When we went to Calpe last year and inadvertently stayed in a Saga Hotel, it took ages to get a drink at the bar - they were trying to give somebody Oxygen.

Each evening they had resident bands - rattling out Delilha.

I apologies in advance if I have upset anybody - and I am sure I will be there myself oneday

The facts are that a very large percentage of muslims ,particulary the younger generations are anti western world , I was in a hotel lounge when the twin towers was shown on tv, a group of young muslims cheered and clapped as the plane flew into the towers, this feeling is not uncommon ,Ive also seen groups of young muslim men protesting against the British goverment /Briatain at soldiers funerals ,had it been 1939-45 they would have been interned/jailed for treason, ironcicaly they were all "British citizens",some of whom go to Afganistan and fight for the taliban/al qaeda!!! what a bloody mess!!
I cant accept that islam is not the problem when the actions are in the name of islam/ala, islam is not compatible with the western world.
Like I said before ,thank your limp wristed PC politicians.

I get the point but detect a lack of empathy

It could be argued that the UK and US are not compatible with the rest of the world. They are the world's bullies and start illegal wars so they can get their dirty hands on oil (or whatever other reason they have).

If I was of Afghanistani or Iraqi origins and having heard and experienced their tragic past - a lot of it cuased by the interference of Russia, the UK and the US. I would probably have cheared at the twin towers falling. I bet they thought "it's about time they know how it feels to have their cities bombed by foreign invaders"

Yes but would you live in the UK or US and bring your family up in the country of the "infidel"? hypercritical at the least.

Go for it.

We had several winters in Morocco and it was great.

No problems driving anywhere. Iseen as bad and worsein SPain, Portugal and the UK!

Tangiers is a nightmare but hire a guide and get him to take you to the souk. He will keep the other touts away but will also take you to his brothers' house where you will be 'encouraged to buy stuff you don't really want.

Get out of town if you can and explore. You need more than a day so why not go by camper van and make a holiday of it?

Enjoy.
