...principle here. The message of Jesus was always to ignore the stereotype, the label, the identity--in order to observe the soul beneath, how a person actually behaves. One of his most famous parables was that of the Good Samaritan, a man who belonged to a group despised by mainstream society. But it was the despised man who did good, while all the superficially respected people walked on by. Jesus consorted with all of society's undesirables--with tax collectors, collaborators with an occupying power, former prostitutes, lepers. His message was that God's grace knows no boundaries of stigma...
...Generation Wants," Charles Krauthammer wrote about the alienated young Arabs in France and their prospects for assimilation and success [Nov. 21]. I was startled by his assertion that France needs "the kind of self-reformation that America [had] in the 1960s, when it finally began welcoming African Americans into mainstream society." Is he forgetting the 1960s riots, led by unemployed and disenfranchised blacks, that engulfed the U.S.? I don't call that self-reformation.

...going to a riot-torn area and calling the residents "scum," as France's Interior Minister Nicholas Sarkozy did? That should be political suicide, but Sarkozy got away with it. As a French citizen of South Asian origin, I would say that callousness represents the state of affairs in mainstream French society. Unlike the Anglo-Saxons, who have a penchant for politeness and political correctness, the French have no inhibitions about crudely stating their reaction to events. The country needs to get rid of its outmoded approach to race, immigration and integration. Gautham Venkata-Chalam Ottawa It is an illusion...
...have found skepticism about evolution running high in the United States. One poll, conducted by the Pew Research Center in July, found that only 26 percent of Americans believe that humans evolved by natural selection. That process is the foundation of Darwin’s theory, universally accepted by mainstream biologists today...
