ya, i read those; and it seemed so to me, too. again, i am not the guy to respond here, but i can say that i witnessed that their tv is much less violent than ours--or at least it was. also, the people were much less violent in general; their responses to others, etc. perhaps wii might enlighten us there, but in the absence of that i would reiterate that The Beginning of Surahs condemns violence in any form, word or deed, and that that is overriding. Again, possibly a purposeful conundrum, so that premises may be revealed? dunno. The Psalms advise you to bash babies heads in, too.
