res- Given that we have that history, it's important that educational institutions do as much as they can to reduce intolerance against Muslims.
What the NEA is unwilling to say is that all cultures are not equal. Because, in order to say that, they must come to the conclusion that some cultures are better than other cultures.
Radical Islam is a culture unacceptable to freedom loving people. Radical Islam attacked America and killed thousands of innocent people. Radical Islam is at war with America. Radical Islam is also at war in the Philippines, Indonesia, Algeria, France, India and elsewhere.
The world is being confronted with an absolute culture of hate, characterized by international terrorism against civilians, and religious intolerance. This culture of hate has scattered the seeds of terrorism from one end of the earth to the other. This hate, which suppresses freedom of thought, and condemns differences, calls itself "Islamic jihad." It draws on religious texts whose interpretation other Muslims dispute. Those moderate Muslims who challenge their interpretation of jihad, have their lives threatened, or in some cases are murdered.
An act of jihad terror resulted in the slaughter of nearly 3,000 innocent civilians in New York, on September 11, 2001. None of these victims were guilty of any crime. They were murdered and mutilated out of hate.
The NEA should have the courage to teach the truth, or bow out and focus on other important issues.
Some cultures are simply not equal to America's.
Some cultures should not be tolerated at all. |
