it could be?

-- Mike, Norwalk

So, here's the same, old, tired cultural equivalence idea again. We are taking away someone else's freedom and isolating them if we don't allow them to interpret reality through their own beliefs: for instance beat their wives, rape the un-burka'd woman, cut the throats of non-believers, send suicide bombers to kill infidels. Some cultures are better than others. Some ideas, interpretations, or thought patterns, are indeed evil.
