The Futility of Naivete

Migration has made the world a more
tangled place of tribal, ethnic, religious
and ideological dimensions altering
the homogeneity treasured by long 
established societies calling themselves 
nations distinct from their neighbours 
rife with their own celebrated heritage
and cultural compacts, dismayed with
the inexorable diminishing of all their
traditions held dear, yet struggling to
warm to the customs, cuisines and the
melding of languages and religions.
On the international stage accepting her
crown of world beauty the young woman
distinguished by "Australia" emblazoned
across her chest, gives thanks to the
country that has hosted generations of
her family and her many and varied
supporters. In her speech extolling the
beauty and serenity of her religion, Islam.
Oblivious by choice that in those nations 
where Islam rules supreme the ulema: 
Imams, Mullahs, Ayatollahs and their
elite, outraged at her lack of Muslim 
modesty issue fatwas so that she is 
well advised to give wide berth to the 
birthplace of her esteemed and so
hugely valued religion to avoid the
penalty awaiting her for attempting to
fuse Islam with freedom and equality.
