He won because of the Iranian Hostage Crisis...”
...just a side note. I took a young and pretty Middle Eastern girl out on a date during the crises. She mentioned her support for the Iranians. Date ended that second.
Thanks for that. Confirms for me a similar decision I had early last year when I was dating a pretty thing from Manhattan whose recently passed father had been a surgeon there.
Only problem was her father was a refugee in the late 1950s to Canada from Turkey and later got medically trained in Manhattan.
I thought she was secular like so many others from Turkey and I, as a Christian thought she would respect my Orthodox faith. But she began showing her Muslim sympathies and I detected the usual arguments for Islam over Christianity.
When I found out she preferred only ‘Halal’ food, that was too much for me so I stopped answering her phone calls while trying to figure out what to say. She called and left a nasty message about how I was “leading her on”. And then I knew I had made the right decision.
Christians and Muslims simply do not mix.
