It does not apply to other people who are from different cultures and process life differently.
Now, to be clear, I have travelled a lot and come into contact with many different cultures and I don’t begrudge anyone their culture except those cultures that have as a specific aim the extinction of mine.
There are different levels of that animosity too.
So, while potentially muslims want to make the whole world Islamic, and their culture and religion expressly lets them do so by the use of violent force, in that respect, I certainly don’t see them as friendly and am all for religious segregation of the highest form. They don’t permit Christian places of worship in their lands and that’s fine, as long as we too don’t permit mosques in our lands. And I’m happy to follow their rules if I visit their lands, and they need to be made to respect ours.
It’s really a simple, fair, and just concept that every normal human being possessed of a normal, functioning brain can accept.
Of course, convinced Muslims will believe it is not fair or right, since Islam must win. And there’s the rub. You see what is normal and fair to you and me, is not so to a vast number of people that would be happy to see you and me go extinct.
So, despite all the fairness and justice in your and my way of seeing things, we also need to apply logic. And logic dictates that we should apply fairness and justice only to those people who also treat us fairly and justly. Against the unfair and the unjust, we are to give no quarter, no mercy, no compromise and we are to keep them far from us and anything we care about.
Now please note that even supposedly esteemed and highly intellectual types of a specific culture, simply do not process things as you or I do.
Let’s take an example:
Say you see a member of your own ethnicity and let’s say even general acquaintance break into a total stranger’s car and stealing things from it or the car itself. Would you hesitate at all to call the police (assuming the police in this ideal and utopic example are decent guys who respond appropriately and not failed thugs that need government approval to be thugs)?
If I would it’s only because my sense of civic duty is such I would be making a citizen’s arrest myself (not hyperbole, I have stopped a number of criminals without second thought, long before even thinking of contacting the police, which, in about half the cases were pointless anyway) but otherwise, the ethnicity or level of supposed acquaintance I have with them really doesn’t come into it at all.
Note now, the position of this high intellectual instead:
I could guess from the title alone that the writer was almost certain to either be Jewish or non-Caucasian. And on reading the name of the writer, I really had no need to google his image, but here it is for relevance.
Now, as I said, I don’t begrudge the man his opinion. Not at all. But I would request that he immediately relocates himself to a country, nation, and people that think and believe as he does.
His way of thinking is not the standard European way of thinking in the vast majority of cases and certainly not a Christian perspective. He is certainly entitled to live the way he prefers where people who have more melanin content can commit crimes without any fear of legal repercussions. And I am sure he would then not be ravaged by the guilt he is experiencing in living among a people, that like me, find his opinion and concerns at minimum bizarre and honestly quite absurd and dangerous.
So, Kwame, please, feel free to move to say the Congo, or Some other African country that takes your approach to things. Perhaps Zimbabwe? Of course, you might end up being discriminated against for not having enough melanin in your skin, but it’s a small price to pay so as not to feel guilty, isn’t that the very philosophy you’re trying to foster on me and my people?
Your Culture is only Yours

So go on, buddy! Lead by example!
