If you really had read any of my posts on this forum you will plainly see that I feel free to criticise the US often. I don't see how me disagreeing with people storming the US embassy and killing people makes me pro-US. Can you explain how it makes me so?

The family that Bushra mentioned in the post above mine. The one who disowned the raped girl who was pregnant and then subsequently killed herself.

CNN is an American channel and those who were killed were mostly American. The audience of CNN is primarily American. Do you have an issue with American media remembering an important historical event in American history? Holy crap people! :lol: There should be memorials to people killed all over th...

Well, shame on the community. They must be a bunch of ignorant people. This is the problem I have with people saying that women's rights are well respected in some cultures when they are clearly not. Only ignorant people blame raped girls for being raped and pregnant. No woman who has been raped des...

I criticised armed gunman storming an embassy to kill people. I would have said the same thing if we were talking about an embassy from any other country. Methinks you are jumping to conclusions about my motives.

If people in Dubai didn't drive like complete assholes I wouldn't have to buy an SUV, but they do... I'd like to survive my stay in this country, thanks :) Since Lexus don't sell their hybrid SUV's here, I decided to go with one of the cars on my Green Car list - which was carefully researched. I pu...

But you know, I feel that some people only want to hear others agree with them. Let's say a group of expats in Dubai are hanging out in the food court of a mall. A bomber tosses a couple of grenades in the middle of them and blows them all to bits. Men, women and children. Should the expats on this ...

Well, in the past two days I have almost been in 4 accidents. Yesterday, three near-misses. One was my friend's fault because she didn't check her blind spot. The other two were other people driving badly. Today in the learner's car some truck almost hit me because he didn't check his blind spot.

Africa keeps getting abused and neglected by the international community, but you don't see Africans all over the world storming embassies to shoot people, or sending suicide bombers into public areas to kill as many people as possible. Moderate Muslims will ask that question, but then ultimately th...

That's because you are too busy flying past everyone at 150 kmph

(Kidding!)

Here are a few questions for the Muslim folk on this forum. 1) Do you think that Al Qaeda has the right to attack the UAE because it disagrees with the liberal Islam practiced here. 2) Do you think that Al Qaeda has the right to use terror to try to expel non-Muslims from Muslim lands, including the...

But that doesn't matter Chocs, the fact remains that pork and alcohol are forbidden to Muslims. Islam is practised in many different ways, just like Christianity. There are plenty of Catholics using birth control, for example. The world 100% full of hypocrits

kanelli

We all know that Muslim women have to follow very different rules than Muslim men. Some say it is still equality, while others would disagree...

kanelli

The problem is, everyone thinks they are practicing their religion or belief better than others, and that is where the hypocrisy comes in. Some Muslims will look down on others who eat pork, yet they themselves go out to the bar and drink alcohol. That was part of the point I was trying to make.

I agree that Canada should take all personnel out of the Middle East. We should also stop all trading with the Middle East as well so as not to have any economic manipulation going on either.

kanelli

valkyrie, you are a real piece of work. You are an extremist of sorts - just can't figure out what kind to classify you as

kanelli

So the family did nothing about the person who abused her?

kanelli

Sniper, as I said before - the world is 100% full of hypocrits. That means that every person on this planet is hypocritical from time to time.

kanelli

Yes, of course - being a family member gives you a free pass to molest and rape - at least in some families it seems.

kanelli

The only reason I'm in Dubai is because it is liberal when it comes to women's dress. If I wanted to live in a strict Islamic country I'd have moved to Saudi.

kanelli

Very true. Isn't it that murder, rape and abandoning your religion are the three main sins that give a death penalty under Sharia law?

kanelli

Valkyrie, are you a member of Al Qaeda? If not, it doesn't really matter to me what you think valid targets are since we are talking about Al Qaeda here. :D As I pointed out before, Al Qaeda seems to attack only government officials and civilians. They don't tackle military targets in the Middle East.

kanelli

Ha ha! As if people need a film to give them the idea...

kanelli

Sniper, is this a new concept to you? How many presidents and politicians have been murdered in the US compared to other countries...

kanelli

Read your original post MaaaD and then read my post again. I didn't pull my comments out of thin air.

kanelli

Actually, it is for men too Sara.

I just read CBC, very shocking. It could likely be another misogynist, or someone pissed off at being booted out of school for poor academic performance or something. The article I read didn't say if all the victims were females - so don't know if the motives were likely similar to that of the Marc ...

kanelli

Valkyrie, it is smart for you to ask me what I support instead of assuming. I support Israel's right to exist. Why? Because IT DOES exist and I don't want to see Israelis/Jews slaughtered. Having said this, I also support the Arabs/Muslims in the neighbouring countries who deserve a fair deal. Curre...

kanelli

valkyrie, are you saying that the 9/11 attacks where thousands of people were killed was "a few white workers"? If you knew anything about the 9/11 attacks you'd have known that those workers from all over the world. There were people of Asian, African, Mexican, Middle Eastern decent who w...
