Moral relativism

Moral relativism is something that has always upset me and this week I finally found a way to make my point. The concept is based on different countries having different customs and cultures and we must allow for these differences. I used the made-up extreme example of some country where babies were thrown up in the air and impaled on bayonets. As ridiculous as that is we found out this week that a group of Muslim extremist have kidnapped 276 girls teenage girls selling them off as wives for $12. Among the reasons given by the kidnappers is that girls should not be allowed in school. Get out your moral relativism card and tell our government that this affair is none of our business. Tell them that this is the custom in this country and they have the right to choose their own values.
