As a note on idiomatics the, presumably Chinese, lady
on this morning's broadcast 'Culture Shock' seemed to
enjoy the benefits of an editing suite on being assured
by an enthusiatic man that he was looking forward to
eating her delicious meat.
To Those Learning English: beware!
In terms of double-meanings, I ...

muslim community think bla ...
