Do Not Panic I Am Not Islamic

by Steve Hill

This is a funny little story, if not a some what sad reflection on the state of today’s society, it is all about the months after the July terrorist bombings in London. Enjoy!

The UK as a whole was saddened and frustrated by the terrorist attacks on the transport system of London. Many people died and many more were injured. The pictures of the smiling bombers entering the train station with their big back packs, is one that I shall never forget.

The bombers were seemingly normal Asian men from England, how could they do this to their own country? More importantly for the British people was the fear that other people from an Asian background may be planning further atrocities.

As in many of these types of cases it is the innocent young Asian men who have to deal with the after math of the extremists actions. In Britain, people became wary of anyone who looked remotely Muslim, especially if they had a back pack on.

A well known and respected writer for the Telegraph newspaper wrote an interesting article about one morning trip she had to her office. She was travelling on the Tube when an Asian man, with a back pack, boarded the train. Everybody from the packed carriage she was standing in moved to a different carriage, some even got off the train, leaving this man to sit all alone. The reporter stated that it was a surreal moment and that she felt sorry for the Asian man but that in reality he could have expected little less due to what happened.

Over the following few weeks Asian men started to leave their back packs at home until one of them had a novel idea. Let us remember that not all Asians are Muslims before I continue.
This person started to sell back packs to Asian men with the following message on, in big bright letters:

Do not freak, I am a Sikh.

Do not panic, I am not Islamic.

This certainly raised a smile on my face.

Top 10 Brazil Beaches

Has Brazil the category of unbeatable if we talk about travel destination? Could any other country in the world have more natural attractions? If we talk about historic places with ancient palaces and a lot of museums for sure that you have to go to Europe, but if we talk about natural paradises, I can not imagine a country with more perfect landscapes than Brazil. Iguazu falls, the Amazon river, and of course, the most beautiful beaches on earth.

We are talking about a country with more than 4.500 miles of oceanic coastline where you can find all kind of beaches: blue water, green water, tall coconut trees, small ones, lagoons, original and unique wildlife, blue water holes in the middle of sand dunes...

It could be under discussion if Brazil is the world top destination as country, but what is almost undeniable is that Brazil is the king of beaches. What is best is that most of them with the exception of the famous one like Ipanema or Copacabana (both in Rio de Janeiro) are almost unknown but most of the people. Strange and mysterious beaches could be fine in Brazil, some of them in ghost villages, some of the in major cities with wild nights. And the diversity between them is fantastic as nature in Brazil changes a lot from North to South, from Bahia State to Rio Grande do Sul State.

In addition to this, you have to consider the carnival: the biggest celebration on earth! Imagine to spend a carnival in one of the lovely Brazil Beaches. It is like you can party all night, dance in the beach, or even inside the water with millions of crazy brazilians that can dance all night...
Do you still have doubts where are you going on your next holidays? You can select from the Brazil Best Beaches, here comes the ranking:

1 Fernando de Noronha Beach 2 Porto de Galinhas Beach 3 Jericocoara Beach 4 Praia da Pipa Beach 5 Morro do Sao Paulo Beach 6 Canoa Quebrada Beach 7 Espelho Beach 8 Trancoso Beach 9 Gunga Beach 10 Forte Beach
