You are beaten on a regular basis. You don't call the police for fear of retribution beatings, or perhaps you believe in that imaginary religious book that says it's A-O-K to be beaten. And you just take it. Because that is what you are supposed to. Say one day the police do come. Neighbors called. Your beating has been interrupted. Despite your physical condition, blood, broken parts, whatever, the police take a look at the situation. They see you are readers of this imaginary book. Remember we're pretending there is actually a book that tells a man he can beat his wife oh and there are actually religious leaders of the same book who give Helpful Hints & Tips for effective beating that does not leave the wife in need of a trip to the Emergency room. Not only that, the police have their own little imaginary book that tells them not to do anything (like haul his wife beating ass to jail or the like) if you all happen to read that imaginary book. So the police understand that you are readers and they leave you to get on with your bad beaten' self and give you the number of your local religious leader. They respect the fact that you are book readers you see, so you go right ahead and take whatever abuse your husband gives you. Now if the same scenario happened a couple houses down, things would be completely different. That other couple does not read the imaginary book.

From the Herald Sun (AU) by way of Dhimmi Watch - Police Told to Respect Traditions

POLICE are being advised to treat Muslim domestic violence cases differently out of respect for Islamic traditions and habits...

...Police are told: "In incidents such as domestic violence, police need to have an understanding of the traditions, ways of life and habits of Muslims..."

...Islamic Women's Welfare Council head Joumanah El Matrah called the guidelines appalling and dangerous.

"The implication is one needs to be more tolerant of violence against Muslim women but they should be entitled to the same protection," Ms El Matrah said.

"Multi-culturalism" is so grand.

I won't hold my breath waiting for the femisists to be outraged or anything.

Nope.

Random thought, the splodeys have a tradition of killing their neighbors. I now understand why the world fails to condem their explosive actions. Tradition, 'splains it all.

UPdate: Apparently there have been race riots of late in the UK, since it wasn't black & white, wasn't much news, at all. Melanie Phillips (by way of LGF) writes on it here - Britain's unseen race riots. If The Man can't be blamed, nobody gets it, so it seems.
