Respect by outfitters is only "earned" in tolerant cultures- isn't THAT ironic. Integrity doesn't mean squat in cultures like the Taleban. I'm sure they will be happy to stone women who refuse to garb themselves "properly" on principle. Cultures like the Taleban make martyrs out of people who stand on principle. You have to blow someone up to become a martyr in the West- because we're pretty tolerant. I have very little respect for most people- and I doubt very much whether you understand any of my views. You say you do, but when you post it is very clear you don't. You think you are an out fit, but you are far more conformist (and predictable) than you realize- imo, yada yada.

Respect among out fitters is earned by standing on principle when it would be easier to just go along and fit in. It's called having integrety So what do you think would happen to a person of integrity undert the Taleban government? I find it very amusing that you will excuse the most contemptible behaviour simply because it is being perpetrated by your fellow Muslims, and then turn around and denounce the idea of moral relativism. You're as much of a moral relativist as X, probably more so.
