of all groups, never be offended? Is there any other group which has this special never-to-be-offended status? Christians? Hindus? Scientologists? Jews? (ha!) Lesbians? Clowns? Bus Drivers? I can’t come up with any. All the rest of us in this imperfect world have to put up with all sorts of crap that offends us, and we put up with it in the knowledge that we can damn well offend people back. But not, apparently, Muslims – not when it comes to matters concerning their beliefs. And it’s become more and more apparent that there are a great many things about the West that offend them – indeed some, most notably their self-appointed spokesmen, are pretty much full-time professional offence-takers.
And the only reason I can think of why Muslims might be accorded this special status is that a portion of them will resort to threats and violence whenever they’re offended. Simple as that, really.
