John - Christian Fundamentalism is not a culture, its a religion.

I'm not sure if hubris is the correct term. Judging other cultures by the norms of our own culture is called ethno-centricism. It means that our judgement of other cultures is biased by our own cultural perspective.

Women have demanded equal rights in our society and the government agencies have helped to make it so. Those human rights belong to women of all religions but only in the nations who have made it law. Don't confuse government with religion or culture.

There is no Muslim culture. Islam is a religion. There are a variety of Middle Eastern cultures. There are Kurds, Persians and Arabs to name a few. In some countries (Iran) religion and government are one in the same. Thats an example of why its important to keep governments secular and separate from religion in a healthy multicultural society.
