And another thing....

As some of my dissembling commentators know perfectly well, I'm not in the least concerned with private behaivior. To clarify for the morally clueless: Are you, personally, prepared to give up drinking alcohol; if a woman, to cover yourself from neck to ankle in public; if gay, to go WAY back in the closet; or, if unmarried, to give up public displays of affection? Well, are you? And those are just the things that offend moderate Muslims.

Why is it that people who have insisted on making a human rights issue out of the public display and public acceptance of their lifestyle at all times and in all places regardless of the offense caused are suddenly so reticent when it comes to Islamist sensibilities? Just a coincidence, I'm sure.
