Pat, who is 85, was detained in Manchester yesterday under section 13 of the Terrorism Act after standing with a sign that read “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine action.” She kept it on display as a matter of principle, which resulted in her arrest.
“The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.” —Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilisation and the Remaking of the World Order, 1996, p. 51
