Great 'response' to Super Duper's ridiculous observation.
Ever been in that part of the world, SD, and put up with the sometimes mind-blowing arrogance of some of these self important clowns? I suspect not. If you had, then you'd probably have queried from time to time that Islamic demands for deference to their religious practices and beliefs actually seem to sometimes cross the line where they interfere with others' fundamental rights of liberty, freedom and safety.
And it's not so 'silly' when you look at in that context SD. Where you have an attempt by an arrogant self important prick to impose his beliefs on what appears to be, on the whole, a non-Islamic 'audience' (passengers of the aircraft), then what what you in effect have is a very public interpretation of the Sheik's Islamic beliefs, all by himself to society as a whole, and which regrettably has had the effect of conveying to the World at large an ugly impression of the rigidity, inflexibility and intolerance of Islam.
And surely that's to be regretted, and is far from a silly point if we are all supposed to be getting on with each other, wouldn't you think SD?
The Emir needs to get out and have a bloody good arse-kicking party with this idiot Sheikh before he does too much more damage!
