I don't know I just gave my opinion isn't that what we're supposed to do here? Just because I say it doesn't mean I think it's a fact.

EDIT: Wait, you probably mean my cultural perspective. Man I'm getting paranoid. Anyway, I suppose if there are things which one culture deems unacceptable, they may/may not be right in using their power to protect an individual from certain elements of another culture. When it comes to human rights, should they not come as a top priority?

Why is this news then? A judge made a ruling within the confines of his laws. This happens all the time.

I'm going to take the Laissez-faire approach to this one, while yes... the idea to me is truly abhorrent, I don't live in Saudi Arabia, so the best I can do is shout "Hey, thats Pedophilia, and Pedophiles deserve to be strung and quartered!" but the likely hood that they're going to listen to some western infidel with slightly Christian views on any matter is about as likely as the Grand Ayatollah wanting me to sit down with him and read to him about the life of Jesus Christ. (Not to mention Christians don't exactly have the best track record when it comes to sexing up pre-pubescent children...)

So I have to shrug, say "thank god that isn't my child" and be on my way... its weird to me, but oh well, I'm not an Arab.
