Stashing uniforms

I hear the Jim Morrison line "we want the world and we want it now" as I watch the Nigerian-jihad punks slash and cut a British soldier in a London suburb, and edit a Morrissey title to "box-cutters of the world unite."

Eurpean countries are considering asking soldiers to not wear their uniforms off -duty. When does backing up stop? Did giving your lunch money to to the school bully stop his stomping?

Assimilation does not have to be a complete submission. It's an adjustment that does not require immigrants to forget and/or forsake their customs and ways.

 Leave the hate at the door.

July 13, 2020

Sudan opens  up a bit and allows alcohol for non-Muslims but it must be consumed in private, and decriminalizes apostasy, the abandonment or renunciation of a religious or political belief. I don't know if the citizens have their religion on their ID cards.
