what we forget: food is a weapon to these people
has been for centuries
they use it
they dont like it used against them
food is a central weapon being used in Afghany in recent months

Somalia is loaded with camps
just a hop across Arabian Sea to west Saudi Arabia
west SA is the hotbed of Islamic Fundy recruiting

that part of the world has totally different value system
almost everything is seen as a threat, a weapon, an outside force, impure
