Liban, I can't find the threads at the moment, but you did bash non-practising Muslims. If someone else finds an example for me first, please do post it here to refresh Liban's memory. I'm sure there are many Muslims who dislike you speaking for them. Maybe you'll post a long thread with some actual...
The car we bought here would cost at least 10,000 CAD more if we bought it in Canada - so for those of you who didn't already buy a car just before moving to Dubai - buy your car here.
Wow, I actually found a thread where you are doing your religion proud. I wonder if a lot of it is cut and paste from elsewhere, but you compiled it here nicely, http://www.dubaiforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=2567&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 The common complaint from me and others is yo...
Thanks for the explanation Liban. I'd like to point out that it isn't admirable to play games on a forum. Be who you are, don't hide behind your avatar to say things you may not mean, just to stir things up or offend people. If you are not confident enough in who you are to express yourself consiste...
yshimy, one car dealer we dealt with said that many people over-extend themselves finacially and can't afford to keep their new cars - that's why they end up for sale with really low kms.
Liban said, "It is my opinion that only Muslims ought to be allowed to be naturalized after some little time and only if they are fluent in Arabic or of the Arab race." So what about the second and third generation Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and Philipinos who live and work here? The UAE is t...
In Canada they are going to change the law to force you to know one of the official languages before becomig a citizen. The only thing Canadian I will renounce is YOU Kanelli... As for the speaking Arabic. The UAE is an Arab country, so only logical to speak Arabic to come here.... You know, Englis...
Liban, where is your evidence that I am racist? Please feel free to post it. :lol: I have friends from many different cultures with many different religions and skin colours who can attest that I am no racist. You made a racist comment about who should get UAE citizenship and who shouldn't. If you w...
If only you'd adequately address my first post Liban... still waiting for that. Why are you focusing on the language part of my comment? It is definitely NOT unreasonable to expect people to speak the language of the country they want citizenship for. That wasn't my point! I think it is UNFAIR to sa...
Very interesting! I've always admired that in Islam one must take car of one's own body - keeping it as clean and unadulterated as possible. Even if one is religious or not - the body is a pretty amazing thing that shouldn't be abused and taken for granted. Yes, I know - easier said than done!
Okay, slightly related but slightly off-topic... Have you all seen the Pink music video called "Stupid Girl". It relates to what Liban said about being more than just physical beauty.
How nice to see some positive female messages for once.
Liban, Hypothetically though, if a nuclear attack was made, what could/would the 'muslim world' do? There is precious little unity at the moment - nothing was done to curb the Taliban, nothing is being done to help the Muslims in Chechnya, nothing was done to help the Muslims in Bosnia and Kosovo (...
I think that Arabs and Muslims should take responsibility for their own leaders and the divisions between their countries and religious sects. Blaming the West, the US, or "Zionist" puppet-masters (whoever they are and whatever that means) is just one big lousy excuse. Most leaders in the world have...
I think that emiratisation is necessary in the long run and will be successful, but definitely there will be a long period of awkward and inefficient functioning in the meantime.
Western covers the main ideologies shared by Western countries, for example, separation of church and state, democracy, freedom of speech, women's rights, higher tolerance for other cultures and religions, less bureaucracy, and there is also more consumerism and capitalism methinks - at least in Nor...
