Since when did slitting a young girl's throat become a litmus test of cultural tolerance? In what alternate reality does such an act fall into the realm of the acceptable? So where is the line to be drawn? If a society practiced dragging their retarded kids behind buses until they disintegrated into fleshy lumps of goop, would we approve of this too on the basis of respecting their "cultural practices"? What about if they threw all their ugly, hunchbacked, unmarriable girls into vats of boiling acid? Copout indeed.
