There is such a thing as evil. It bears no relationship to any particular race or ethnicity, although, quite frankly, religion and politics are the professions most likely to attract those afflicted with it, as from these perches might it strike with seeming impunity.
Teddy Kennedy is pure evil. Iranian President Ahmaddumbass takes evil to the highest level imaginable, being both religious AND a politician. Something happens to the brain chemistry of a developing human being, when at an early age he or she is indoctrinated into certain persuasions. Hitler was evil. So was Stalin, and other, living examples of pure evil may be found in Cuba, South America, Europe, and the Middle East. Africa? Yep. There too.
But the evil we focus upon today is of a religious bent, courtesy of His Majesty:

A court in Kristiansand, southern Norway, has sentenced a man to 120 days in jail for beating his teenage daughter with straps and a metal rod. The beatings were sparked by her admission that she no longer was a virgin.
The 49-year-old man, who emigrated to Norway from Iraq, claimed he’d done nothing wrong. He told the court that he was “much kinder” than many other fathers from his culture would have been.
He claimed most other men would have killed the girl, instead of “just beating her.”

Uh huh. Evil has made it's way to Norway, too. Where the hell is Hal Jordan when we need him?
In brightest day, in darkest night,
No evil shall escape my sight.
Let those who worship evil's might
Beware my power, Green Lanterns light.

Is the evil the father who beat his daughter or the judge who only gave him 120 days in what is almost certainly a country club of a prison?
From what I understand, Lem, Norway is becoming quite the mecca, strike that, haven for Islams finest and is bending over backwards to be fair to such a different culture. WAY over backwards.
Hard to believe these dudes were warriors once.
