In response to this post, Jason of Shock & Blog e-mails:

How is it that when Christian parents complain about such books, they are at best politely dismissed and at worst attacked as intolerant bigots, but when Muslim parents complain, schools can’t bend over backwards fast enough to accommodate them? Is it because people fear violent reprisals from Muslims more than from Christians? Or is it just a matter of the “secular” schools actually being against Christianity specifically instead of all religions in general?

It all goes back to the Multicultural Hierarchy, which dictates that actions can’t be judged without knowing on whose behalf those actions are taken.

Therefore, an action (such as removing books that offend some religious sensibility) can be considered fascistic when done at the request of Christians, but the exact same action, when done in the name of Islam, is considered a sign of tolerance and understanding.

That’s because Christians rate higher on the Guilty Oppressor scale and lower on the Victim scale than gays, who apparently don’t rate as high in the Multicultural Hierarchy as Muslims do.

Of course, the hidden story here is that gay rights activists have been silent. Is the gay community content with suddenly playing second fiddle to a constituency that places higher in the Multicultural Hierarchy? Or, as Jason suggests, are they just afraid of inciting a community with an outsized proportion of members who’ve shown a propensity to commit murder over far more trivial matters?
