Western double standards: "Anti-Jewish cartoons are repugnant and uncivilized! But anti-Islamic cartoons are OK with us!" Kanelli "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 a...

What's it about? Got a translation?

kanelli

Okay, if you want to take it that way - the Pope's speech "harrassed" people to the same extent that Ahmadinejad's comments about Israel and the holocaust offended Jewish people. I doubt you see the two situations as equitable though. Were you calling on Ahmadinejad to apologise? I don't r...

kanelli

Okay, thanks anyways.

Well, I should be learning some Arabic at some point... Thanks Sara! I have a growing collection of Arabic music because I love it, unfortunately, I don't understand most of the lyrics...

Tabouleh is one-of-a-kind! It is the salad of all salads.

DArling Sniper is my target of choice for harrassment this weEK

kanelli

Which song Sara? The link only goes to Fayrouz's page that contains many songs.

kanelli

Welcome mema! There are certainly some hot topics on here, but in the end it is very interesting and you can make lots of nice friends here.

kanelli

MS, did you read the whole speech by the Pope or just that bit that has been published in the media? I have read his apology and yes, he did do a quick and superficial job of it. His apology does not address the main points of contention.

Good point Sniper, and MS, I find that you do just as good a job of stereotyping the West as you feel the West is doing about Islam.

I can access it, but I live in DIC service area.

Nokia is a Finnish company, so why on earth would that be on a boycott Israel list? That list is laughable. I support a boycott of Israel, but get the freaking companies right.

Life and nature are all about balance, and anyone living in a country that is doing too well for too long should be a bit nervous. There is always an undoing... Great civilisations fall. If the US falls, then maybe China and India will rise (sorry, don't see the Middle East becoming the next superpo...

kanelli

For me to decide... ? What, are you now taking me for the US government?

If you don't like my definition, then why don't you offer one up? Or are you like one of the other posters who likes separate groups into only good and bad?

kanelli

World War 3 will start out with Middle East vs. West, and then China and India will become involved and align themselves in a strategic way. Actually, I wasn't really thinking that India would be too interested in fighting for any dominance yet - more likely China would align with the Middle East to...

I'd be careful on here responding to and giving contact details to men who PM you. If you are up for one-night stands or offer paid services, then go ahead I guess. Beware though, even some men claiming to be good religious boys are sleeping around with single and married women, and breaking hearts ...

kanelli

Exactly dubai girl! He's a bloodthirsty guy obviously. :evil: Valkyrie, did you enjoy it a couple of days ago when a suicide bomber in Kandahar approached a Canadian army convoy that was distributing pencils and notebooks to a horde a children and blew himself up? He killed and injured more than jus...

Great posts Shaf.

Oh so companies have to suffer because they also do business with Israel? I'll have to check on the R&D claim because I don't think that is correct. Despite that, Nokia is a Finnish company, not an Israeli company or Israeli product.

kanelli

I have always seen the main issues as being political ones and am really annoyed that it has now turned into religious issues. It is crucial to separate the two.

kanelli

So boycotting Nokia because it does business with Israel is legit? Please explain the logic of punishing a Finnish company because it does business with one small market area.

kanelli

Well, what company doesn't sell its goods in Israel? Everyone had better stop buying anything anymore in that case. Also, why should Finland's economy suffer because some people don't like it that Nokia sells phones to Israel? It sounds like misplaced boycotting to me.

kanelli

tdot, in case you haven't noticed, the topics in these hot threads move fast and some points can be overlooked. I wouldn't jump to conclusions about why peope respond or why they don't.

kanelli

Man, it is an adventure getting a license here. I'm training with Emirates Driving Institute and currently trying to jump throught their hoops to get my license. They are very professional, but still because of how the system is set up - I feel like I am paying a lot of money to jump through hoops, ...

kanelli

So you were as bad as the men here in Dubai who gawk at women in longs sleeves and long pants.

Guess it is about what you are exposed to...

kanelli

My DF friends are fab!

kanelli

I think they do have acceptance, but it could slip. With all the anti-Islam propaganda there could be a heck of a lot less acceptance of Muslims in those countries. But of course, not all of it is propaganda, there are Muslims tarnishing the religion badly.

kanelli

Kanelli, I am not up for one-night stands or offer paid services, I work and have a boyfriend...and yes, I don't give my phone number to anyone who I have never met... That's good! Unfortunately, that won't stop some of the shady men on this forum from contacting you under the guise of "friend...
