And then probably in the old testament, when God ordered the Israelites to wipe out their neighbors entirely and leave noone and nothing alive.
I would assume there are other examples I can't think of right now. Like the Spartans killing their own children for being weak or countless examples of warriors raiding villages, during which they probably killed a lot of innocent women and children etc.

It probably didn't hurt their honor a lot if it was for a good cause/benefitted their side. And this guy probably believed he was doing it for the good cause, too.
Raids with the purpose of killing women and children don't rate the term "civilisation". From agriculture onwards, having additional hands, especially non-threatening ones, helps whatever the equivalent is of the economy. Even nomadic cultures adopt captive children into their tribe. The only logical example might be a hunter gatherer tribe scratching out an existence in hard circumstances. Tell me, in which way does the UK resemble these?

If we go by your arguments and look for the most primitive cultures around that practice killing women and children, then the reciprocal answer would be to eliminate the threat to us in the same way. Not that you'd really condone that of course, except to snipe at us from a distance like you always do.
