Trojan Horse debate: We were wrong, all cultures are not equal
[The Telegraph] Unfortunately, the great lie underpinning the creed of multiculturalism, as spouted by Francoise Cerrah and her ilk, is that all cultures are "equally valid". Well, patently, they're not. The reason irate Pakistani patriarchs are not chucking bricks at their errant daughters in the Birmingham Bull Ring is because Britain has a basically uncorrupt police force, a robust judiciary and an enlightened, hard-won system of liberal values that regards women and girls as equals, not third-class citizens. But instead of standing up to barbarism and ignorance, too often we have looked away in embarrassment or fear. How many teachers have averted their gaze when 13-year-old Muslim girls suddenly disappear from the classroom to be taken "home" for a forced marriage, because this would present unwelcome evidence that some cultures are less valid than others? The two paragraphs above are excerpts from the thought provoking article. Posted by: Besoeker 2014-06-12 |
