What I did bring to light is that not turning a blind eye towards something and championing a position on something you believe in strongly is no different than Fundamentalist Christians and Mulsim faiths also imposing their belief structures upon others. At some point there is the ground to agree to disagree and leave people to live their lives as they see fit.
Looking back at American history, Southern states didn't see slavery as immoral but as a lifestyle that provided an economy of living, thus they could not understand any wrongdoing or immorality. We wax nostaligic at the American forefathers forgetting or even not knowing that most of them were slave owners.

Ah okay, then I misunderstood where you were going with that, and I know you didn't say anything about killing people, but I just too the example to the extreme simply because we are still talking about serious sexual and physical abuse of children, so I used Gacy to make a point. But in all of this abuse, there have to be situations where these children are murdered. An herself thought she would be killed.
And even so, because people don't believe something to be wrong doesn't make it okay. In the Southern States example, while I know there was more to it then just opposition to slavery, it was a big part of the Civil War that ensued. So in that case, there was an injustice that some people didn't see as one due to culture, and that led to action to change things.
