Are you trying to tell me I was lucky not to be blown up because I had a pair of shorts on?

Of coure Tim, they probably drink too, are you suprised?

That is exactly what religion is used for and always has been.

Last week I stayed in a small hotel in the hills of Cyprus.
At the front it had a restaurant and at the back a swimming pool.
One day after a swim I was walking back through the gardens to my room with just a pair of shorts on.
A Muslim man and his two daughters with traditional head gear were also in the garden. Probably been in the restaurant.
I was made to feel very uncomfortable as he tried to shield his girls from the sight of my not so wonderful body.
It actually made me feel like a pervert.

Don't mean to be rude but maybe religion had nothing to do with it :roll:

You are not being rude Dr J as my wife had suggested the same thing.

Try the Alton Towers ( a popular theme park and hotel in England) method.

All muslims aren't terrorists but just about all terrorists are muslims.

That’s based on your assumption that you have a logical and valid definition for “terrorist”! :roll:

Apparently a bigger scandal was when a wife of a member of the Saudi royal family had an abortion to a baby from a British guy in UK (this was on one of the Turkish daily papers not so long ago)

Southwest coast of Turkey is the top vacation spot for wealthy Iranian tourists...likewise they throw away their traditional "tents" and dress as normal civilised people do while on vacation in Turkey.

I was thinking of your friends in Iraq and Afghanistan who wake up in the moring saying "OH what a lovely day Mrs Ali (if that is you inside the tent) I think I'll go to the market and blow myself up along with a few dozen other smelly muslims.
