Primitive? Evil? Perverted?

What can you say about people who would call for a teacher's execution (and would probably carry it out themselves) for naming a teddy bear "Mohammed"?

So they'd kill someone for naming a teddy bear the same name as half the kids in the class, but they'd be fine with someone executing their own sister for adultery or blowing themselves up in a bus?

Perhaps there is no "they", perhaps it's just a crazy few people who do each horrible act but we shouldn't try to collectively brand a class of people...

But then is there any point at which you connect the dots and draw some conclusions — about religious zealotry, about educational systems that allow people to grow up with such beliefs, about governments that tolerate this behavior or these teachings? This isn't about being politically correct. Screw that. It's about doing the right thing and calling this kind of phenomenon, and the much larger abyss behind it, by their name: primitive, evil, and perverted, and the list goes on.

It's the people who teach their kids such beliefs, who tolerate or encourage or act out such beliefs, who think there's some excuse for this behavior or thinking, that are the problem. Or maybe the problem is that sane people aren't likely to grab sticks and swords and go into the streets to protest, the same way the nuts do. But I would hope that we can at least sharpen our mental swords, see this evil for what it is, and make sure we both shape our foreign policies accordingly as well as ensure we don't cultivate this disease in our midst. Let's not be silent, polite, politically-correct lambs (again).
