Re: The Last Straw
A very sensible observation Gayle of something which can get out of hand very quickly with two sides of an argument raging when there was no real argument there in the first place. I notice how the Granada news was keen to interview angry young muslim men offended by what they perceived to be a non-muslim's dismissal of something important to them.
I can imagine the scene:
Jack S: Would you remind removing your veil when we speak?
Muslim woman: No, I don't mind at all.
Jack: Thank you very much
and they continue to talk
/or/
Jack S: Would you remind removing your veil when we speak?
Muslim woman: I really prefer not to.
Jack: Oh, alright, as you wish.
and they continue to talk
Not exactly material for anarchy and WWIII is it?
