Her own daughter with Archie, although not beautiful, has her father's soul, and similarly seeks out love and friendship with members of other religions, races, and classes.
Thus, the ideological excesses of religious, class, and other forms of identity that hem individuals in within modern Britain are overcome through human elemental desires to enjoy sensuality and to take delight in beauty and other delights of the flesh. To take one small, personal example of desire and commonality -- Samal, for example, does not believe because of his Muslim heritage that he should drink. But because a frothy Guinness is such a delight in modern England, and such an important form of male social bonding, Samal comes to a rationalization that he can enjoy alcohol, though it is religiously prohibited, so long as he does not masturbate at night. Funny as this bargain is to the reader's ear, it is illustrative of Smith's view that life is a continual personal ethical negotiation, rather than obedience to a series of absolute prohibitions because of one's racial or religious background -- and as life is such a negotiation, there is still hope for commonality between the races and religious and multiethnic fabric of England.
Quite often, people are more tolerant than what their religion dictates in practice. For example, Samal fears that his son will marry white girls -- but he accepts Archie's multiracial marriage without question, as does Samal's wife. In fact, Archie's own daughter, half Black and...

Skies 2003, etc. Clear Skies 2003/Clean Air Act of 1990 The issue of clean air has been around probably since the first caveman objected to the smoke from a neighbor's fire. During the Industrial Revolution in England, numerous contemporary novels make reference to the condition of the air in major cities, fouled by the new growth of smokestacks. So, despite having been an issue for public discussion and legislative activity --
Furthermore the rhetoric here is rich in symbolism. Dr. King draws parallels between the response of violence to his peaceful protests and other great personalities whose commitment to justice, truth, and love also had unintended and unfortunate consequences.
