French leftists refuse to accept the fact that while the 1791 Declaration of the Rights Of Man and Citizen say we’re all created equal in the eyes of God - Western values define it.
Indeed, that doesn’t mean all values are equal. They can’t be. The values of the Enlightenment aren’t incompatible with Islamic values, period.
And we’re in danger of losing the heritage that gave us our modern freedoms.
There’s egotism in those universalist Enlightenment formulations about the rights of man because they drastically underplay man’s limitations and fallibility. If we were more in touch with traditionalist wisdom, the radical degree of cultural mixing that we now experience would be less of a thing.
