The part where my already-strained empathy gives up and dies is the bit about laying violent hands on a woman for the (falsely-alleged) sin of immodesty when the attacker's own moral system should prohibit physical contact between man and woman for reasons of modesty. I mean, my personal conception of immodesty bears very little resemblance to the personal conceptions of anyone involved, and there are a hell of a lot of things wrong with the story above from my point of view. But I can't get past how the attackers, besides all of their other faults, are flaming, howling hypocrites!
