Quite true IMHO. For instance, in ASDA today I stopped to look at the halal meat counter, and a female shopper of a certain religious cult told me (very loudly) that "This meat is not for the infidel, buy haram (dirty) meat from your own area!"
"How do you know that I am not a member of your cult?" I replied.
She then obviously took offence at being talked-to by a man. Very loud offence! I was asked to move along by a member of staff, and was told I should be "ashamed of myself" for insulting the "poor lady".
