I highly doubt it. Feel free to take some snaps of ladyfolk out and about around Beirut, when you get the chance, to educate those of us who’ve never been, if you feel it will be enlightening
Tolerance without condition renders a civilisation not just inferior but, ultimately, doomed. The West is going to implode if it doesn’t wake up and acknowledge the need for
pragmatism in pluralismWhat about oriental e.g. Japanese culture? More conformist, and arguably orderly/efficient, and less perversely individualistic
Sorry, yes, have amended (South East European and Semitic)
You’re British, there’s no doubt about that, but English is something a bit different (intimately linked with heritage)
Kind of, you’d have to have some English in you
You feel primary/a stronger sense of loyalty to other peoples
You’d get that more so in Italy, trust me
In most respects you can, and should. When it comes to Englishness you'll never be seen as 'the same' as a native by

Yup, plus other socioeconomic problems I’ve
flagged in the past associated with Muslim settlement
It’s the only way to bring peace the way things stand presently. The Kurds will have to have their own autonomous region or else fight for and win independence (the [disgraceful] Turkish establishment are presently moving to stop this from happening)
When’s that then, exactly?..
Don’t see why, when you don’t have to compete in the region and will likely be living in a very peaceful place before long (inshallah)
Good to know
