Does Mr Phillips’ implied relativism mean we should adopt an attitude of supreme indifference to some Muslims’ insistence on cousin marriage and thus congenital deformity? That the attitude of some Muslim men towards women (Muslim and non-) and the subsequent harm done to the wellbeing, freedom and happiness of those women should simply be accepted as “seeing the world differently”? That it’s not reasonable to at least ask whether all the Muslim women and girls who cover their face and hair do so entirely freely and without coercion? And what of the fact that some Muslims are sympathetic to and even engage in violence in the name of their faith?
