Familiar values issue too

Reader comment on item: Paris' Eerily Familiar 1930s Immigrant Problem

Submitted by Ron Thompson (United States), Jan 5, 2016 at 14:58

Interesting parallel from 80 years ago.

Here's a question: how much does it honor Western values to not recognize, not discuss, and not oppose the Values of a belief system which affirmatively rejects the values of the West, especially the core values.

For example, Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Thought, the Right to Disagree, Freedom of Religion (but not including the Freedom to Kill in the name of religion), Man-made Law (that is written and voted on by representatives of the people), Democracy, Gender Equality, and Individuality,
among others.
