What impulse prompted some newspapers to attribute the murder of 77 Norwegians to Islamic extremists, until it became evident that a right-wing Norwegian terrorist was the perpetrator? Why did Switzerland, a country of four minarets, vote to ban those structures? How did a proposed Muslim cultural center in lower Manhattan ignite a fevered political debate across the United States? In The New Religious Intolerance, Martha C. Nussbaum surveys such developments and identifies the fear behind these reactions. Drawing inspiration from philosophy, history, and literature, she suggests a route past this limiting response and toward a more equitable, imaginative, and free society.
Fear, Nussbaum writes, is “more narcissistic than other emotions.” Legitimate anxieties become distorted and displaced, driving laws and policies biased against those different from us. Overcoming intolerance requires consistent application of universal principles of respect for conscience. Just as important, it requires greater understanding. Nussbaum challenges us to embrace freedom of religious observance for all, extending to others what we demand for ourselves. She encourages us to expand our capacity for empathetic imagination by cultivating our curiosity, seeking friendship across religious lines, and establishing a consistent ethic of decency and civility. With this greater understanding and respect, Nussbaum argues, we can rise above the politics of fear and toward a more open and inclusive future.

Muslim culture is incompatible with that of non-3rd world countries.

*yawn* Yeah tell me all about your ‘intolerance’.
Never mind this link, which shows just how many crimes Islamist ‘refugees’ are committing in Germany right now. Notice how the map is pretty much entirely covered? How about how many of those incidents involve the sexual abuse of a child?

No, right we’re not supposed to talk about that because that Norway managed to finally get a mass shooter. Throw at ALL the evidence and blame it whitey.

Yep, you’re as bigoted as they come; Straight “”From the rostrum of the Reichstag.”
Thank you, Anansisan, for your many contributions to this community.

@x not an argument, honey. Since you’re so quick to call others bigoted, do you just as quickly call Muslims bigoted for forcing their women to wear trashbags over their heads? Or do you find that sort of thing “empowering” all of a sudden?

As a matter of fact, yes I would. However, I’d use “fanatic” since it is the appropriate term in this context. You’re implying that I am using a double standard, which means that you have a preconceived opinion of what kind of a person the commentator is. That’s the very definition of prejudice (bigotry’s dirty cousin). Now that we’re done with the English lesson, let me teach you a thing or two about “not arguments”. The gentleman with puerile name has drawn a conclusion from a statistic on immigrant muslims without establishing a correlation between data. A statistical sin, to say the least. He left that part blank so readers may draw the implied, unfounded inference already embedded in his statements. This inference has no ground in the data itself, and therefor, bigoted (i.e. informed by a bias).
P.S. The first chapters of any book (and I mean ANY book) on logic are devoted to turning general statements into arguments, but you’ve never picked one in your entire life, have you?!

Great book! The usual white supremacist rats in frenzy when their criminal mentality is exposed.
@William,
White western “culture” is incompatible with humanity. You’re a terminal cancer.
@Askatazun,
Muslim women wear “trash bags,” that’s just the projection you primitive degenerate uncivilized subhuman white supremacist mind could come up. The reality is your women are wh0res because your men are weak degenerate dregs devoid on honor, culture or humanity.
As for the rest of you 1nbred ghost faced mayonnaise monkeys, its not a small white world where your BS carries currency.
