The "liberals" all supported the Arab Spring, what with the green shoots of democracy and all that!
Now that the strong men are dead and the area is in the power of religious zealots and an almost uneducated populace, we are in serious trouble......and the "liberals" have gone into hiding again.

All these buzz words like equality, democracy,etc, must be weighed against the behaviour of those who demand them,

Is it "equality" to hand a sword to someone who wishes to cut your head off....or is it stupidity.
Is it "equality" to bring into mainstream society a lifestyle that carries horrific sexual health figures and demands the re-definition of one of the cornerstones of human society...or is it stupidity.

The parallels are there for all to see.
