Call me a bigot, but if being a bigot means not being a hypocrite, then by all means, I am a bigot.
Not all of these are from middle eastern. Only one of them are. The others are Japanese, African, Indian and American. (I'm an American)
I don't hate the people, unless they actually practice these atrocities. If they just belong to the culture, thats fine. I just look down on the culture, not the people.

You're not forced to live it.

This happened in my country (but she was accused of adultery) and it was a huge scandal in our community. It's not a part of the culture though, it's a terrorist group doing this.

My country does this. I don't like it either. I've never had it done to me (it's customarily done to young girls). You have to realize that cultures change over time. Every culture has had sexist practices. I think times are changing. Many fathers protest against this act but the decision is ultimately up to the mother and/or grandmother. And these days, it's not happening as much but is still happening too much.

I don't agree with it either. You don't have to hate the culture, just do what you can to encourage change. Change is not impossible you know...

How can I tolerate a culture that glorifies sex, drugs, money, and murder?
I really don't like that but again, change is not impossible.

How can I tolerate a culture where people are not allowed to protect themselves from the government?
See my answer above.


Hating a person because they belong to a certain ethnic group that practices a certain culture is not a good reason for you to hate them. However, if that individual is personally doing these acts, hate them if you want because then they are guilty of those acts. But you can't hate someone for being "guilty" of being Indian or black or whatever else.
 
O.O

You can tolerate them...We must not hate others...

but you dont have to accept their ways or them as brothers.
 
I see a men who is desperately trying to convince a ethnicity of women that they should hate their culture and men based on ethnocentric and grossly false information.
