So by your reckoning the mugger should not be arrested because in the grand scheme of things the mugger could have done worse? The law, like religion is black and white, when you introduce gray it causes problems every time. Cisse is the Gray of Islam mate. The severity of his actions are irrelevant. Give your morals a shake with your head.
Like it or lump it, the world is grey, although I confess I would love to live in the world you describe. Each one of us must live with this world of greyness and draw our own personal lines in the sand. What others do of our own peer group is irrelevant. If Hatem Ben Arfa chooses to jump off Marsden rocks, it does not automatically follow that Papiss Cisse should do the same. And yet the characters lining up on Total Sport affirm that he should.
The law, Sir, is not black and white. Every lawyer would tell you so.
