Muslims rioting at sacrilegious behavior!

Just joking:

On the streets of Gaza, members of the pro-Fatah National Security Forces were staffing checkpoints at which they made women lift their veils, worn for religious reasons of modesty. They also took away men with beards, which are often associated with members and supporters of Hamas. Those scenes have shocked many local Palestinians.

But it was reported by the crack MSM NYT - in paragraph 23 of its story.

Do we even need to mention what kind of reaction would occur if any Westerner would do the same thing?
