Relativism

Submitted by Octavio Johanson (Italy), Apr 21, 2005 at 18:55

The West is relativist: there are no absolute values.

That is why Westerners can do business with Hamas and other Islamic organizations.

If such organizations belonged to a non-Islamic religion, our Western condemnation would be undivided.

Political Correctness, anti-racism, human rights and relativism are all assets for Hamas.


If Hamas kills, it is just part of their culture and we have got no right to judge them. If Hamas was not Muslim, we would be less afraid to say what we think.

I am sure that there are a lot of honest Muslims. But there are also people who do evil and we cannot support them.
