I agree with much of what you are saying here. By the way, it might sound quite ridiculous to say this but due to how strongly I identified with the character of Yentl (played Barbara Streisand) and saw so many commonalities with my own desire for education which's for Yentl, runs opposite to conservative elements in Muslim families; also tha was a family we had our windows smashed quite regularly by Uk skinheads, (so I identified with Jewish suffering during Kristelnacht, when I learnt about it at school) ; I also had good experience with the military police at the airport in Israel - but that was back in 2004... the whole society has lurched towards control by sociopaths it seems.
