Swami Vivekananda often used to preach that tolerance for other religions was not enough; that the duty of anyone believing in the brotherhood and sisterhood of all beings was positively to bow down before the faiths of others.
True enough, the Latins are a very passionate people. However, I don't see a categorical difference between their en masse protests of "Je suis Charlie [Hebdo]" and those of other nationals in Islamic countries marching under banners of "Death to America" and the like. In the case of both Western and Islamic nationals, more moderate and wiser voices are buried by the tumult of the masses when tempers flare.
To keep this Opening Post short, let me sum up:
MY HERITAGE is not worth two cents if it does not respect the vital values of other peoples. As the Prayer Book sayeth in the Collect for Quinquagesima: ALL OUR DOINGS WITHOUT CHARITY ARE NOTHING WORTH.
