Political correctness

Submitted by Stelios Kampouris, Jul 19, 2012 14:14

Since when are the non-Muslim students obliged to visit a mosque and to recite the shahada? Are the Muslim students obliged to visit a Christian church and to say that only Jesus Christ is the only and true God? Is there any logic in this political correctness? Is there any balance? I'm trying to understand the meaning of political correctness. Are all religions being protected in the same way in England?It appears that Muslims have more privileges in comparison with the Christians.

That nudge, according to independent, reliable and mutually-corroborating sources, has now been prepared by this Axis.

More than half the 306 complaints about torture last year came from Palestinians who had been detained or imprisoned by Abbas's security forces in the West Bank; 11 detainees died in Palestinian Authority and Hamas prisons according to a report by the Palestinian Independent Commission for Human Rights.
