You simply cannot, in any modern society, discriminate against someone because it happens to be a woman, or throw stone at someone until they die because you didn't like his opinion.

And yet the US is the strongest ally of the worst offenders in this regard, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Women can't vote or drive in Saudi Arabia; heck, they can't even go out alone, and can't go out with a male who is not a blood relative or husband. And oh, even when they go out in a car, they can't sit in the front.




Not to mention that America electrocutes people to death, which may be slightly cleaner than a stoning but not exactly humanitarian.
