Exactly,, that is why everyone should leave their religious based beliefs behind when they move to a new country.. We have enough religion we don't need more...
Moravian replies on Jan 30, 2020:
His father Billy had a famous visit to the UK 60 years ago and spent a few days preaching all over Scotland including at a packed Hampden park, the national football stadium in Glasgow.
Those were different times and he was probably a more moderate character than his son

@JackPedigo A great story. Sometimes looking at your ancestry may be a disappointment;
The Applecross inn is famous for it's food and always busy.
The Bealach na ba is now of what is called the "The north west 500" A circular route starting and finishing at Inverness and taking in the north west and north coast roads, Much of it still on narrow and single track roads,
It has increased tourism but unfortunately attracts petrol heads in high powered cars trying to beat the recoed for the route.
I attended a wedding at Applecross a few years ago camping at the site there overnight.
My battered Subaru was surrounded by Porsche sports cars. The drivers "doing the 500". An incongruous sight in the remote highlands.

@Omnedon Very true. I think the cults in particular have a peculiar hold over their members. Another facet of human behaviour puzzles me. Victims of domestic abuse who hang around for months or even years to be constantly abused. I can understand that women in particular may be financially dependant on the other partner but surely a man could walk away.
I read a fascinating biography recently called "The Nipper" by a guy who was physically abused by his drunken father until the kid was strong enough to stand up to him. The mother eventually had enough and left then the father had a girlfriend who had her own flat nearby and still turned up regualrly to be beaten by the drunk. As they say in the north of England." There's nowt as queer as folk "

I think most whisky drinkers can differentiate between Speyside,Highland and the peaty Western Isles malts but to isolate the actual distillery is a bit more difficult

Yup, he's a real charmer isn't he ?
Like it or not people in the public eye can influence others, particularly younger immature minds. I wonder if he still plays his song "Jailbait". Maybe Geoffrey Epstein was a fan.
Another outspoken US musician is Kanye West who is famous for having a wife with a big ass. Fortunately his comments are so ridiculous that he is just a figure of fun.

They still have occaisional skirmishes over Kashmir which has a predominantly Muslim population but India wants to rule the area. Both of those unstable countries have nuclear weapons which is a worry and ultra nationalists like Modi is making the situation worse.

Partition was badly handled with the border between India and the new Pakistan being drawn on a map by an English civil servant and the British probably played the opposing religious groups against one another for their own ends.

I have heard it said that it was all about oil but I think it was more of a knee jerk reaction by Bush after 9/11 aided and abetted by the hawks in the govt and of course the arms manufacturers who benefitted greatly from the invasion.and of course Dubya wanted a little war just like his daddy.

There is empathy but there is also the practicality of letting thousands of migrants into a country. Housing.jobs etc and the fact that the existing population feel overwhelmed by peopke with a totally different culture.
Angela Merkel showed great empathy in allowing tens of thousands of economic migrants from North Africa into Germany and it has probably been partly responsible for the rise in right wing nationalism in the country and throughout Europe.
The USA has been responsible for much of the problem with the invasion of Iraq, the deposing of Gadafi. promotion of the Arab spring and backing the rebels fighting Assad in Syria so maybe Trump should allow some of them to settle in the USA. But of course he doesn;t like Muslims .or Mexicans,or people from shite countries so that is unlikely to happen.
