/// Inside the 200-acre site near Cambridge, an old aircraft hangar has been converted into a mosque. Signs are displayed in Arabic. The living quarters have been refurbished to reflect Muslim religious and cultural sensitivities (individual shower cubicles replacing open-plan washing facilities because Islam forbids a man from seeing another man naked). ///

/// One young, slightly-built British soldier serving in the canteen attracted the attention of a group of his Libyan counterparts. They approached their translator with a question: Could they ‘buy him?’ ///

/// ‘They wanted him for sex,’ said the soldier’s wife. ‘They kept asking the translator how much “he” would cost so they could have him and rape him. ///

Perhaps as the Libyan flag was lowed and the 3 buses left, one of our quiet English villages can return to normal?

I echo fender. Just read somewhere that they are saying that is is our fault for not explaining right from wrong! This does give some slight hint as to the deep misconceptions and divisions which are extant in some pockets of our society, does it not?

Mind you, we should not be too surprised at Libyans' inability to tell right from wrong. The embassy where Colonel Ali el-Karom is based is, opf course, the establishment from which a shot was fired which killed PC Yvonne Fletcher in 1984. Nobody was brought to book for that atrocity so I suppose sexual assault and rape are comparitively small beer.
