Whether this man's actions stem from a deep-seeded primal instinct, as you say, to dominate the female and assert ownership, as humans, throughout many different cultures and countries, we have created laws to which we adhere to in order to maintain civility and peace. Primal instinct or not, religion or not, if we are to follow the laws that are dictated by our countries, then what this man did was unlawful. It is not brainless stupidity to assert this opinion. In America, murder is against the law and cannot be justified by 'primal' instinct or religion. Mitigating circumstances as well as insanity defenses are considered, but murder is murder and it is punishable by the law of which country you reside in. What exceptional knowledge of this specific case leads you to think you have more brain power when it comes to understanding motives of this man's actions?
???? You have torture prisons, you kill more people than probably any other country [and thats before we even count the murders by invasion] You sell 50% of all arms in the world, support dictators and consider the "price is right" if 500,000 children die of starvation from actions taken by you.
The veneer of civility is thin in all societies. Its why there is so much noise over one beheading where the man confessed and is charged, but when 500,000 children are killed from preventable causes, no one even musters up an opinion.
SAM, just out of curiosity, does that provision include when a husband throws acid in his wife's face ?
What was the sentence given?
Sorry, but imo anyone that beheads someone else should be prosecuted for murder unless it was in self-defense (which I highly doubt).
Same with acid-in-the-face, prosecute the offender.
You think everyone should be under one legal system? Sign up for the ICC.
