I still fail to see your reasoning as to why the drunk should be described as a terrorist. You have a chip on your shoulder because muslims get described as terrorists and you want to see somebody else tarred with the same brush. In certain countries he would have been shot ??? Name them please. I d...

I guess that British citizens misbehaving through drink is being reported in the same manner that emiratis commiting buggery and male rape, filipino cross dressers and any other person comitting a crime would. Nothing sinister, nothing to get excited about and certainly not something for your anti B...

I think what they are trying to say is that if he were a Muslim or an Arab of some nature, you will see everyone making a huge thing about it and will be charged with a 1000s of crimes but since he is British like chocoholic said ( he is just drunk) ! But if he had been Muslim he wouldn't have been...

C, 'If he was Muslim he wouldn't have been drunk' - PLEASE!!!! A lot of Muslims drink! As soon as they get on aircraft out of here, the national dress comes off and they're downing the booze, heck you see guys in Dish dash in bars here with a pint. I know, I was just stirring it a bit :wink: It is ...

Personally I think the answer to this question is determined by just how much religion means to the individual and how tolerant they are to people with other beliefs. Take Ireland at the height of the troubles, marrying across the divide in Ireland between protestant and catholic would have possibly...

As far as I can see pretty much all religions are outdated, they don't move with the times so young people in particular cannot relate to them anymore. correct (there's not a religion forum that this will be hastily moved to is there ?) Although does that also come down to a change in family values...

Shops, cafes, restaurants, banks, even florists. The service in Dubai is shockingly bad. Most companies here just do not care about the relationship they have with customers and manifest this by employing cheap, underskilled labour. I'm surprised to hear that. I haven't spent a lot of time in Dubai...

I love surveys like this. The Expat Explorer Survey questioned 2,155 expatriates across four continents So, they really went to a lot of time and effort to come up with their figures. Across the 11 categories of perceived luxuries, on average expats reported an increase in eight of these factors, wi...

Emiratis are like brothers to me. I totally support the notion of Emirates being one of the top few countries in world in terms of living standards. But American and Singapore ranking high is bizarre. For sure if you're Muslim in America and an expatriate you're in deep trouble. This is documented ...

quite frankly I'd rather have my fingernails pulled out than be forced to watch cricket again. It's only saving grace is that you can get quite drunk and don't actually have to watch the game. I know the 20-20 matches were introduced to try and make it a quicker more exciting game, and I guess it pr...

It needs a lot more than confiscating sharp objects to help sort out the UK. It's all gone too politically correct. You can't discipline your kids without the fear of being taken to court by social services. Teachers aren't allowed or are too scared to instil any discipline in schools. What happened...

Last year I was away on business for practically the whole of Ramadan so I never really witnessed the changes in day to day life that take place. I'm not somebody who would normally go clubbing so the lack of loud music and inability to dance is something I'm all for. In the morning I leave for work...

Checking by bank statements online I don't appear to have been affected by the card fraud panic sweeping the UAE. No strange withdrawls from my account, no change to my usual withdrawl pattern. So why on earth would Citibank decide to randomly cancel my ATM card as a precaution, reorder a new card f...

A have an inner calm at the moment but that's because the drive to work is stress free and it's easier to find a taxi around half 7 at night if I'm going out

at least you get a choice in Dubai. In Abu Dhabi I can pick up Radio 1 and 2 anytime, if the weather conditions are right I can usually pick up Channel 4 on most of the drive to work and if I'm really lucky I can sometimes make out another english speaking radio station through the static. It could ...

Is CityScape a viable worthwhile exhibition or is it a case of "I can build a bigger development than you" and then in a couple of years the whole project ends up being cancelled ?

I have been living here for almost a year with my girlfriend with no problems. The biggest pain is that every two months "Mrs Scratcher" has to leave for a visa run. "Mrs Scratcher" also does a very good job as acting as a wife....nagging incesently and generally making my life ...

best quote I heard about Dubai was from a Singaporean who had spent a couple of years there.

Dubai is like an expensive wardrobe, it looks nice from the outside but open the doors and you see all the crap that it's trying to hide.

Sadly this happens all the time, I find that's why the majority of people don't indicate, because if you indicate you're moving into a space the bugger behind speeds up and closes the gap - I hate those people. and then the person who sped up to block off the lane has the cheek to get out of their ...

What do you mean no way you could lower your speed? er you simply take your foot off the accelerator and let the other person go. Not brain surgery is it? There is also a little known driving aid in most vehicles called a brake. It's used as often as the indicator. ME: Watch it, this 4WTC is taking...
