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'.

Interesting. In Britain, pedophilia was pretty common up until a couple of centuries ago... 'Course, they were Christians, so it's alright?
Actually, while it's not a scientific sample by any means, I have noticed that all of the pedophiles who want representation from our office are Christian. We've not had any Muslim, Athiest, Agnostic, or Buddhist pedophiles yet...

The age of Aisha at marriage is an unsettled issue, and the subject of increasing attention in recent years because critics of Muhammad accept the majority tradition that she was as young as nine years old when her marriage was consummated beleive this reflects negatively on his character. There are several hadiths (said to have been narrated by Aisha herself) which state she was six or seven years old when betrothed and nine years old when married or when the marriage was consummated . Other traditional material (hadith, sira, etc.) suggests that Aisha may have been anywhere from twelve to nineteen years old when she married.
Even though the marriage may have been politically motivated, to mark the ties between Muhammad and his companion Abu Bakr, most early accounts say that Muhammad and Aisha became sincerely fond of each other. Aisha is usually described as Muhammad's favorite wife, and believed to have been his only virgin wife. Shi'a Muslims would disagree with this description, regarding it as politically motivated. They adduce the following episodes as proof that Muhammad and Aisha's marriage did not always go smoothly.

Christians divide the world into "right" and "wrong"
Muslims divide the world into "respectable" and "shameful"
this seems a minor difference but it causes a huge Gap between these two worlds.
