Do not think that I am that wide of the mark.

You are wide of the mark in thinking that they were Turkish Cypriots. Turkish Cypriot women do not dress in the manner you describe. They were more likely to be tourists from conservative Arab countries. Even then, this suprises me. I have worked in Qatar, and in my experience Gulf Arabs are very well aware of the differences between Western and Gulf Arab society, and take a 'when in Rome' attitude while visiting the West.

You have hit the nail on the head Tim, it explains a lot, thank goodness someone understood my question.
I will now wander about Cyprus in my speedos feeling quite comfortable and appreciating all the admiring glances from the women with no worry of upsetting any Cypriot people.

Looking for some new speedos and a new wheel barrow.
How could I offend anyone

I dont think you have to be Muslim to find looking at a pair of Speedos and a beer gut offensive :lol:

Around 1.5 million people have already been killed in Iraq alone, and God knows how many in Afghanistan and Pakistan,

Just shows how efficient suicide bombers are, lets start a campaign to raise funds for muslim suicide bomber kits with the ultimate aim of doubling the current figures you've quoted.

Tonight in Gaza Muslims are killing each other in a battle taking place in and around a mosque.
As both sides are muslims will you be sending arms to both sides, I would like to donate to the 'Buy a Bullet for a Muslim' fund.
