[GNXP] New Post Up
Mar. 24th, 2005 10:16 pmHere, a post linking to today's posts on Ukrainian Muslims and Algerian Christians. It strikes me that the Ukrainian and Algerian situations are somewhat similar: two poor if promising countries on the fringes of a unifying Europe, both currently in the position of supplying raw materials and human labour to their former colonizers, both with enough space and.or impetus to prompt radical cultural shifts. The ideas of a re-Christianized Kabylia, or a Ukraine proportionally as Muslim as France or Germany, are just provocative enough to be potentially realizable.
