Great Moments in Women's Lib


Australian police are being advised to easy on Muslim men who beat their wives.

The Australasian Police Multicultural Advisory Bureau has published and distributed 50,000 copies of an 82-page handbook for Australian police officers, directing them on how to deal with people from all the unfamiliar cultures that an Australian policeman may encounter. A Sikh, for example, may receive a three-day reprieve from arrest if the arresting officer happens upon him while he is reading his holy scriptures - a practice that takes fifty hours, and must not be interrupted. And Muslim husbands who beat their wives must be treated differently from other domestic violence cases, as a matter of cultural sensitivity: �In incidents such as domestic violence," says the handbook, "police need to have an understanding of the traditions, ways of life and habits of Muslims."
Democracy isn't for everybody, and apparently neither is civil rights.

What about the tradition of arresting people needing to be arrested? That's a cultural thing too.

I would for once like to see a "liberal" either disavow or honestly complete this sentence: Whenever Western culture conflicts with the culture of brown or black people, Western culture must give way because ______________.

The only way I can think of to complete this is, "because they are too primitive to adjust to other cultures." But since I'm not a racist, I don't think that...

I'd arrest him in a heartbeat and be proud that PC-ness has yet to affect me from doing my duty in God's Green Country.


Interesting thing my instructor brought up. I asked if it was common law (unspoken society etiquette rules) to not arrest someone in church. He said some people see it so but he has arrested people in church and had no problem with it. His exact words are: "Just because you go to church doesn't mean you're not an asshole!"
