#3 Sheesh. Here we go with the unstated, but subtly implied, memed Myth of Moderate Islam, again. This isn't "hardline" or "fundamentalist" or particularly "Talibanisation", it's completely "normal" in any Islam-dominated shithole. The key is Islam-dominated. Where they have the numbers or power, they proceed with Sharia. Period. Full stop. These cretins are merely following Sharia and instituting the norm because they can. Brutal blind subservience to barbarism. There is no saving grace for any population that accepts Sharia.

Re: Prayer Times...
You learn to do everything around prayer times - and trust me, 4 of the 5 come at damned inconvenient times. Everyone carries a couple of weeks of the schedule around with them.

There's nothing quite like riding in a taxi and having the driver suddenly pull over, get out, consult his little compass, roll out his prayer rug, and start banging his head on the ground -- while you miss your flight. Only happens once, lol.

Extrapolate the ramifications of True Believers in occupations that require full attention...

#7 Hey, .com, I think I missed your earlier forays, but I'm glad you're feeling better. (Or still feeling worse but having the energy to post, whichever applies). And hoping you're feeling better (or even better, whichever applicable) soon.
