I disagree. Criticizing or challenging another's group identity, whether by
painting a black dung madonna or in conversation, is perfectly fine,
provided the power relations are (more or less) between equals. Otherwise
its an act of terrorism. The word tolerance does not feature - it is merely
a liberal buzzword used to legitimize the hegemony of the Western middle
class world view.
