I am so sad that a nun has been killed because of over-reactions to the Pope's speech.

I wonder if Muslims are now going to be as vicious as the Israelis were over the past couple of months in Lebanon.

kanelli

Yeah, I once wore my golf skirt to breakfast with Mr. and Mrs. Arniegang

I only wore it because I hadn't done my laundry. Yes, I did wear a bikini at the pool, but hey - pools are for swimwear.

Liar!

How touching, I nearly needed a hanky after reading your message.

Shaf, I'm surprised if you thought I was slighting the Lebanese in any way, because I wasn't. My point is that some Muslims have acted violently in the wake of the Danish cartoons and now the Pope speech fiasco, so are they not equally as guilty of over-reacting as some people accuse the Israelis of...

How am I being insensitive? I said the Israeli army were vicious in the defence of their right to maintain a homeland. I also think that some Muslims are being vicious in their defense of Islam. Each one over-reacted and has been violent and murderous in order to protect their strong beliefs. There ...

Christians seem to be more capable of handling criticism and humour about their religion, so I doubt that the Pope's speech and subsequent uproar will cause a huge stir amongst the Christian population and make them murderous in defence of the Pope or Christianity. Let's see. I suppose there could a...

People should not post their pics on this forum unless they are so bored that they want to tempt a stalker or cause problems for themselves.

Are moderate Muslims doing enough?

kanelli

The Taleban are terrible! But hey, if the US is happy to live under George Bush, why should I complain about the Afghans wanting the Taleban back?

kanelli

Arnie seems to have understood what I was saying, and Shaf, you are right - I certainly do not want to come off as racist or Islamophobic in my posts. I'll try to word more carefully but sometimes I just don't see all the possible interpretations. I wasn't comparing the fact that Israel and Hezbolla...

kanelli

How touching, I nearly needed a hanky after reading your message. Is everything in life joke to you? I take that as a compliment, since many people think I could use a little more humour. Shaf, I had read an article about he victims of 9/11, especially ones who suffered significant losses of number...

kanelli

I do no such thing, and fully expect that card to be played by people like you. (you=ones with radical ideas who can't stand anyone disagreeing with them).

Edit: This reply was to the original wording of your post, that you have now drastically changed.

If a girl was raped when she was 6 and then again she got S e x ually assaulted about 4 times when she was 7/8. It was a family member and she can't remember who did it from between the ages of 6-8? If she has buried the memories she should see a professional. I would think that seeing the family m...

Disgusting behaviour on the part of Israeli soldiers - very sad

kanelli

The fault is on both sides. Families shouldn't sell their children and leaders shouldn't accept the practice of using children sold into the services. Valkyrie, human trafficking for prostitution is going on everywhere, including the UAE. Israel could be prosecuted, but then so should every other co...

The West can label things anti-semitic and anti-Islamic - which in fact they did. The beauty of free speech is that anyone can print what they want and anyone can criticise what they want. I don't see how the West was hiding behind anything - free speech is free speech - and it comes with its own co...

kanelli

I am really interested in knowing if kanelli can define what is a moderate muslim and then she should also define what is a moderate christian?. This will provide us a means of comparison between a moderate muslim and a moderate christian(unless she thinks there is no such thing as a moderate chris...

kanelli

Are moderate Muslims doing enough? There is no such thing as moderate or Fundementalist muslims...a muslim is muslim. There are good muslims and there are bad muslims...in the same way as there are bad and good Christians or Jews or Hindus...so please stop dividing muslims into classifications that...

kanelli

Palkid has hit the nail on the head.

kanelli

No she doesn't.

kanelli

You are stereotyping! The West in general fights for the right to maintain free speech. It doesn't mean that everyone thought the cartoons weren't offensive. Can't you tell the difference between the two issues? And if I met a person who objects to anti-semitic cartoons yet thinks anti-Islam ones ar...

kanelli

Well, they could live in the Springs and Meadows if there were enough guys sharing the place. They could have over 50 guys sharing the same place or camping outside, for example. This is what has been happening in some villas in residential areas in other parts of Dubai.

kanelli

I disagree. First of all, only a few countries legally penalise people for denying the holocaust - not the entire West. And I personally think those laws are ridiculous. Secondly, everyone has a right to free speech, but not to harrass people. For example, if people speak out against h.o.m.o.s.e.x.u...

That is why they are cracking down

But finding affordable accommodation is what is so difficult for these men who are just trying to send enough money home to support their families.

kanelli

I agree with St. Lucifer and raidah's posts.

kanelli

The Pope's speech is not harrassment, it is free speech.

kanelli

Yes, fair points. I agree. I tend to get a little irked by "conversion" stories. I have some religious friends and family who enjoy it when people convert to their faiths, because it makes them feel better about their religion and helps them justify it as being the one true and superior re...
