Diversity is a hard sell because it confers no benefit in itself. You can make a zoo more diverse by adding the Ebola virus. If the left wants to encourage openness toward those of other cultures, it should focus less on promoting diversity and more on promoting common humanity.

Gurindoor @G_S_BhogalReplying to @JuliaErrensI didn't liken any humans to lethal pathogens. I prefer to discuss ideas rather than people, and used ebola/zoos as a counterexample to the assertion that diversity is *necessarily* a good thing. I don't view, say, Muslims, as viruses, but I do regard things like FGM as viruses.3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

Funny you did not talk about Christianity and FGM in the same sentence, even though FGM worldwide is spread almost evenly between Muslims and Christians.

Maybe look at more than 1 country that is majority Muslim. Such as the numerous Christian majority countries where Christian women are victims of FGM.pic.twitter.com/iboIv1obLj

Overall, far more Muslims are subject to FGM than Christians.

Not really. Overall, it is almost evenly spread. Worldwide that is.

Not true. Again, read this in-depth study:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4064295/ …

Why should I restrict myself to a study from Burkina Faso and ignore UN surveys and studies from dozens of countries?

Because the study you posted doesn't support your assertion. It shows that FGM is still more prevalent among Muslims.
