Fair enough. I'd say there is some sort of middle ground with that statement.

"Within the next generation I believe that the world's leaders will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience."

But since she's a maid, and the master's filthy rich... I predict blood money, which sharia allows, would settle it. |

That's no different than settling out of court etc (for us over here).
Still, it shouldn't even get to that point obviously. |
