Just Who Has to Adjust in the Name of Tolerance? by Phyllis Chesler The Investigative Project February 19, 2015 Print Send RSS Share: Be the first of your friends to like this. Brookings Institution Center for Middle East Policy Fellow Shadi Hamid recently criticized the West as "illiberal" for refusing to accept the fact that Muslims, both in the West and globally, are different from Westerners.

For example, while a 2009 Gallup poll shows European Muslims overwhelmingly reject violence, they are far more religious than those who live in secular Europe (France, England, and Germany), and are more strongly opposed to homosexuality than are secular Europeans. In addition, young, second or third generation European Muslim men favor veiling for women, polygamy, the execution of apostates, and favor prohibiting Muslim women from marrying non-Muslim men. » CONTINUE READING Related Topics:  Anti-Semitism, Islam, Media Bias
