How 9/11 forever changed me, or maybe I would have changed anyway.

One month after the horrific 9/11 my job transferred to an east coast ivy-league university.  I was going stark raving mad in my new city whose “progressive liberalism”  finished in me what 19 pissy Arabs started.  I felt like Eve in Eden, ready to bite that serpent on the ass and get kicked out of the liberal utopia hell.

The relocation denied me

".....evidences provided by the Taliban and al-Qaeda proving that some cultures are evil and much (sic) be destroyed to save western civilization."
I do believe Hitler used the same argument to destroy a whole bunch of "civilization" and various, assorted civilians who actually make up "civil-izations" and had the unfortunate luck to live in some "civilizations" he decided were evil and needed to be destroyed to save German/Aryan "civilization."
You're entitled to your opinion and your politics. Unfortunately, history isn't exactly your strong suit. I'm not being critical, just simply stunned at the lack of knowledge from a person who allegedly has a "Higher Education."
Wow. And you PAID for this "education?"
No doubt, you will screen all replies. With this evidence of ignorance, I'd be screening as well.

You are confusing culture with ethnic groups in your very old knee-jerk and thoroughly inaccurate Hilter analogy. Under the rules of multiculturalism that claims all cultures are right and should be protected, the Nazi culture would then be allowed to flourish and spread. Do you even know or understand the definition of multiculturalism and its implications? How about the slavery culture? That was wiped out during a little thing called the Civil War. Slavery is as old as human history but even you should agree that ending that culture was a very good thing, it helped save the American union and its civilization. Some cultures are bad, period, and it can’t be allowed to survive or else civilization is threatened. The Nazi culture was a very real threat to the modern world civilization and frankly, it need to die

That is a good point, that culture =/= ethnic group. I think many people (myself included) think of them synonymously so I was slightly taken aback by this post. But you've made a great point with your diplomatic reply to the rude comment above, and agree that the terrorist culture is evil. I also completely agree regarding rape culture.

Here’s another example maybe even you can understand that culture = NOT an ethnic group or a religious group of people or band of purple haired people. Rape culture. What is rape culture? Glad you ask. I bring you Captain Awkward’s (google her, it’s totally worth it) brilliant easy step-by-step manual
