On that topic, can anyone explain to me why democrats tend to be very pro-women's rights, but very anti-talking about Islam and it's horrible treatment of women? Of all the contradictions that our political parties hold (and both of them hold many), this is one of the most striking and odd. Is cultural relativism a higher good over the rights of women to read a book without being doused with acid?
you're comparing caricatures to ideals and then attributing the failure to the ideals
