Islam is an arabic invention - an ahw separation from the arabic` soul. That is why honour killings, corporal punishment, polygamy and other characteristics of Arab culture are to be found in all areas conquered by Islam, as they have been recorded in the Koran with God's word. Culture has been exported along with religion and language and has therefore spread throughout the Islamic world. Furthermore, it is, of course, just an old-fashioned macho culture, which is, as it were, rigid in its faith, and which unfortunately cannot be changed.
