The English did this once, in the days of the raj in India. They banned the practice of suttee: ie. the burning alive of widows of men that had died. Mark Steyn wrote about it in his book 'America Alone': the British commander that ordered the ban stated that 'if you build the pyre to kill the widow in accordance with your traditions, we'll follow our traditions and build a gallows to hang you right next to it.'
We can only hope that the West can muster up the courage that it once had to stand up to evil, regardless of its 'religious' or 'cultural' cloak.
Exactly.
