In most other cultures, mothers nursing their babies doesn't get a second glance from men or even women. In America, people are grossed out, appalled, such...

In many cultures, women walk around topless. Men don't stop and stare. They don't look at breasts any different than one might stare at your hands.

Modesty is subjective according to culture. In some, anything less that a woman's eyes showing is immodest. In others, all a man needs on is a turtle shell. If you were to tell him he's immodest, you would be seen as highly offensive to him and his culture. If you encourage the woman to show more than her eyes, you are inviting her to be immodest, and therefore offensive to her and her culture.

In Europe, nakedness is everywhere. Not that people walk everywhere in public that way, but their issues with anything of sexual nature isn't as 'shock and awe' as it is here.

Sin is sin. It's not cultural. Fornication and witchcraft aren't cultural issues and shouldn't be compared as such.
