People from Saudi Arabia (or Brooklyn) come here and see all those things
already, but even in Manhattan don't see anyone sucking their own cock
(unless they go very far out of their way). There is a reasonable middle
ground. A deliberate choice to not occupy that middle ground is to fail in
our primary mission.

clear to me that some of what we do does violate American mores. It is
the young who consult encyclopedia and if what we do must be shielded
from children then we are failing.
You're very kind, but I'm not that young any more. :)
The above seems to be a recipe for a rather glum document. No miniskirts,
no bikinis, no women's bare faces, no uncovered female hair. And that's
just Islam and Judaism.
