I think the reason it short-circuits their expectations is that what they're actually trying to do is "cancel" Islam on your behalf. Like: "wait a minute, I'm trying to defend/protect you here, isn't that

I agree with the spirit of this post but I’ve found large page-count and portable notebooks that work fine for me. Hobonichi makes nice ones, so does Midori. I always do a few things: 1) number the pages and date the entries. 2) Place an i

It's more of a practical concern. Our diplomats and their details operate in places like Turkey every day and we want those governments to grant us lots of leeway when dealing with the local population. That being said, this is a spect
