I understand your concern and would empathise with the victims. However, it is a personal opinion and viewpoint, complicated by the sad fact that the religion I was brought up with has sancticified it.
But, in a twist, I also value the fact that Islam puts such a great emphasis on compassion and mercy. The sheer power of forgiveness that Islam has allowed speaks volumes and in conrast to other religions it is something to be proud of, really. I just wish that the latter was the case. I can never accept "eye for an eye" ,whatever the compelling arguments brought forward.

Anyway, we have detracted from the main subject, so I will not continue.
