I doubt they are changing your culture Guest, they may be applying it in a different way. In the UK it is not OUR culture to be seperatist or secular, some would say it is our downnfall particurlarly in keeping traditions alive, but on a more general level it is our saving grace and makes our multicultural society for the most part tolerant. I realise you come from a place where that has not happened before, but in part it makes life for you and I more tolerable. You will no doubt have come acros those who want to keep England English, who practise their brand of tradition, in a fist punch or a mouthful of abuse. Don't apply those values to yourselves and do not bad mouth your countrymen who want for the love of music, to integrate and learn about other cultures. It does not make them less proud of who they are, just as when I sing an Irish song or a Scottish ballad it makes me less English. Set your natonalistic arrogance aside and be as willing to learn as much about our culture as we want to learn about yours, which I can assure you we do. Most people here consider those musicians you talk about to be friends and proud to be Kurdish -isn't that the message you want to be spread?
