#2 abject gender apartheid

That's a keeper.

the Pope failed to grasp that under the tenets of radical Islam of the modern age, context means little, intent nothing, learning less than zero.

Quite the opposite, almost without exception Islamic countries are extremely high context societies and this is exactly the problem that we in the West face when dealing with them. So much depends upon long-standing familial and business relationships, ancient mores and religious dogma that that an outsider will find it nearly impossible not to offend Muslims on an almost routine basis.

If a ~~fart~~ ~~hiccup~~ ~~sniffle~~ ~~belch~~ ~~sneeze~~ ~~cough~~ ~~giggle~~ sentence, indeed a mere phrase can be taken out of context, twisted, manipulated to show an absence of deference to Islam, furor ensues, death threats follow, assassins load their beltseven as the New York Times or the Guardian issues its sanctimonious apologies in the hope that the crocodile will eat them last.

Some minor corrections were necessary.
