Make me a muslim
A show being aired by Brittains channel four. I've never watched through 18 minutes of video on the internet before with my jaw hanging open- the whole time!
Holy Cow!
Television has reached rock bottom!
Apparently the above link is dead but you can catch them here.

Pela, the Motion Box link shows that the video has been marked private by user.
Didn't you say that you are a Sami? Aftenposten has some photos which may interest you of a Sami wedding. They are at:

No I'm not a Sami. I have lived with them for the most of my life though- even had a couple of Sami girlfriends.
Very interresting pictures though- thank you!
The Samis in the pictures seems to be "Skogssamer" (wood- or lowland Samis).You can tell by their blond hair and their relative high stature. Fjällsamer (Mountain Samis) are (mostly) shorter, with a darker complexion and with asiatic features (Mongoloid eyes and such).
Some resarchers think that the low land Samis is just southern Scandinavians that has taken up the lifestyle of what is said to be asians.
Much is pointing to it as there are Samis in northeastern and in the north of Russia.
There has been some debating over it as some people claims that the Samis are an indigenous people to Sweden, and therefore should have special rights (like hunting and fishing rights and the right to use their snowmobiles in nature reserves)- with some small scale "terrorist" acts also beind done by Samis (blowing up electrical poles- good luck there my Sami friend when you get home and try to fire up that TV-set).
Those who means that Samis IS an indigenous people to Sweden has a tiny bit of a problem though to explain how they got there as the ice sheet from the last ice age melted from the south up northwards and not the opposite...
Well I,m no geologist, historist or climathologist so can't deliver a defenit answer- but neither can they!

Oh, and on a side note. Stockholm has the biggest Sami community in the Northern countrys.
Just a freeko fact...
