Road to Sharia
Reader comment on item: Symposium: Turkey: The Road to Sharia?
in response to reader comment: Rape and Mid Easterns
Submitted by Enver Ethemer (United Kingdom), May 14, 2009 at 18:08
I was not disputing what other men was saying but I was disputing his absolutist and his determinsitic approach of assigning labels and grouping people according to their country or region of origin and ethnic background
Do you think we can be such reductionist in our conclusion on an issue like rape? are we not inciting hate and create factions when we are planning to act civilised? I do not think civilisisation especially western civilisation has nothing to do with discrimination or anything that causes exclusion?
