CHAPTER

Double Standards in Religious Extremism

This chapter explores the contrasting societal responses to religious extremism, focusing on cases like the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints compared to similar issues within other religions. It critiques the moral panic surrounding personal narratives of abuse, and questions cultural relativism while arguing for universal human rights. The discussion emphasizes the complexities of power dynamics and the historical context of cultures to advocate for a reassessment of liberal values across all societies.
