Re: Guess Who's Coming to Diwali
this is slightly off topic, but worth bringing up b/c its interpretation changes the tone of the author's response: when prudie said "stick their heads into the tandoor" i assumed she was substituting for the word oven, which does make the tone a bit condescending
if she wanted to create a witty substitute for the 'sticking their heads into the sand expression', she should have chosen a better word!
personally, for me these situations come down to halal/ haram, so as long as both are muslim, race should not matter
