At what point does the "culture excuse" go away?

Asked by DominicX (28808points) July 14th, 2009

We are tolerant of other people’s cultures to an extent, but how far will we go?

Couldn’t it be argued that oppressing women is part of the Islamic culture? Should we excuse it because “it’s just their way of life”?

This is not meant to be inflammatory. I’m genuinely curious as to what you all have to say.
