Well Skiff me ol' matey cock.
The English abroad, unfortunately have the habit of taking a little bit of England along with them. Very few of my English friends in Bahrain even noticed the similarity between Arabic music and dancing and English folk music and Morris Dancing.

During the celebrations of Ashur, the Shias paraded in the streets with music and dancing. Their drum was the spitting image of a bodhran. They even had a hobby horse that would have done any English Morris team proud. It was interesting to note that the hobby horse was intended to mock the British military.

Bukara InshAllah, Sultan Al-Hansell.
