In the West, imams often say things like 'Muslims should obey the law of the country they live in'. So if a Muslim finds him/herself living in a democracy, they should obey the laws of the democracy. So democracy seems to be something to be tolerated, but I've never heard of an imam saying that demo...

Nucleus, You seem to be afraid to comment on the subject so you're just posting links. You don't want to agree with Herve (although many Muslims would agree with his last assertion that democracy is un-Islamic.) You also don't want to disagree with him because that might be blaspheme and/or sedition...

I thought all agents listed for free - they charge the tenant.

I won't deal with an agent again - they charge excessive fees to do nothing and make the tenants life difficult.

I know people used to do that a few years ago, but I don't know if it's still allowed. There were also different rules for different nationalities. When I first came here I drove my family over the Oman boarder and turned around and came back as we have Australian passports, but I understood East As...

Looks nice,

Can you get a silhoutte of a person like that? I think that would look good.

Weight loss techniques vary from one person to another. What works for you might not work for others. You need to find a technique that works for you.

I suggest you try it and see how you feel and what difference it makes.

There are a lot of Chinese people in the UAE so your wife will be able to find people to talk to. I expect most of them are staying on work visas or family visas. Why doesn't your employer want to sponcer your wife's visa? It seems a bit unreasonable to expect you to leave your wife behind or make a...

It's very unlikely that that company has ever found anyone a job. It's a common scam in the UAE - it happens a lot. There's lots of ligitimate agencies out there - a lot operating from the UK or some other country because of the restrictions on operating an employment agency here. I suggest you post...

There are some Serbians where I work, but they all have degrees. It certainly helps to have a degree, but it's not a requirement. I suggest you post your CV and see what happens.

The first one is my favourite, but I think it would be more interesting if there was an eye catching silhouette, like an interesting shaped mosque or a person.

The bird is good too, makes you wonder what it's doing walking around in the water like that.

I'm inclined to agree with Casper. PS3 is a little better, but they are not significantly different. PS3 has a blueray player. Controllers recharge via USB ports and you can recharge while you are playing - no need to change batteries which is handy. xbox's are unreliable in my experience. I owned 2...

It's just like the Dubai police to take sides like that. I doubt the police want to take this case to court. The case is based on pure speculation. Have you tried contacting your embassy to see if they can help? Also, I suggest you try talking to the police officer in charge of the police station. Y...

That's right Kanelli, they don't have a case at all, but that won't get his/her passport back.

There are lots.

I've used movers a few times and the movers don't really have any skills or know how. If you want it done properly, you have to take charge. If you want cushions or blankets to separate your valuable furniture, you will need to supply them yourself and show the movers where you want them. If you wan...

I just thought it was hard to imagine someone living in Dubai and driving around without keeping their eyes closed not noticing some MacDonalds drive through's. Apparently Prowheels managed to do this somehow, so maybe they aren't as obvious as I though. It just seems a bit like asking if there is a...

blueshift

Oh, that makes sense then. I guess he wouldn't be driving himself around.

blueshift

That got some cool reactions from some of the servers. Some of them looked absolutely shocked.

It's a bit hard to do stuff like that without a car. Do you plan on walking through the drive through?

blueshift

Do you mean car insurance?

If you buy insurance from the agents at Tasjeel, they seem to be more expensive than buying insurance online.

blueshift

A MacDonalds soft serve costs about 1 or 2 dirhams (I forget which) so it's not a particularly expensive hobby. I think it would be quite challenging to get the desired effect here. Some of the MacDonald staff just looked on completely nonchalant as if every other customer grabs the icecream by the ...

He didn't really sell the appartment on ebay. For one thing, it's not his to sell and it's not possible to sell real esatate on ebay, only advertise it for sale. In most countries, there are complex laws governing real estate transactions so ebay have made it so that it's real estate listings are fo...

blueshift

Point is that selling a property on ebay and getting 5 x market value doesn't necessarily mean anything.

It's an amazing appartment. Looks like so much attention to detail.

blueshift

Sure they did.

You got conned - you bought a car with a leaking head gasket. There would have been subtle signs during your test drive, but apparently you missed them. The mechanic will need to remove the head, machine it flat and reinstall it with a new gasket. 3500 is a bit expensive to do all that, you can prob...

You aren't going to get a new engine for that amount of money. Do you mean a second hand engine from a wrecked car? Is this what they want to do? If so, there is a risk that there could be problems with the replacement engine. --- Thu May 10, 2012 12:26 pm --- Apparently the car wasn't smoking when ...

blueshift

Well I'll never buy a new car - they lose about 10% in value as soon as you drive out of the showroom. A lot of new cars have trouble in the first year, but usually it gets fixed under warranty and it will be better in the second year. Buy at 2 years and sell at 5 if you want a car in like new condi...

blueshift

Well, you will notice this guy 'sold' his appartment several years ago, but is still trying to sell it.

Maybe the appartment fell into a time warp and history is repeating itself.

Maybe the buyer was from another planet and wants to pay in alien currency which is difficult to exchange.

OK, good luck getting someone to listen to your grievance. If you press the button on the ticket dispenser to get a ticket to lodge a complaint - the machine won't give you a ticket. I think this is intentional.

blueshift

There is a site which has this information, it's called google, maybe you've heard of it. Lets just say that you and I live in different worlds. In my world, this guy is a publicity hound concocting semi accurate stories to promote his flegling interior design business and property development ventu...

Interesting use of the word 'we'll', to mean you and ...(crickets chirping).

I think every body else on this thread has realised that his story is quite far fetched.
