Don’t know anything about The Conversation or what its agenda might be in publishing this article (does anybody else know?) but, well, it’s good news.
And the photo is hot. “…σαν τα κρύα νερά.”

P.S. “‘68% agreed that religious prescriptions should be excluded from legislation, even if believers hold a parliamentary majority, and 72% opposed the law mandating all women wear the hijab, the Islamic veil.'”

Me, I'm Nicholas Bakos, a.k.a. "NikoBako."

I live all over the place these days. The rest should become obvious from the blog.
