"Wonky"?
What is this "wonky"?
You should tell us about "wonky". Well, they're really weird. For example, there's this clan that goes around calling themselves the lost tribe of Israel, or something, complete with silly justifications on how they ended up in this part of the world and are black.
There are also only two t.v. channels here. One is the BBC, the other is some evangelical Christian station using American programming.
I don't think that they're prone to terrorism because they seem to have an infinite capacity to absorb / assimilate other beliefs into their own, essentially making one big super-pantheon of gods etc., even though Christianity is supposed to be monotheistic.
