There's a difference...

between tolerance of others and tolerance of injustices. I don't think anyone who says that being respectful of other people's points of view would condone any of the actions of the Nazis, Ku Klux Klan, or repressive and violent governments. The people who do those sorts of things are intolerant of the people and their cultures even though they are benign and not threatening to the other group. People who say peace may be achieved through respect are saying by respecting, understanding and loving people different from yourself, the violent actions born of intolerance and ignorance will be avoided. In no way do they think that the beliefs and actions of violent groups are acceptable. They are, for example, not saying "I respect antisemitism", they are telling the antisemites to look into the Jewish history and culture and to see Jews not as only Jews but as people, first and foremost. You're viewpoint of this attitude seems to be flawed...

Good music though.

Interesting.

An interesting take on the viewpoint of radical pluralism. While certain cultures might have practices and beliefs that are intrinsically harmful to themselves and those around them, to condemn them as inferior would be much like condemning a smoker, a crack addict, or someone with dangerous superstitions as an inherently inferior PERSON.

True, it's important to point out that these actions are harmful, and it would be good to try and help the person to stop them. But if you begin to think that a person's actions somehow make them "un-valuable" and inferior, then you have forgotten the more important half of "hate the sin, *love the sinner*."

The way to peace is not to simply say that "everything is good" when it (obviously) isn't; but when you are working toward peace, you should be working not toward MAKING the other person good, you should be working toward what will benefit THEM.
