In fact insubordination is routinely rewarded with death. For instance if a daughter dates an unapproved person, then they may be "honour killed" by her father and brothers, to maintain the "family honour" (patriarchy). Also leaving Islam carries the death penalty, as does being homosexual -- again often kangaroo court does them in. Even adopting a different unapproved variety of Islam, can carry severe penalties including death. As exemplified by Sunni's killing Shiites for practicing Islam in a different way. > but fails to raise smart children, or regulate population in an > acceptable way, so there is a LOT to learn and understand - and add > to correct its shortcomings.
