Fatou's self-righteousness stinks

Dear Dr Pipes, after not reading the discussion around reader Fatou for many days, I finally read some of it. In this letter of hers, Fatou justifies her living in the Western society as a superior being and without adopting local customs. Her self-righteousness stinks.

Can't Fatou see the turmoil in almost all Muslim countries? Lack of democracy? Murders on live TV? 9-11? Over-population? Polygamy? Illiteracy? Poverty? Dismal contribution to science, thought, and the arts? Never ending wars that run for centuries? The culture of violence. Wow, the list can go on and on.

Question your righteousness, dear Fatou. Things are not that hunky dory as they seem to you.
