Alien vs. Predator: What can crush 'Savage Love'?

Welcome to the world of Dan Savage. For those of you who have never heard of the bloke he is a syndicated sex-columnist and the author of several books. In his column he usually address issues such as whether taking your partner's piss can be harmful to your health or the immanency of cheating etc. But recently I stumbled upon a discussion of a different kind.

Dan Savage was accused for "cultural imperialism" because
"It is incredibly offensive to imply the superiority of morals in Canada to values taught in Saudi Arabia."

In reply, Mr. Savage was blunt:
“Let me set the record straight: I never meant to imply the superiority of morals in Canada to values taught in Saudi Arabia. I meant to state, loudly and clearly and for the record, the absolute superiority of morals in Canada to values taught in Saudi Arabia.”

Then he proceeds to name all the freedoms Canadians can enjoy vs. Saudi Arabia and finished it with this:

"To paraphrase the United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights, I believe that human rights are universal, man. As Saudi Arabia exists in this universe, I think that the humans there--Muslim or not, liberal or conservative, male or female, gay or straight--are entitled to their full human rights. Until that day comes, SOS, I'm going to go right on thinking that Canada kicks Saudi Arabia's ass when it comes to morals and values. And bud."

I found the whole issue fascinating, amusing and very indicative of the most important trend in Western society: the clash between secular pluralism and cultural relativism.
I don't know the identity of the reader who tried to chastise Savage. Perhaps, he was of Arabic descent (though "Ich don't think so"- Ali G©). Most likely it was a zelous leftie who spotted him breaching the PC rules - you can insult and mock the Christian right all you want, but it's a different matter if you do the same in regard to "the Other". But at this point of time, Dan Savage didn't have to think twice to be so straightforward and dismissive. But were he in Europe (in Britain for example) that would have not been so easy.
As Mark Steyn has pointed out in an excellent column a while ago:

"..when free speech, artistic expression, feminism and other totems of western pluralism clash directly with the Islamic lobby, Islam more often than not wins."

Right now, it's still possible for a liberal like Savage to criticize Saudi Arabia (a conservative doing the same would surely be assumed to have just proven how the right are 'rasist'.) Furthermore, Savage was smart enough, though intellectually dishonest, to compare Saudi Arabia to Canada, rather the U.S. (oh, right, I forgot - the land of the free is under the onslaught by the religious fundamentalists).
His another fallacy is the assumption that only the “fucked up brand of Islam” constitutes the problem. I am positive that no modern Islamic culture, however moderate and progressive, would tolerate the "Savage Love" for a second.
I can say with a degree of certainty that it's not America's foreign policy and her perceived or real misdeeds that make many people in the other parts of the world to feel contempt towards the West. That's what the Left believes and it's total ballonies.
99% in the third world would cringe in disgust, had they been told about Savage's column. It would just reinforce the long held belief that the West is a morally corrupt, 'rotten' place.
I don't know what about Dan Savage’s views would be more outrageous to them: his talk about piss or the suggestion that cheating is like that death - "it's gonna happen to you sooner or later."

“I believe that human rights are universal, man. As Saudi Arabia exists in this universe, I think that the humans there--Muslim or not, liberal or conservative, male or female, gay or straight--are entitled to their full human rights.”

I cannot agree more with you, Mr. Savage. It will be even more ironic when you finally find out who’s really after you.
