Yepper.

What is it about Islam that it only seems to be able to assimilate modernity part way? It’s as though they have the language but not the idiom, the music but not the rhythm.

This may be a whole cultural example of “born too late.” Or, as an American general so succinctly put it recently in another context, these folks may be stuck on stupid. In fact, they may be glued to it permanently.

Thanks for the link to my post. I should have said "super-glued"...

BTW, aren't those Israeli soldiers in the other picture something?

You're welcome. Your comment was succinct and, uh, true.

The Colonel would welcome all such soldiers to serve at IGST HQ!
