Some people believe that there is some innate universal sense of right, or 'natural law', but understanding Islamic culture proves that this notion false.
For example, most of us believe that pedophilia is wrong no matter what. We feel that this is an obvious 'wrong' but in Islamic culture, Muhammad married a 9 year old (he was 53) and thus Muslims defend pedophilia although they quibble with the word 'pedophilia'.
I cant tell you how many Muslims insist that "when a girl his her period, that the time for her". Actually, the Islamic haddiths dont even distinguish a girls period as the minumum age...essentially, if a Muslim man marries the poor enslaved child, then he may do the dirty with his newly aquired property.
Consider murder and violence...in Islam, murder and violence makes the most sense when done for religion, in the west its the opposite.
When you see how different Islamic beliefs are from others, you see there is no universal sense of 'natural law'.
