Right now some of the most despicable horrors ever inflicted on man (and even more on women) are being defended vociferously by their perpetrators under the mantle of diversity of religion and culture.

Women in Iran aren’t choosing their dress and covering their faces, hair, or heads as a matter of “feeling free”. They are forced to, or risk having their bones broken, being mutilated, killed, and or raped.

Increasingly in the UN, the Lilliputian autocracies of this planet are mounting very effective campaigns to enshrine “tolerance” of their tyrannies under the auspices of “culture”. Claiming “cultural” or “religious” underpinnings for their oppression they are able to escape sanctions, criticism, or even questioning of these horrific acts. What kind of acts are they protecting? Stonings, amputations and mutilations, honor killings, political/religious persecution, slavery and servitude, genocide, infanticide, and the general enslavement of women. Oh yeah, I forgot cannibalism, and interminable savage internecine war.

Even here in the US people are working to replace our system of justice and civil rights with Shira. In once Great Britain there is actualy serious debate about running parallel systems of Shira and Common law. And their notions are beyond criticism by reason of “Diversity”. They have been masterful at maintaining and even expanding their oppressive traditions under the guise of “Culture” and “tolerance”.

People need to wake up, there is good diversity and bad diversity just like everything else. Celebrate that. We should send in the Marines, and free the poor serfs of those regimes so they can clamber into the 21st century. So they can know the liberty, and humanity all people deserve. Think I’m kidding, ask the Haitians if they wished the Marines were still administering their country like they did in the 1920s?

For my money the best thing about “cultural diversity”, here or anywhere else, is the food.
