It's just another perspective

I was sent an article from the American Thinker, "The Equivalency Fiction: No, Not All Cultures and Religions are Equal." I highly suggest reading the whole thing. It is very well written and makes an excellent point: "In the name of the principle of tolerance, we embrace the notion that principles don’t matter." In believing that all cultures and ideologies are equal, there is no way to distinguish which ones are harmful. From the article:

We have been cowed into believing that any recognition of unpleasant truths involving a culture or religion not our own is to descend into bigotry. Thus, like the three monkeys, we hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil. That is, unless that evil can be ascribed to the one group where casting blame gratuitously harms our cause, and that group is us.
