Last year I worked for an NGO that shall remain nameless...our hours of work were roughly from 8 am to 6 pm with an hour and half break for lunch..in reality the schedule was not rigid as most of us were professionals working on long term projects. A man who shall remain nameless stopped working 5 times a day for 10 minutes because according to his faith it was his duty to pray and all that jazz...so roughly one hour a day was spent praying.
Yesterday I saw this same guy by chance and he told me he was 'going back home' because Italy was an intolerant country...
I smiled and asked him "we should exchange phone numbers..maybe I'll come and visit you one day..actually I may be in the area in March...can I come by with my girlfriend"
He encouraged me to visit but stated "be very careful with your manner...be very careful with the cross around your neck ..don't expose it too much and tell your girlfriend she must NOT wear anything short ...all her legs must be covered and she must wear a head scarf..she also cannot walk without you"
I asked "ok ... just let me know where the Roman Catholic Churches are...so I can swing by when I'm there.."
He looked at me..."we have no roman catholic churches..we are a muslim nation"
INTOLERANT NATION??? CLASSIC MENTALITY
