Religious discrimination is not like racial discrimination. One you choose for yourself, the other God chose for you.
In a racist society it is not enough to be non-racist, we must be anti-racist.
To cheapen the lives of any group of men, cheapens the lives of all men, even our own. This is a law of human psychology, or human nature. And it will not be repealed by our wishes, nor will it be mer...
