People always have ideas on how funding can be spent in a better way Kash, and, yes, I agree at some stage what you suggest is a good idea. I would like to know a little more of islamic and muslim women, 'cause I have created in my mind, this picture of subservience, fixed marriages, ostracism if refusal to comply, the pressure to produce a son, to wear those restrictive garments
most of the time and to have no opinions of your own. All very scarey to me.
YES, YES, I know this is probably not the case so pleeese don't come back at me, 'cause some will be absolute rubbish, but that's why I would support you in this idea at some stage.
Back to the thread however; I would just see it as an enjoyable part of our history in Human Geography and as you can see by the Nostalgic threads on here, lots of us do enjoy this. I believe that you can live better in the present if you know something of the past and the history of your surroundings and maybe the word 'enlighten' can be looked at from two different aspects.
After all, would the Accy football fans be celebrating so much this week if they had not been enlightened on the history of the club and it's ups and downs.
So let's all be taught how we have recovered from awful events in the town's history and celebrate this. Mines a bacardi and coke in The Stag
