[Sticks]

he is a sly, selfish chauvinist typical of many of his religion.
the skids are under him and let's cheer as he slips into oblivion (some hope!! the red tops will feed off him for a while bless them

For the record at the moment as a Cyber Devil's Advocate, my client is Michelle

I was not defending Ahmed but trying to give an incite into his mindset and way of thinking.

On the wider point raised by p2pnut, and I am aware of the thinness of the ice I am skating, there is an issue in the way women are treated in Islam.

For the record, the person at my local chippy is a devout Muslim and I like to go there because we can chat about spiritual things.

However

From the Koran (Translated by John Alden Willimams one of the most accurate translations into English)

Sura 4:38
Men stand superior to women in that God has preferred some of them over others ... But those (wives) whose perverseness ye fear, admonish them and remove them into the bedchambers and beat them

Some individuals may be enlightened, but the teaching do teach that women are inferior, and that should explain why Ahmed had a problem with Michelle being a sergent.
