While I appreciate Joseph’s position on the importance of connecting and understanding different cultures, I’m left with major concerns about cultures that, for example, endorse stoning homosexuals to death.
I can’t help feeling that the West must present a zero tolerance for this kind of practice and make a strong stand against any country that sanctions laws of this kind.
I don’t feel that it’s wrong for the West to do this, but that then raises the question as to where we draw the line?
