Having stuck my neck out to free the Iraqi people from a thug of monumental evil, and having shed a little of my blood in so doing, I get a little tired of these people expressing their unthinking hatred for anything that does not conform to their way of seeing things to the extent of murdering their own countrymen (in several unrelated countries even) because of an alleged "descration" of a book. The facts of this happening are in serious doubt and the victims of this hatred gone wild were not even remotely involved.
When I was reading for an MA in comparative law several years back I recall that one seeking fairness sought an equitable remedy. The maxims of equity held that "One who comes to Equity must come with clean hands". Yet, I recall from my undergraduate history courses the dismal record of the Ottoman empire in atrocities and desecrations of Christian shrines to the extent of at one time using the Holy Supelcre as a latrine! The Arab record in WWI and the decades following is likewise pretty awful. It sickens me to constantly apologize to degenerate barbarians while they claim an absurd position of "moral superiority"!
