Cultural Imperialism

Instapundit » Blog Archive » RICHARD FERNANDEZ ON JORDAN’S KILL-EM-ALL APPROACH TO ISIS: There are no more knockouts in intern…: "I think concerns about human rights and international law are cultural imperialism. ISIS’s behavior, and the Jordanian response, reflect the culture of the Arab world. It would be as insensitive of us to impose a western culture of lawyers and human rights on the region — or even to employ one there ourselves — as it would be to serve bacon at a mosque. Because no culture is any better than any other, and who are we to say that killing everyone in an enemy held city and building a pyramid of skulls outside is wrong — for them, or for that matter, for us?"
Oof.
