Dubai Forums

Please give sources for your beliefs. You cited an article which does not mention Islam/Muslims - and yet want to blame Muslims. :roll: I'm not trying to divert attention from any violence against women, just asking where the Islamophobic myth that Islam is to blame derives from. It can't come from...

Update. No word from the school so I decided to venture home at lunch time to see what was happening. The roads are horrendous. The water is running off the fells and running down the road like a river. I was driving Beths mini which I thought might blow over at any moment. No sign of Beth anywhere ...

I'm not the one who has felt the need to resort to name calling. Labelling a view Islamophobic because it relies on a myth about Islam that so far no evidence has been provided for, is not name calling. Calling someone a numpty for asking you to tell us how many of the criminals were Muslim is agai...

It's ok for old people, like me.

3 years ago I was laid off while working in Dubai. I had an outstanding credit card balance of AED 100,000 with HSBC. I left Dubai for the US without paying. Those acoounts still show active when I log on to online banking. Without morally judging me, I have a question. I'm planning on taking a tri...

Oops sorry, thickos are in numb land so silly question.

I do hope you meant 'driving' Drew!

Ah, I see Mr Duh ( I wish I didn't have a ) PeaSizedC0ck is still at it again. One of the many reason its not worth wasting time on this forum anymore. As for me, I just cameback from Creamfields AUH, earlier was busy with WTD Festival 2011 so been a bit busy, not missing much at all I see ! Munchk...

The article does not metion that the honour crimes are committed by Muslims as this is not politically correct. The press rarely mentions a person's religion nor their colour, as well you know, Shafique. British Asians commit fewer acts, per capita, of domestic violence than the general British popu...

That's offensive and worthy of a ban.

He's just clicked on that it's against the rules to call people names. He accused me of calling him names yesterday when I used one of his favourites. Numpty!

So your latest theory is that it is a media conspiracy theory! :roll: I actually quoted official Europol statistics though. Are they in on the conspiracy too? LOL Cheers, Shafique It isn't a media conspiracy. The Bitish press do not refer to a person's religion, ethic background or colour. Fact. I ...

demise of Islam? nooo nooo no... now that we have Tony Blair's sister-in-law converted to Islam, it definitely must be on the rise.. :d so Why all the shock and horror? http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/nov/03/lauren-booth-conversion-to-islam?fb=native&CMP=FBCNETTXT9038 The only reason she c...

HMS Ocean docked in Plymouth today after a deployment in the gulf. They have been on a seven-and-a-half-month mission which saw them play a key role in operations against the regime of Colonel Gaddafi in Libya. There was much joy as soldiers and sailors were greeted by their families including some ...

OK so how do I quote another post? The 'quote' button has disappeared, you can't seriously tell me I have to copy and paste a quote in. You can't tell me a lady with your experience doesn't know how to reply to a post Chocs! And you're not even blonde :D BTW what colour brown is that? Press the rep...

Bethsmum , Oh the 80's retro gigs are usually packed to the rafters here. People love it! Well yes, if it was Curiousity killed The Cat or Duran Duran or someone like that but Salt n' Pepper? I can only think of one song they did and that was Push It. If you asked me what colour they were I couldn'...

What Drew says is true, however, we do have to bear in mind that many of us come from countries where we've had education and awareness campaigns for years and people are punished for neglect. Did we wear seat belts etc in the70's and early 80's? er nope. You forget that this country is ONLY 40 yea...

Ah that's so great! I spent time on HMS Ocean. She's an amazing piece of kit and all the crew and people who serve on her are truly lovely and wonderful people. Forces friend! That's wonderful :D --- Sat Dec 10, 2011 11:59 am --- There's absolutely nothing, like the feeling of 'Going Home' after a ...

Forgetfulness is also a sign of the onset of dementia, which could account for the repetitiveness of Shafique's posts and the fact that he often quotes his own work.

Don't despair though! I've heard doctors can do wonderful things if caught in it's early stages.

I don't know if any of you have seen this youtube. I just thought I would share it because I can.

I think he's just seen me without make up

I noticed that too FD. May be he is hoping to be a moderator again, or something.

Hello zubber!

It's wonderful that so many are returning in time to spend the holidays together. They have been showing clips of US military returning - surprising families. One guy hadn't been home for 3 years!! To all the great men and women who served on behalf of your country - Merry Chistmas!!! Three years B...

RajSida ,I dont think so you have any problem as banks have insurance coverage This is what happens when you pose a question like this on an internet forum. You get crap answers. Can you imagine the banks having insurance to cover all defaulters? That would mean they wouldn't chase anyone. Harry, s...

What is the root cause of honour killing?

It appears to me that some men can't cope with their women folk having a mind of their own.

OK so how do I quote another post? The 'quote' button has disappeared, you can't seriously tell me I have to copy and paste a quote in. Select the exact text you want to quote and press reply.
