#1 "We ask Muslims to avoid sites where there are foreigners, diplomats, businessmen or tourists," he says in the 19-minute-long video.

so maybe he's not such a bad guy after all. I'm all for this. I'll just have to rent a car instead of taking a cab at the airport :-)

#3 For those of you playing at home, al-Maghreb is the Arabic term for the North African littoral. Sort of the same way that al-Andalus is crazy-jihadi-talk for the Iberian peninsula. Except, I suppose for the fact that North Africa has been recovered by the ummah from the infidels, unlike Spain and Portugal.

Yet.

#5 Mr. Wife really enjoyed his time in Morocco. Welcoming people, fantastic food, lovely souvenirs to bring me... On the other hand, the wife of a colleague told of sunning on the beach of one of the international hotels, waiting for her husband, when a local gentleman walked up and said, "American woman, you wanta fuck?" She turned him down, saying that her husband would be out in a minute or two. "That's ok, it won't take long," was the gentleman's reply. Ick. I've had invitations, but somehow Mr. Wife never managed to take me on one of his business trips.

#6 I was in Morocco for six months in 1975, although no one asked me any personal questions. I did like the folks, getting around from Rabat, the capital, down past Marrakesh to Goulimine. Lovely mountains.

Agadir on the Atlantic was (in 1975) quite the hot spot for Euros, beautiful white sand beaches, posh hotels. Come to think of it, in Agadir, a lady did ask me to light her cigarrete, and it occurred to me somewhat later, innocent lad that I was, that she might have wanted me to light her fire ... so to speak, in return for some greenbacks, of course.
