Is it even murder? Is canalbalism ok if it is the sole means to keep someone else alive? What if it's culturally acceptable? Are people outside that culture justified in attempting eliminate that practice.

OMG, I actually agree. I was thinking of morality killings, where an adulterous women is burned or murdered in some other way. That would never be accepted anywhere outside the middle east. Certain Muslims condone the practice and even embrace it, yet westerners are horrified.

Dont worry about what others say, if you have a strong opinion then state it, if someone doesnt like it, to fuckin bad.
