Extremism on either side leaves little room for a middle ground of sanity and common sense. There are exclusive positions that negate such a possibility. Inclusive positions too can have their problems when they absorb other differences, leaving little room for distinctiveness. We need a starting position, and we cannot avoid beginning from where we are, within our own perspectives and commitments.

However, especially in a multicultural, plurireligious society like ours, it is a problem that cannot be wished away. For like it or not, we are all in some way involved. In today's surcharged context of minoritybashing and anticonversion laws, of majoritarian politics and minority votebanks, the issues implied get more explosive everyday. Sooner rather than later we must grasp the nettle. But if discretion is the better part of valour, then besides courage we will need discernment to disentangle the
