Liberal CNN contributorSally Kohn wants to fight terrorism with tolerance and political correctness. <\/p>\n
President Trump demanded an end to political correctness in counterterrorism following the London terror attacks that left seven people dead and dozens more wounded. Kohn took offense at the presidents tweets and fired back, saying that political correctness are, according to her, the solutions to terrorism. <\/p>\n
Political correctness is simple idea everyone should be treated with equal dignity [and] respect. Its not cause of terrorism. Its antidote, Kohn wrote in a series of tweets. When we make political correctness the scapegoat, we undermine values of tolerance and equality that are ALWAYS our best weapon against hate. <\/p>\n
Of course we cant snap our fingers make all current terrorists just become more tolerant and respectful, she conceded. But long term, do we help future would-be terrorists turn toward respect, tolerance, away [from] hate? Or do we become more hateful ourselves?Our values of pluralism and inclusion and equality are under attack. The answer to terrorism CANNOT be to throw away our values. <\/p>\n
Kohn previously took issue with then-candidate Donald Trumps call for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States. <\/p>\n
Kohn claimed that Sharia law isnt a threat because even progressive Muslims adhere to it. <\/p>\n
