I got used to Melvin's obsessions with muslims and Turkish people : )
Oh really? Maybe you should elaborate on that a bit more. It otherwise looks more like a deliberate (and pathetic) smear ad hominem to conveniently ignore my arguments:
I did not show any "ethnic" bias, in fact if you would have bothered to read my other posts in this forum (which you should have for making such a general assumption) you would have understood that my point transcends by far your kind of babyish identity politics (a certain ethnic group good/bad etc.) by scrutinizing its premises.
The rest of your comment simply shows that you did not understand the points I made here at all and that you decided to opt for either lazy, stupid or even sinister moral relativism. Did you really mean to say: "as long as there are neofascists in western Europe who throw stones at gay pride parades it is ok to shoot gays on open street in Istanbul"? or "as long as the catholic church campaigns -peacefully btw.- against gay marriage in Italy and Spain we should ignore muslim fundamentalist violence against gays in Bosnia and Turkey as well as laws threatening gays with death in most countries of the OIC?". If so it rather shows that you harbour double standards, not me.
Crime and violation againist LGBT rights, is a problem of humanity and therefore all countries. We must cooperate in this sense.
Indeed, this is so true it is meaningless. (a truism or "tautology") What counts is that some countries are better than others in protecting civil liberties and the reasons for this (Why don't you compare the cited amnesty international reports of Britain and Germany with the one of Turkey?). Those more "citizen-friendly" states are usually the ones where civil society and enlightenment values are stronger after a long and successful struggle with dictatorial, reactionary and totalitarian forces: national-socialists, fascists, religious fanatics and militarists to name a few.
This fight made the "modern&western" world modern indeed, to belittle this and to insinuate that we should ignore the unequal "availability" of Human Rights around the globe (and in Europe) and its cultural and societal causes for the sake of alleged "cooperation" (how and in what can we cooperate ignoring the problems?) as you did means to capitulate before the enemy (I repeat: nationalists, fascists, religious fanatics etc.) by burying our head in the sand. This is as far as I know fortunately not the stand taken by most of the activists in the field whose work you quoted in a rather confused attempt of hiding the argument in a forest of links.
