She is a racist? No moreso than the Qunari. As per usual the Qunari want if both ways, don't do as we do do as we say. The Arishok was going batty by being in Kirkwall not because some of his fellow Qunari got bumped off. Heck he doesn't seem to care at all about some of the ones that that have fled his flock are killed.
You didn't touch on any of the other points I made in my post. There is zero reason to suggest the Qunari were ever going to find their book by their actions up until that point. The Arishok doesn't rage as much about his fallen compadres as he does about how crappy of a place that Kirkwall is in general. As you point out they were a miltiary prescence occupying a part of Kirkwall and things were going to come to a head sooner or later.
Petrice saw this threat and acted on it when she saw no movement in diplomacy. The Qunari were the authors of their own demise by being dishonest and totally imcompetant in the 1st place.
It's true that it's not her responsibility to placate the Qunari. It's equally true that it's not her responsibility to provoke them. The Qunari have zero reason to trust anyone with their artifact. That was proven when it was stolen.Camenae wrote...

Yes, because we can trust a rival religion to be respectful of another religion's culture and sacred artifacts. Just as it's not their fault they were robbed, it's also no mark against them that they didn't run and tell every self-serving power group that there's a MacGuffin that they are beholden to.Camenae wrote...
Mother Petrice was certainly not a good person, but to be perfectly fair to her, she didn't know the Qunari were there for the book. Nobody knew because the Arishok thought this was a SUPER DUPER secret for whatever reason and didn't think Kirkwall with all their Chantry stuff would understand "we are here for our Bible."
I think the Viscount showed the Qunari plenty of respect already, doing his best to keep the fanatics off their backs and in the first place giving them a base inside Kirkwall for a strong, disciplined military force WHOSE INTENTS ARE UTTERLY UNKNOWN.
Also whatever the Arishok's motives are for being all secretive, it doesn't change the fact that Petrice didn't know the Qunari had a good reason for being there. Can you deny that if you don't tell someone your reasons then chances are that they don't know your reasons? I said what I said in response to an earlier poster who said that Petrice should have devoted her zealous efforts to finding the book instead or something. So I'm saying she can't do that because she DIDN'T KNOW.

Mother Petrice. Ten times.
I hate her and her "plot armor". You can threaten to kill her, what, two times before she actually dies? Why can't I just actually kill her? I mean, at one point it's just her and one (singular!) templar, and they're both alone, in a shack, in Lowtown, at night, with no one else around.
No one would ever know.

I think it's amusing to think that an army's politeness should extend beyond not razing or conquering the city they're bivouacked in.

Even if you don't like Anora as well, she and Petrice only really have three things in common: They are blonde, they are females, and they have some degree of power. That's really not much of a comparison...MG800 wrote...
Mother Petrice.. yes, so easy to hate her - minor plotting wench, so troublesome. She's Anora, just not so intelligent and charming.

Eh? But he's so gracious and considerate. Once you hand him his waylaid property (as, you know, you do a thousand times over in various fetch quests), he writes you a letter inviting you to Minrathous and offering to personally give you a tour. None of the other fetch quest NPCs did that!

Should their politeness extend beyond that? Yes. Well actually they should just stay the hell out, period.
Does their politeness extend beyond a temporary armistice? Usually no. Which is why most nations DO assume that foreign armies didn't come here to be polite, and just NEVER LET THEM IN in the first place. But, the Viscount being stupid does not automatically ---> Arishok being justified.
