100,000 Protestors... Angry mobs of students...

Personally, I doubt I could adjust the moral-lacking society I proposed hypothetically. I was simply trying to illustrate a point about morals not being absolute. We as humans decide what is moral. There is no morality in nature.

But now I'm curious. Were tens of millions nazis, slaveholders, machete-wielding genociders?

What about the case of Abdul Rachman? He is (if he hasn't truly escaped) likely going to be executed for converting to Christianity where that's the moral standard in Afghanistan. If the Afghan muslims truly adopt that morality (rather than being complicit with in under threat of death), then who are we to say it should be otherwise in their society?
