You can always put a corporation out of business...you can never bring back the lost life of a woman or child beaten to death, shot, or used as a shield by a cowardly soldier in his fight to keep the abusive man in power...you pay more to reverse the damage done to the children when they are turned into killers, addicts, wife beaters, whatever, as a result of the abuse they suffered growing up with it...you don't allow a legacy of hate to pass on to the next generation as something that is acceptable.

This whole idea that due to religion or culture it is acceptable to allow women and children to be abused and treated like slaves is garbage. That we should be "understanding" of radical Islam and the sensitivity of the male/woman relationship is the kind of mindset that allow's abuse to continue. It is never ok.
Oh and I don't care if it is a Iraqi or Bob down the street. If it is religion or caused by substance abuse.
