Why do non-Muslims need to be tolerant of Muslim values, but the reverse is not required?

 

Tolerance is a Western concept. There is no such thing as tolerance under Islam. Pluralism is a similar, but not identical concept to tolerance. There becomes a conflict between pluralism and tolerance. Because the West is tolerant, we are pluralistic. We say that we do not reject other cultures, therefore we will allow them to exist alongside ours. Thus even though our culture developed under Christianity we accept Muslims as equal citizens. But then Muslims, newcomers though they be, immediately begin making demands on society at large because existing Christian mores amd practices "offend" Islam. Now the non-Muslim Westerners have a choice: Do we accede to the Muslims' demands or do we insist that each group is free to live as they choose? It is the Christian who merely wants to have a stuffed pig toy on his desk at work. It is the Muslim who insists that a stuffed pig toy on any desk in any workplace is an offense to Islam. As obvious as the solution is to this "dilemma" still the leftists are paralized.

Why should they?

'We did not seek advice from the force's diversity adviser prior to publishing and distributing the postcards. That was an oversight and we apologise for any offence caused.'

 

That pretty much sums up where we are today.

A few years ago the news was about a Florida woman who lost her job at an Arab owned company - because they found out she had brought a BLT sandwich to work in her lunch. Last year the news was about a Texas farmer whose family had worked their land for a century - but was told to stop raising pigs by the members of a new mosque had just been built nearby. The farmer told them to stuff it. Wonder which side the ACLU would choose to support.

the king of the leftist is here but he's flumaxed as normally he'd be up there defending the muslims if only they were not homo haters. paralyzed is very apt.

I didn't realise there were any Scottish muslims! There weren't any when I lived there.

 

 

i didn't see white nightgowns during my Bonny Scotland holidays in the late 80s.

You could exchange the word muslim for the word christian and the statement would still hold.

Exactly, they are all the same in my book, a bunch of self righteous pukes who want all of us to conform to their standards, fuck them all I say.
