Against the Backlash

To the Editor:

I am somewhat disturbed (though not surprised, hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area) at the backlash against Noah Riner '06. A respect for religious diversity should not have to mean that Christians should censor themselves in public. I think that, had Riner instead espoused the virtues of Muhammad, Buddha or any other religious figure, he would be applauded for doing his part to mold the '09 minds to appreciate and respect traditionally non-American cultures and religions. But talking about Jesus!? As a Christian!? Now that's just offensive!
