See, I don't care what religion it is -- this attitude is crap. A multi-cultural society *must* remain secular at the core. |
Also, such a move could further incite prejudice and hate crime than tolerance.
And speaking of hate crimes, nothing is more potentially offending than this school textbook in India, obviously written with an extreme vegetarian slant (the author's name -- too damn phony to be Indian -- is probably a pen name stolen from a Filipino national on Facebook):
Quote:
The chapter details the "benefits" of a vegetarian diet and goes on to list "some of the characteristics" found among non-vegetarians.
"They easily cheat, tell lies, forget promises, they are dishonest and tell bad words, steal, fight and turn to violence and commit sex crimes," it says.
The chapter, full of factual inaccuracies, refers to Eskimos (Inuit) as "lazy, sluggish and short-lived", because they live on "a diet largely of meat".
It adds: "The Arabs who helped in constructing the Suez Canal lived on wheat and dates and were superior to the beef-fed Englishmen engaged in the same work."
