Seems like I have a lot to learn about Ethiopia. I didn't know that there was such a high percentage of Muslims there.

I met a nice old Estonian man in downtown Canberra today (we say Canberra CBD in Australian but anyway). He was telling me what a wonderful place Hitler's Germany was (he arrived there in 1944 when he was 17). About how the SS fought for God against the anti-Christ Jews and Communists. Hitler supported the church very strongly you see. How the Gypsies didn't want to work and were thieves and therefore needed to be rounded up. How the Germans only rounded up French Jews because they were spies and terrorists for the Resistance. What a decent man Hitler was. How you can't rely on what you read in the Allied histories of the war like Churchill's memoirs and lots of other stuff (he's been in Australia since 1954). He subscribed to the "sleeper" theory that Afghan refugees coming here will emerge later as terrorists. You see when Estonian refugees came here they were accepted because they never were in trouble with the police, unlike people from concentration camps. Well there was lots more, it was hard to get away from him. Of course I told him I was English or I would never have heard all that stuff.
