As far as what is wrong with the human race, I wouldn't give up hope so quickly. These psychos (like the baby killers) are an extremely small fraction of a percentage of the population. Look at the reactions of outrage, shock and outpouring of support in these types of cases. Humanity as a whole is good. It's just so much easier to see the bad. Watch around you for a day and look at all the good stuff happening. It's everywhere.

As for the Islamic extremists and sharia law, it's the way it's been for over a thousand years (?). If you were them, and were raised to believe it was what God wanted, would you suddenly give up absolute and total control over your women? The average people over there aren't the problem - the problem is with the people in power who continue to encourage this retarded approach to life, who continue to encourage hatred and violence against anything that threatens their hold on power, and the problem is with the rest of the world turning a blind eye to the incredibly barbaric and inhumane treatment of woman because hey, it's their country and their culture. Oh, and we need their oil.
