Yes. Say the Brits had put the electrodes in their own brains and built up a tradition of shocking themselves if others produced and published drawings of King Arthur.

To me, that seems closer to what the muslims in question are doing.

And people would be a lot less sympathetic with my Brits than Yvain's, for good reason.
