    I think you would be surprised how many Muslims drink and have drunk historically. This is a fun example:

    Taybeh Oktoberfest | Taybeh Brewing Company

    The growth of fundamentalism does, however, seem to have changed the disposition of many Muslims towards alcohol.

    Incidentally, went to see Ireland vs Pakistan at Malahide last year and there were a good few Pakistan supporters knocking back the stout while the locals and folk from NI were munching down the Pakistani food. It's things like this that make me optimistic.

You think the mancs are going to take this on the chin- I doubt it. Expect physical invasion of known extremist mosques by the weekend.
        Are you saying that the British government should continue arming ISIS and then fighting them?
        The first thing to do is to stop arming them. But that means the Tory government must go. No ifs no buts.
        People who are voting Tory are saying that they are happy for ISIS to be supplied weapons from the UK.

          I'm not.

          I always thought it was amusing that at a certain time of year those drinkers would stop drinking but continue to eat at work during the day.

            I take a balanced view. Some things make me optimistic and some make me pessimistic. If you want to take an unbalanced view, then go ahead.

              I have drunk and smoked hashish with Muslims in India, Pakistan and Morocco.
