Did you read the report?

"Few have any idea they are visiting a country of 330,000 Muslims with no religious freedom, where women can be flogged for extramarital sex and consuming alcohol is illegal for locals.
Islam is the official religion of the Maldives and open practice of any other religion is forbidden and liable to prosecution."
So flogging women for extramarital sex and no open practice of anything but Islam is normal in the Maldives. It's a societal norm to them. If you take those folks where that's a societal norm and transport them to a different society they are then extreme.
What you call the flogging of women for extramarital sex? Normal or extreme? For the western world it's labelled extreme and I'm wondering how people can spin it so that you can then not call it extreme. It appears you (elchivito and others) cannot call it extreme because it would validate the stupidity of the action and make Muslims look bad and you don't want that to happen. Instead you try to make fun of the question- how childish.
