Too many Muslims are just plain unassimilable.
Although, truth to tell, this guy is a bad Muslim by Islam's own definitions of acceptable behavior: no consumption of alcohol permitted, dude. On the other hand, I've seen quite a few who have "assimilated" in this one respect.
I'm thoroughly sick of Muslims. There, I said it.
ReplyDeleteThere are "bad" Muslims -- by Islam's definitions -- everywhere.
ReplyDeleteWhilst mobilized to Kuwait, it was common to read in the English version of the local newspaper how youths had been arrested in Kuwait City for public drunkenness.
Rumor had it that if you went to a certain pizza joint, you could order "white tea" or "red tea", codes for white and red wine.
And then there were the locals who drove out into the desert, far from town, just to get drunk, like the keggers so common while I was in high school.
And Kuwait is Sunni, and (supposedly) very conservative within the Islam world.
I met a guy when I was an undergraduate in college who was from Kuwait, would have been around 1973. He was a fan of Khomeini, and laughingly related how he and his friends used to kidnap dogs from foreign diplomatic personnel and torture them to death. Said it right out, as if the rest of us would have been fine with it - which we weren't.

ReplyDeleteBack when they first started pushing it as the answer to all the problems in the world, I said "Whatever, dude." Now I say "What the hell, dude? This ain't working!"
My school in the late 90s, SUNY Utica, had some Kuwaitis, they had a blast blowing daddy's money on wine, women and song.
ReplyDeleteThe Saudi folks all traveled in a pack following a guy with full Islamist get-up and wouldn't talk to anybody. They were creepy dudes.
