Sqwak7700,
"I'm stating that I would be considerate to someone's beliefs, no matter what they are."
That didn't really comeover in your first post. Fair enough.
I've lived in the ME as well and as far as a NTC goes I think its a tactful reminder to crew members what happens. Not everyone has lived there or is aware of the ramifications. We've had one FO in the cooler for a couple of hours for upsetting the locals, I just don't want anyone on my crew making a similar mistake.
