Wonder why when more people seem to be humane and nonviolent than not. I think not letting the violent escape punishment is the key. We need to unite to ensure our politicians and the judiciary bring the violent to justice.Khoty Mathurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706537182743683089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230035528177800562.post-17252882848493194702012-09-23T15:50:16.575+12:002012-09-23T15:50:16.575+12:00These days there are all kinds of atrocities commi...These days there are all kinds of atrocities committed in the name of religion. And when somebody from outside that particular religion criticizes those acts, the whole religion feels threatened and then they have to try to tell people that all other faiths are inferior. And there's a whole new conflict. <br />I feel opposition/changes should come from within each religion. And right now it feels like that's a lot to ask for. :( D.Nambiarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14567504529129900396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230035528177800562.post-36822947719849342782012-09-21T11:11:12.642+12:002012-09-21T11:11:12.642+12:00Thanks, SibiThanks, SibiKhoty Mathurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706537182743683089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230035528177800562.post-3377172984052027302012-09-21T11:10:02.796+12:002012-09-21T11:10:02.796+12:00Here's an interesting post on the same subject...Here's an interesting post on the same subject. http://bigthink.com/daylight-atheism/thoughts-on-the-embassy-attacks Khoty Mathurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706537182743683089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230035528177800562.post-67369935223058548672012-09-19T04:18:01.788+12:002012-09-19T04:18:01.788+12:00Freedom and tolerance are complementary and supple...Freedom and tolerance are complementary and supplementary to each other. Total freedom is a myth. Similarly, people would become intolerant sometimes. For men, the grievance in this context would be, that they are being discriminated. They say 'what is that we can't see'. I think it would have been better the organizers avoided that exhibit in a common show. (It is not similar to a case where we make certain restrictions for minors).

Hopefully some women of the west who saw the video might understand that Muslim women are just like them - enjoying dressing up etc. In a way the objective might have been self defeating as not allowing NZ men to see something so ordinary would appear strange to them anyway.
