Re "shame": the only shame really involved in all this unhappy business is that brought on their faith & their co-religionists by the small but vociferous, prominent and unhappily so effectual minority, the so-called Islamiist faction. There is where the true 'shame' lies. And if Steve and Don and GrottiLox can't see it, then a visit to the opticians would be advisable for them without delay.
