Look I'm not against you, I'm not against Islam, I'm not against Muslims, and I believe that all cultures are just as important as the next, but I draw the line at killing people for selfish reasons. Because we are not gods, we are simply people, and people are flawed in many ways, even in their minds, for a great many reasons. People may know what they believe, but no one knows completely, why they believe, at least not with any understanding that would allow them to objectively look at themselves, and see ALL that has caused them to believe, in every nuance of that belief. For instance one such bit of knowledge tells me that if you and I had been switched at birth, yet been exposed to the exact same experiences that the other has, in this current life, we would largely believe as the other currently does, such that I'd be there saying as you have, while you'd be here saying as I have, as each and every person on the face of this earth, is a product of their environment. Understanding this, it is easy to see that the only life one has TOTAL DOMINION over, is our own, as that is the only one that makes any sense to each of us, such that as much as we can, we can only account for that which we are individually. It is impossible to crawl into the mind of another, and know what they have encountered, that makes them what they are today. If someone does something that is objectionable to us, we have no way of understanding the full reason as to why they did so. Something in their individual life's experience, may have compelled them to do as they did, and it may be due to a trauma that they have, as yet, failed to fully understand, such is the human mind. It's not a matter of simply being obedient, who wants a slave in their wife, anyway? We have a modern pop/rock song in the west that says, "I want you to want me, I need you to need me, I'd love you to love me." This is what everyone should want. Who really wants to force someone to want, need and love them, really? It really can't be done. If they don't, it's best to let them go so you can find someone that does, and so can they, sure it's not easy, but it's the only thing that's fair! And in the end, it always makes one stronger. Them not wanting you, does not necessarily reflect upon your inabilities, but most often reflects upon them, so there really is no shame for the one that still wants to try, but that does not mean that the one that no longer does, is truly at fault either, they can simply be mixed up, confused, and not really of a malicious nature. No one deserves to die, just for being confused.
First of all , I absolutely agree with most of what you said , specially in point that no body can claim that he has the right to end somebody's life in any case except for self-defence as you said in a previous comment .
as each and every person on the face of this earth, is a product of their environment.
This is what I said about our eastern culture and nature . You can say that our way of life is not as openable as yours , we don't have the same level of freedom in our culture .

I disagree in this point . I personally have objectively looked at myself and at my religion . I compared it with other religions and I spent some years looking for the truth on only mental bases without any influences of the religion I was born with or that one written in my I.D . I tried to find the truth myself . Do God exist ? Who is the creator ? If God is the creator , Where did God came from ? Why did he chose no to be seen ? .. All those mental questions that go around in the minds of atheists and minds of people who simply don't believe in any religion . I was neutral as much as possible . Then I started to read the Quran book and all my life changed for many reasons . So I think all people should make a stand with themselves and think generally about life and it's meaning .

I agree with you but this case is different . I mean if my wife comes and tell me that I don't love you and we can't continue life together . I have no problem and I should get out of her life quietly . But betrayal is different , deceiving is different .
