Also, I find the attacks on your use of the word “Westernization” frustrating, not because everyone is assuming that human rights are inherently Western (which is an insult to humanity), but because, other than you, they’re pretty much assuming that human rights don’t matter.

They’re perfectly happy to agree with you that rights = western. Then they reject rights.

Bah!

Well, some people are so obsessed with the idea that all cultures and religions must be equal in every aspect that they don’t even explore the possibility that some cultures and religions might have even bigger problems than others.

To reverse a good mythological adage, they pick at the mote in their own eyes while ignoring the planks sticking out of the eyes of others.

However, I’d like to point out the weird irony of these EDF members wearing silly masks in protest of the extremist segment of a culture that oppresses half their population by making them wear silly masks.
