Shura by Graeme Lothian. (AP)

Shura is an Arabic word meaning 'consultation'. It is mentioned three times in the Quran as a praiseworthy activity. ISAF forces sit down to discuss local events and to exchange views over a pot of sweet tea. Sitting cross-legged, the ISAF are allowed to wear their boots and the locals fully understand that Europeans cannot sit cross-legged for even a short time.
