For those of you who, like I, were sitting there scratching their heads trying to remember who said that, it's General Sir Charles James Napier.
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."
This line of thinking should be a Norwegian one. If they rape women, we kill them. If they try to do so, we defend them. Guns are a fine old custom when hunting animals, and anything that rapes with the reasoning that a woman was dressed impropriately is certainly an animal.
And we would hardly wish to abandon this wonderful multicultural society we live in, would we now?
I had seen your quote, and love it.
Unless they act, the next thing my Norwegian friends may be asked to do is to remove the cross from their flag. (Rumors are it was borrowed anyway.) That would leave a red flag blowing in the wind. Not to be provocative, but will anyone notice?
