Multiculturalismo

Puede resultar muy poco políticamente correcto decirlo, pero creo que no debemos engañarnos más. Estas son las cosas que directa o indirectamente defiende tanta gente de una enorme sensibilidad social en Occidente, tantas feministas, activistas de los derechos humanos, intelectuales y otras almitas torturadas:

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." Irish statesman Edmund Burke's words still hold true three centuries later.

Right now, good men and women are doing something crucial: raising their voices in outrage, trying to save the lives of Nazanin Fateh, Malak Ghorbany and many other women just like them.

Fateh, as of this writing, awaits retrial for murder in Iran. Young Nazanin killed a man in self-defense as a group of men attacked and tried to rape her and her niece. During her first trial, she reportedly said: "I wanted to defend myself and my niece. I did not want to kill that boy. At the heat of the moment I did not know what to do because no one came to our help." (Presumably, because this is Iran, where Islamic sharia law rules, had she allowed the men to rape her and/or her niece -- the victims -- could both be facing possible execution as adulterers anyway -- in the name of a perverse conception of honor.)
