Truth, like god, does not need validation by organised human bodies. That is something you westerners really, really need to understand.
Truth is there for everyone to see and experience. Knowledge should not be made hostage to a few powerful authorities, who then go on to distort and fit it into their whims and fancies and agendas.
It is my basic human right to experience the truth on my own. And to talk about it without having it to be validated by the powerful.
What I am saying is something that is the basic human truth. Every person should and can experience that truth for himself. All you need to do is open your eyes.

NOW you sound like a person who is getting there, you are right here: "Truth, like god, does not need validation by organised human bodies."
and here: "Truth is there for everyone to see and experience. Knowledge should not be made hostage to a few powerful authorities, who then go on to distort and fit it into their whims and fancies and agendas."
and here: "It is my basic human right to experience the truth on my own. And to talk about it without having it to be validated by the powerful."
The west fights for all freedoms, ALL, and we fight hard and seriously for equality and the end of tyranny in any form, but we try to do it without punishing others who would be simple followers of the tyrannical because of lack of self strength, or blaming it upon others as it serves no purpose but to make us look petty. Strength in character is something you build from within, from the inside out, not something you wear as armor.

I will agree it IS hard for me to see your pov when I feel that we cannot even agree on a words definition, it does make it difficult to understand each other, the language barrier can be difficult.... but in the end if equality and space for all humans, be they man, woman or undefined is what your truly desire, then I will be patient, but I will not promise to be silent when I feel you are denying basic rights towards any group in order to appease another. Isn't human equality and freedom, in the end, what we all want? I do.
