death. Some of those middle/eastern countries are considered friends and allies of the US?
My point is... its the law of the country..... if they punish you for adultery...then take your girlfriend and go **** elsewhere. I agree that the ideology the Taliban uses is extreme.... and anti-modern..... however, should a legitimate government (elected) and also say pro-western... decides to have laws punishing adultery .... I have no problem with that. Why should you?
Adultery is acceptable in the west, however, you have to understand that in Muslim countries.... not only the government but the people themselves are against it since their faith prohibits it. So, many M/E governments have laws against it.
I dont have a problem with stoning rapists and paedophiles though.
Oh and for your information.... even after the fall of the Taliban, and under the current Karzai pro US government.... many women still wear burqas.... and tribes still punish the adulterers amongst them. Its the way of life of the people.
