because the Palis are such uncivilized savages they can't be expected to live like more "civilized" people?

There's a lot of that going around.

Remember the kerfuffle about the Koran in the toilet bowl? I think it supposedly happened in Gitmo, 3-4 years ago.

Compare that to the time an NEA grant was given to the whack job who plopped a Crucifix in a jar of urine and the artsy-fartsy types called it a powerful artistic expression. I don't recall Billy Graham, Pat Robertson, Pope John Paul II, etc calling for bombings or beheadings
