A huge percentage of rapes are date rapes and it happens when both parties are drunk. The Nordic countries have a huge drinking culture. It is not disrespect that causes these rapes, it is miscommunication because neither person has enough control over their faculties. The Japanese don't drink as mu...

The cleric didn't incite attacks. He just gave the men a good mental justification for if they do decide to rape a woman who was not covering up. He also lets the women know that they should keep their mouths shut and don't complain if they are raped because it was their fault for not covering up.

Maybe the men are more easily able to pay for s.e.x and don't feel the need to rape? Kanelli....rape isnt for s e xual fullfilment or pleasure....its for dominance, power, and sense of control. That is true for the most part, but in so many cases of rape it happens because the two people were drunk...

If there is a ladies forum there should also be a gents forum - it is only fair. Then Yorky can post all kinds of s.e.xist pics and we ladies won't have to view that on the general forums.

kanelli

What about putting both threads in the General Forum? Then we don't have to worry about people thinking they have a chance of romance with the DF royalty

Bear, these women who believe in women's rights don't believe it is fair for a woman to hit a man either. It is a given! The majority of the cases of abuse are men beating their women so that is why they say a man has no right to beat a woman. I can't believe I even have to explain this.

kanelli

Kanelli, do you get the feeling that prices have peaked, what with the Dubai Marina apartments coming on stream soon and the many residential towers in Barsha? Another precipitous hike like that next year would probably cause an uproar like nothing ever seen before :D My lease (also Springs) was re...

The rent board has been ruling overwhelmingly in the favour of tenants. The main excuse given by landlords is "my brother is moving in", but the rent board doesn't let them get away with it. They have to have given proper notice and show intent to live there etc.

kanelli

Yes Bear, you have a good point - the language could be used more accurately. Chocs, you have a point too. I know of some cases where the men have been battered and don't want to talk about it or report it to authorities. I don't necessarily agree that verbal abuse is more likely to happen to men th...

Biologically, homose.x.uality is deviant because you can't produce offspring. However, you see homose.xu.ality occurring in many animal populations on this planet - so biologically it seems that hom.se.x.uality will exist in a certain percentage of the population. If you look at things from a non-re...

I'm not sure what you mean Sage, please clarify.

kanelli

Shafique, you must have missed all the posts where the different reasons and causes of rape were discussed. We can play with stats forever if you like. For example, can you tell me that Japanese women have as high a reporting rate for rape that the women in the Nordic countries have? Do you suspect ...

The message of the cleric was that the cats can't be faulted for eating the uncovered meat. So yes, the cleric was implying that men are like cats and can't help but eat the uncovered meat - so they can't be faulted. It also implies that women who have not covered themselves should expect to be fed ...

As far as I heard, when you have a case pending with the rent board you don't have to move out. Yes, you have to keep up with all the proceedings which are done in Arabic, and you need to take some time off work to attend to everything. It is worth it in the end if you consider how many days you wou...

Mr. and Mrs. Inquirer, I respectfully ask you to piss off and find some other internet forum to crap in. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

So Bushra, do you want the men to join our Ladies forum?

I believe that in hindsight he likely sees how offensive his comparison was. Everyone makes mistakes, and it is excellent that he apologised. In the case of both the Pope's offensive comments and this Imam's offensive comments - the damage is likely done, despite the apologies. That is the sad part....

1) Good job opportunity for my husband, which means more responsibility, more power, more interesting work, as well as promotion and more money.
2) Curiosity about the Middle East and desire to live somewhere else in the world before settling down in one of our home countries.

kanelli

Dubai Girl, we didn't get any either. We left our friends' place in Springs 4 and it was full of Trick or Treating children and families who were going door to door. Maybe people had organised in their own Springs or Meadows or something?

My guess is that she is Palestinian.

Irshad Manji is very intelligent. I've seen her interviewed. http://www.muslim-refusenik.com/

I have already explained my perspective throughout all my posts. I can't add anything more. It is completely inappropriate to preach to men that uncovered women are putting themselves out there for attack in a country where the majority of the women are uncovered. There is no correlation between a w...

I guess they are staying in Romance when they are aren't related to Romance at all.

Oh well, if I win and someone wants to date me - they have to ask my husband first.
