But I haven't checked if we have an ethics section yet.

My problem with ethics is that they are relative. Each culture has its own code of ethics, and it gets more complicated if we joined religion to the mixture.
Such unified code of ethics does not exist, unlike human rights.

i.e it's a different cup of tea to everybody.

Well, I used to be a moral realist ........ and when I say "used to" I mean yesterday. I am currently experiencing a lot of doubt and trying to figure out what I believe.

One thing I find curious, though: your religious views say that you are a Muslim. Aren't all muslims moral realists because they believe that Allah decides what is right and wrong?
