I completely agree about the hypocrisy. I wonder if the UK will be any better. Not hopeful. Boris Johnson, London's mayor will have a lot of the decision making. Boris (see my article here) understands Islam all right, but he talks the diversity talk.

Islam and the Olympics. This is a story that must be plastered on every wall of every sports venue. Saudi Arabia, that wealthy paradise of of the noble beduin riding his magnificent Arab stalllion blah blah blah. There was an outcry in the Arab Times about the poor performance of Saudi equestrian team. There was an angry retort from the organizationn that it was not their fault at all, their very best rider was short of only one little thing, to wit, a horse.
