was rather a sweeping statement and PortAl's query, pasted here below, was quite valid.
"I know that when you are referring to "this time of the year" and "Ramadan", you are pointing out Muslims fasting & trying to get home quickly, but how can you tell that they are Arabs? How can you tell an Arab from a Pakistani? An Egyptian (Arab) from a Turkish or an Iranian (who are not Arabs, but Muslims, thus related to Ramadan), from a Lebanese (who is an Arab but could be a Christian, thus not related to Ramadan), from a Greek, from a Tunisian...etc?"
However, this wasn't what withnail meant the thread to be about, and a 'red herring' took over. As withnail said, it's a one-to-one issue between PortAl and Gypsy and digresses from the point he wishes to discuss.
That's all ... just hope everyone gets to where they need to go safely today and always.
