At first I thought the "let them eat bacon" part referred to a particularly atrocious demand that Muslim people in Denmark stop eating halal food and start eating pork... which isn't that far off really if we're talking assimilation. Brrrr. You probably know the postcard that counts all the good foreign things in a typical Central European's life ( your pizza - Italian, your car - Japanese, your kebab - Turkish, your God - Jewish, your furniture - Swedish, your jeans - US American...) and finishes "... and your neighbor is just a foreigner?!" The scenario you paint is eerily similar. <br /><br />Cheers despite the unfunniness,<br />poetpoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00187001501919334157noreply@blogger.com
