he “culture of offence” absurdly implies that civility and manners
are all that are needed to stop abductions and the slaughter of generations
from Nigeria, Iran to Algeria. But the “culture of offence” is a smokescreen.
It serves to legitimise Islamist terror and blame the victims. It misses the
point. Being a woman, a freethinker, being gay, being unveiled, improperly
veiled, an atheist, going to school, driving a car, having sex, falling in
love, laughing out loud, dancing … “offends” them. Calling for civility,
censorship, silence or “respect” for the “offended” is merely heeding the
Islamist demand for submission at the expense of dissenters.—Maryam Namazie
