- Do you have a reference for 'Genital mutilation is common and accepted'? It seems it only occurs in a minority of the also-minority 15% Muslim group, along with male circumcision. Obviously not great, but phrasing is dramatic. - 'outright murder people convicted of certain crimes' - this is commonly known as the death penalty, which many developed countries unfortunately still practice. The phrasing is certainly dramatic. - Certainly agree re LGBT. They decriminalized male intercourse recently (though this is more symbolic since it was never prosecuted) so there's progress - it is still a conservative Asian society but seems like leaning Western liberal over time.
