I was very impressed to read that a fellow halfie had gone to Libya to fight on the front-line in Ras Lanuf. I don't really like how The Sun have written this article (it's just so simple and unintelligent!) but at least the story is out there.
Half-Libyan man goes to fight in Ras Lanuf
Some of the comments are totally misguided though. Yet more people who do not understand what it means to be mixed-race and carry two passports. Like the bright spark who asked what the government would class Adam Fadhil as in case anything happened. Uhh, he's both? You don't get that? We can actually carry two passports and get the protection from either or both of them. For example, if I got stuck in Libya I could ask the British Embassy for help. As a British citizen, I am well within my rights to do that. I was born in the UK and have an English mother, just like Adam. If you don't like that, well then you are racist.
Then someone else was asking if we want Adam back after the fighting is over, as he will now have experience with guns. Do you think he's going to go around shooting everyone? His gun skills are for helping the rebels in Libya! Would anyone say that about a 'hero' British soldier? Look how many of them are walking around, experience with guns, bombs, you name it, yet they are not mentioned as potential murderers once they get back here? Exactly, because it's unfair to assume they will come back and shoot everyone they see...... So the same goes for Adam. He is a freedom fighter, not some wannabe murderer.
One thing that does make me happy is, at least Adam has gone to fight, unlike those who come and shout in the streets here and burn poppies, but they don't actually go and help their Muslim brothers and sisters to fight. Good on you Adam, and inshallah you will come back with victory.
