18th December 2007
Anne Applebaum of the Washington Post reacts to the Saudi woman who was sentenced to be whipped after getting gang-raped.
“A court in country X sentenced a black man who had been severely beaten by white men to six months in jail and 200 lashes.” How would you react if you read that in a newspaper?
Presumably not with the sort of well-after-all-that-is-a-different-culture vaporings that permeate the People of the Crust.
