I have not bothered to comment on any of your butting of heads with BM because she chews you up and lays you out before breakfast (plus its done tongue in cheek and made even funnier by the fact that you don't get it), I've stayed well away from entering your recent religious awakening, but to call me out as having double standards, pfffttt for double standards mate look in in the mirror.
You will also note that I do not "double team" with Herve or anyone else for that matter on any point or issue and do not permit myself (for what ever my personal reasons may be) to go prattling on about something that I have no personal experience of.
If you have an issue with Herve then I suggest you take it up with him, as to his "fantastical" claims or the basis for his hatred (let's call it what it is) is both based in fact and justified, from personal experience and detailed examination of the documentation underlying his claim.
You chose to ignore the fact that 98% of Herve venon is directed at the UAE, not anywhere else
As to the truth about what happened with him and others, to paraphrase Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men "The truth ?, you can't handle the truth."
As to Herve's need for help - it's no greater than the therapy that most require when leaving the region and coming to the realisation that what they were subjected to and encountered was way beyond the norm (that would normally be encountered in the west) and that includes many British M(oo)slims [your inflection not mine] of asian origin.
I'm sorry that youve been landlocked there all of your life, but that not anyone on here's fault.
But I'm not going to be drawn further on Sym - a blind man could see he is damaged - and not worth the intellectual effort.
Moving on.
All that you nutters [both sides of the SENSIBLE argument] have served to do is polarise people, not bring them together, its not actually about the religious divide - it's been turned into a geopolitical race rant.
People that ask real questions [Patience for example] get steamrollered in the rush to insult and label - not you Sym or anyone other than Shaf even bothered to pitch in with a sensible answer.
Ah so nothing but double standards it is, could have saved yourself the trouble of plotting that post. Nothing else more than making up assumptions as you call it " signing on the dotted line for Jihad with your brothers" and "recent religious awakenings". Point one thread where I have. The day I take anything said by Eh, Herve and BM seriously is the day Bob's my uncle. Just pointless wang waving from your side because couldn't find anyhting else to discredit. My involvement in all sections of this forum have stayed the same from day one. You on the other hand only come running...
Your conscious only gets troubled when someone says anything agaisnt Israel or Jews, everyone else is fair game. You've only demonstrated that you have no independent thought and gobble up the drivel fed to you by the daily rags with your thread on the 9/11 protests.
You try to smite me for trying to make a better life for myself all the while you sit here in Dubai yourself and even then you have nothing decent to say about the place. The word hypocrisy does not even begin to cover it. You spit in the very plate you eat in. If I have anything negative to say about this place, I think I have a bigger right to do so, I speak the language, know the culture, have spent over three decades of my life here, know the place in and out, have promoted and represented it and love the place to bits and never leave if I didn't have to. If nothing else I am entitled to a valid opinion at the very least.
You on the other hand are a like parasite who will move on to another place once you have sucked as much blood as you can from the host. Hypococrisy and double standards, not even close.
Oh but a few nutters and some criticism of your dearly beloved gets you blue in the face, building bridges ? I don't think so, how come we have never heard a peep from you anywhere else. You are only intrested in what feeds your bias and paranoia and will run to its defense. Everything else is hoo ha.
And how very infantile. You pick and make fun of a poster for the lack of language skills, does that make you feel superior and clever ? Yet you can't mumble of a word of Arabic, the official language of a country you have spent a great deal of time in. Hypocrisy oh no, never !
You keep on reading the daily mail and stay glued to FOX news buddy, while the rest of us are doing just fine here in reality.
