THE SHRINKING SPACE OF LIBERAL THINKING

THE SHRINKING SPACE OF LIBERAL THINKING

The more you appease the easily offended ones by giving in to their 'blasphemy demands', the more do they impose their further demands on you. It is a psychological truth that the ones who are thus appeased are never quite appeased enough to give up on their demands for greater religious and cultural privilege that stand antithetical to modernity, progress and universal  human rights. If in the name of cultural relativism you allow the infringement of basic human rights such as the unhindered practice of misogyny and the curtailment of free speech, you will have successfully taken humanity back to medieval darkness from where with such phenomenal labour of centuries it has to light and life emerged.
