I often think that same thing about our Judeo-Christian framework. There are many things that we do not know about some non-Christian cultures which are sometimes lost is the lure of the exotic. India has a big problem with murder of wives who cannot pay their dowry. They are doused in kerosene and set on fire and this is chalked up to a simple kitchen fire. Callous. Then remember the old practice of forcing the widow to throw herself on her husband’s funeral pyre.

To: cradle of freedom

Now we have honor killings (and Muslim polygamy) in the US; they had a fire a few years back in NYC in which various children & women died, and it turned out it was like a 3 family house in which one Muslim West African had different wives (with their respective broods) living in each apartment.
