Quite, and agreed. Basic decency, centred around respect for others and taught by the golden rule of treating others as you'd have them treat you, is a universal human trait. Any belief system that violates this as brazely as that his culture is based on should be criticised.
Sadly such things are, apparently, racist.

I don't doubt there are attitudes like this out there (a democracy means all views including those we find offensive and repugnant are permitted to be held) just as we get groups on our streets demanding Sharia Law in the UK, they're clearly the minority (wanting a country to adopt a theological idea is one thing, trying to take action towards it are two very different things) but exactly what Britain First and the like will selectively 'report' on when we need another round of immigrant-bashing.
