I changed the background to the previous color. Is it easier on the eyes now?

Here is how Dubai Forum looks on my Linux machine.

: Dubai Forums Style 2012

Ideally it should look like this in modern browsers on all OSes.
If it does not look like this on your PC try to refresh the page, it's the F5 button for many browsers.
If it doesn't help you can try to clean the browser cache.

I don't think it's about islam or religion in general it's about stupid traditions that are not compatible with a modern and civilised society.

These kind of traditions related to honour and marriage were common in europe once.

Andyba

If the practice is so unislamic then can anyone explain why the perpetrators in the UK are predominately muslim? :? I think that is because Pakistan etc. where the general level of education is quite low and old traditions are still strong happens to be a Muslim country. I know that arranged marria...

I tried to google Airfix models in Dubai.
Didn't find anything.
Lets hope someone will help you.

"As noted by Christian Arab writer, Norma Khouri, honor killings originate from the belief that a woman’s chastity is the property of her families, a cultural norm that dates back to 1200 B.C. , under the rule of Hammarabi and other Assyrian tribes." [21] from Wikipedia :) 1200 B.C. there ...

Thank you.

Are you saying that most Charity and prayer in the world is caused by Islam?

Using Action keys. Dubai Forums has some keys linked to specific functionality, but unfortunately different browsers activate action keys differently. Chrome and Internet explorer use: Alt + Action Key . Firefox : Shift+Alt+Action Key Opera : "Shift+Esc" will pop up a window with a list of...

Chocoholic , thank you. :) People, have you tried the new @ quick quote functionality? How do you like it? Is it intuitive? May be I should just create another button beside the reply button in the message? Or even better replace the reply button in the message with the new functionality... What do...

The Golden Rule or ethic of reciprocity is a maxim, ethical code, or morality that essentially states the following: One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself. or simpler Treat others as you would like others to treat you. A key element of the Golden Rule is that a person att...

Dillon , what do you mean, can you give an example of attempt to exploit someone following this rule? I don't think there is a question of how far it extends, as it is about not being hypocrite. Well people don't like to consider them self hypocrites, so it is easier to talk about how far the rule ...

What if there is no such thing as paradise?

Andyba

The only hope is if the Simulators liked our character enough, they might recreate us in another simulation :D Keep your fingers crossed. What if there is a separate simulation of paradise and the sum of all information that is our consciousness is automatically moved to it after death in this simu...

No. Not in this universe. If you ignore the form and consider the substance behind the symbols 2+3 = 5

In another story, Many Christians are leaving Christianity everyday because they are discovering that bible is nothing but a lie.

Andyba

So far: No Bible passage saying unbelievers go to hell has been presented. Here is one. :) Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly and UNBELIEVING and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and b...

The concept of God controls the sin in the society. If the concept of God is removed, lot of people will do lot of sins since already the ways to escape the punishment in courts are already available. False. USSR was an atheist country and the level of morales among people was the same or even high...

Or can we actually make a choice, other than that we are "destined" to make? Here is an interesting Idea: Imagine having a clone of our universe, IE: plants, animals, weather, Humans, even the experiences, thoughts, memories, synapses of all brains, down to the atomic level etc, .but neith...

Everything works fine, but the @ sign isn't visible in the 'Topic Review Window' if you wish to reply to multiple posters. You mean if the posts are on different pages? Otherwise you can add multiple quotes with the @ by scrolling to those posts. BTW in the Topic Review Window if you click on the Q...

I can change your username to BM, that's the only way to automatically use BM instead of Bethsmum.

Empathy is a very complex skill, which cannot be taught. Actually Buddhists teach it through various mental practices, but that is a different story. Imho, The Golden Rule is not about sacrifice. I don't want people to make sacrifices for me, because it is harmful for me in the long run. For me the...
