Let’s send him on his way
Reading an article about Abu Hamza, the cartoon muslim cleric who’s in jail awaiting extradition to the US, he’s quoted as saying about the British ‘they want only to look at nude pictures, go to football matches, have a few pints and go to sleep. They have become slaves.’
Well if its a choice between that or spending half the day on my knees praying and the other half daydreaming up ways to kill people, I’ll take the British way thanks Abu.

I think when people of one culture try to tell people of another culture how to live they are wasting their time and making themsleves look ridiculous.
Of course this guys observations are pretty accurate but he is not going to change what people like.
The US going into Iraq to give them democracy and the American dream is pure fantasy too, as are westerners coming to Bali (I’m in Bali) and attempting to ’show them a better way’. They like their way already and what often seems a total waste of time to outsiders (going to temple for the Balinese, going to the pub for the British) is seen by the locals as integral to their way of life.
