I don’t claim people with a different set of values are hypocrites and I don’t believe I suggested otherwise. I do embrace diversity but within the confines of my core beliefs. So it bothers me not one bit that someone thinks eating pork is bad but it does bother me that women are forced to wear a hijab. I do get to define what is acceptable to me. You get to define what is acceptable to you. To me mandatory hijab is asinine and I don’t care if that view offends 1/4 of the world’s population. No reasonable person can be for things that are antithetical to their core beliefs.

> I do embrace diversity but within the confines of my core beliefs. Then you don't "embrace diversity." You're like the rest of us--you find your own culture preferable, and you'll tolerate certain things from other cultures but not other things. The hypocrisy comes from claiming to embrace "diversity" in and of itself, while insisting that the bounds of acceptable diversity is based on your beliefs. > No reasonable person can be for things that are antithetical to their core beliefs. You don't have to be for or against. "It's none of my business" is also an option.

  It is my business morally speaking when women are forced to wear a hijab. Men who enforce that odious practice are discussing human beings.

    That escalated pretty quickly from "embraces diversity" to "western moral crusader."

      It is not “crusading” to point out things that I view as morally repugnant. Nor is it as odds with being in favor of diversity. Diversity does not mean accepting things that are morally repugnant. Things like female genital mutilation, marrying 9 year olds, and in my case mandatory hijab. You too have your own views on things you view as morally repugnant and those views are not necessarily in contradiction to being for diversity. Obviously on the hierarchy of acceptability one does not reasonably put diversity as a greater cause than opposition to the things we find morally repugnant. That you can’t see this is a failing on your part.
