Yes I know and like I said these men were true Gentlemen. I so admire that. They did the right thing and the world is watching.

I disagree. Allowing this sort of thing to happen without resistance is exactly why the world is being corrupted at an accelerated pace. When people are allowed to do petty acts of disrespect and harassment without repercussion, they move on to assault and persecution, and finally onto barbaric brutality.

While I commend these men for their willingness to endure this for God, this act has nothing to do with being "gentlemen". Gentlemen had a code of behavior (chivalry) that assumed, in part, that women were ladies who were vulnerable and weaker, and thus in need of protection and gentle hands. These women have nothing to do with those ladies, and their behavior does not warrant the gentle hands of a gentleman - it warrants losing some damn teeth.

Remember, if this battle were only about the men, themselves, or any individuals who endure such things in silence, it might be ok to refrain from punishment. But it is the upcoming generations who see this and think "if those Christian men are so weak, why should we follow them?" If you do not resist this, you risk not just yourself, but millions of others.

The problem lies not in these men but the local police agency. I believe the article did say something about the police were not going to do anything because these were women and this was a “womens rights march” or something like that. Okay I got it this is a march but still these women should not be allowed to get out of hand and be destructive. There are laws in that country I am sure regarding such things and the police should have enforced it.

I agree with you. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men should do nothing.” Passive resistance in the face of evil, especially when the protest became physical is an example of weakness not restraint. I don’t mean moral or spiritual weakness but the unwillingness to stand up and put an end to barbarism encourages barbarism.

Not in this instance. This one was for the hearts and souls of the people watching at home. The evil being done by these women could be very clearly seen.
