All Things Considered, December 13, 2004 · Recent violent attacks in
Europe by suspected home-grown Islamic extremists have extinguished
illusions about European multiculturalism. Europeans are now realizing
they've allowed the emergence of separate, disadvantaged Islamic
communities.
Throughout the continent, a debate rages on how to integrate rapidly
growing Muslim minorities -- many of whom feel contempt and hatred for
their host societies. NPR's Sylvia Poggioli concludes a five-part
series on Muslims in Europe.

NPR has great music.
They're the only source for truly decent blues here.
Did you know listening to Blues in a Muslim country could get you
killed.

Too bad it's only on the
weekends.
I have jazz friends who swear by them the rest of the time, but that's not my
cup of meat.

Doing or not doing most anything could get you killed in countries like
that.

Opening her own letter Dorothea saw that it was a lively continuation of
his remonstrance with her fanatical sympathy and her want of sturdy
neutral delight in things as they were—an outpouring of his young
vivacity which it was impossible to read just now. -+George Eliot,

In Saudi Arabia they are called the ""mutaween" police.
A couple of years ago they were responsible for the
deaths of 15 school girls who they would not allow
to escape a fire because they were not properly
dressed even beating some of them to prevent them
from getting out of the burning building.

Lovely culture, just lovely.
Interestingly, at my junior highschool, the girls PE class was advised
that if there was to be a fire-alarm while they were in the showers,
they should, as they exited the building, wrap their towels around their
faces rather than their bodies, as for one the towels weren't large
enough to cover their bodies much, and secondarily, it would be their
faces that would cause them embarassment later.
Weird, eh? And this was in Maryland.

Sounds like an urban legend. I guess normal sized bath towels
were too extravagant?

Not an urban legend.
I heard it personally.
