What the hell's the matter with us that we're too gutless to can't stand up for the truth any more ?
IF some bunch of yobs on a train assaulted a group of Muslim women, wouldn't we stand up for those women ?
More difficult for many people to make a judgement on, I'm sure, is the hypothetical scenario of Muslim men assaulting Muslim women on a train - would we say, 'Well, it's their culture (and all cultures are equal) so we shouldn't interfere', or would we say 'Piss off, you mongrel bastards, leave them alone.' ?
Oh, such moral dilemmas for the thoughtful classes, our rightful moral beacons. Gutless wonders.
