I do it because I am bored... You will have to do it for your own personal reasons...be careful of when they call out the jet fighters...but pilots are usually hot, so for me that is a good thing!!!
LOL

The kasbah is a unique kind of medina, or Islamic city.
It was the place for the local leader to live and as a defense when the city was under attack. A kasbah has high walls which usually have no windows. Sometimes, they were built on the top of hills to make them easier to defend. Some of them were also placed near the entrance of harbours.
Having a kasbah built was a sign of wealth of some families in the city. Almost all cities had their kasbah, this building being something necessary for the city to survive. When colonization started in 1830, in northern Algeria, there were a great number of kasbahs that lasted for more than 100 years.
The word casbah has a slightly different meaning. The Spanish word alcazaba is a cognate naming the equivalent building in Andalusia or Moorish Spain.

The Clash's 80's hit "Rock The Casbah" was a political poke at Middle East tensions of the time. A casbah is the middle east equavilent to our bars and discos.
Basically, the song's about having OPEC leaders all meet up in this hip casbah--a prime opportunity for our jet fighters to buzz by and bomb the place.
