I sure don't want to get caught defending a horny one legged old man that I've never met. He may be everything his critics fear he is for all I know. However, that isn't what is reported in that now well read news article. By all accounts he has been responsible for the children he brings into the world, who are well provided for and the people who know him do not claim he disrespects women. I doubt we could find too many men in the world with multiple divorces that would get a pass on those criteria, but this guy may be scum for all I know. The amount of traffic through women's shelters, assaults, rapes, viagra sales, crimes of perversion in America is definitely a cause for me to feel the shame of my own culture but we keep most of that in the closet. Most likely other cultures have their own shame that is relatively hidden from outsiders. If this article is the big cause to bring shame to billions of Muslims, I just don't see it. The only thing of interest besides the geezer's oddity is the really weird manner in which the anti-Islam crowd is demanding this be considered somehow representative.
