Let me post a question. Why is it OK for Muslims, not religiously speaking, to consume alcohol but they don't eat pork? I know many muslims who have no problem drinking but they wouldn't touch pork. It can't be purely religious, they are both forbidden. Not to single out any one but a good example ...

It's not the language I'm referring to - it's the accent.

I come from south London but how would I be perceived if I tried to speak as if I went to Oxford, Eton or Harrow?

So.. You took a job/opened a business in Dubai (just like everyone else). Fell out with your boss/partner (happens all the time). Had your passport taken away (many companies still do this).

During a religiouis rite called the Eucharist, Catholics (not all Christians) believe that bread and wine after being blessed become the body and blood of Christ and are then consumed by each religious devotee.
