Re: EDL mayhem in Blackburn tomorrow

Not too sure about the 50% + Muslims in Côte d'Ivoire, that's how they like it to be called.

Its been a bit of a hot bed for years, I have been turned away whist in the air Twice and once had a bodyguard for me while I did the walkround of the aircraft.

Found this bit about the religion down there, sounds quite reasonable to me:
Muslim 38.6%, Christian 32.8%, indigenous 11.9%, none 16.7% (2008 est.)
note: the majority of foreigners (migratory workers) are Muslim (70%) and Christian (20%)

Also the results of the General Election down there is here:
Alassane OUATTARA elected president; percent of vote - Alassane OUATTARA 54.1%, Laurent GBAGBO 45.9%; note - President OUATTARA was declared winner by the election commission and took the oath of office on 4 December, Prime Minister SORO resigned from the incumbent administration and was subsequently appointed to the same position by OUATTARA; former president GBAGBO refused to cede and on 5 December appointed Gilbert Marie N'GBO AKE as Prime Minister

These dictators are rather hard to get rid of.
