I don't think we will ever be that far ahead of the Dark Ages, we will always keep our instinctual lust for violence and power within us, and even though most of us might overcome our instincts, there will always be times when our civilization returns to the Dark Ages, and even when the rest of us are civilized, there will always be parts of the world which won't escape the Dark Ages.

Thank god we dont have mechs and space ships...... sounds like starwars to me..... I mean, things would get NASTY if we had like stuff like the death star or Ion Cannons. My philosophy right now on the subject- Build 1 space fighter, fight an army of 'em.

I think that not only is it some instinct of violence, but that when peole get power crazy, for some bizarre reason they think they have to flaunt it to show the world, proving how often the leaders of such groups are just insecure pathetic people who think they have something to prove.

I have some stuff to add to this. This next thing I am about to say, does not include all of the muslims...just those sickos that you preveiously mentioned. To prove my point, Lebanon allows women to wear skirts.
Anyway...the Telaban members were allowed to have up to 4 wives. These wives were be virgins at the time of marriage. The night after the marriage, the man is to hang the sheet out in public so that the blood stains can be seen that he is the one that took her virginity. If a woman is found not to be virgin, the Brother of the man is responsible to see to this girl's execution.

Thus was the fate of a poor 19yr. girl who was wed to a Teleban leader, recently. She did not stain the sheets, therefore she was taken the next day to a public field, and after several minutes of kneeling on the ground, was shot three times. She was lucky. Some men drag the woman through the streets, naked, and other such brutalities until death occurs. If these dummies had any type of education, they would understand that a virgin may not bleed much, or that the tissue does not have to tear on the first attempt. Obviously, I am betting alot of women have died, being accused of something they did not do...which makes their death even more sour.

This sort of thing happened in Britain and Europe as well in times past. Education is the key, as you say, and many do not/did not have education, especially regarding female anatomy. They did not/do not realise that some women have next to no hymen, and that many strenuous activities can rupture the hymen of a virgin girl. But religions - both Christian (in the past), and Islamic, as well as some others, regard women as unclean, sensual creatures who are bound to go after sex at the first opportunity, so they are/were only too ready to believe that a woman who did not bleed was a sinner deserving of death.
