We already know that Islam doesn't condone domestic violence, it is just that the women don't get justice is societies where men are favoured as "dominant" - so it is more a cultural issue than religious one. Unfortunately, many conservative societies view men in such a way, so the men can...

I agree with the other poster that said the discrimination in Dubai is based more on nationality than skin colour. People operating with an American passport can often obtain a higher salary compared to those with Indian, Philippines etc. passports. Then, outside of work matters, you feel the tensio...

Conservative societies are found all over the world even in this day in age. There are conservative communities in many Western countries (often religious as well...) where domestic abuse happens and women are taught to put up with it because the man is the divinely appointed head of the household. ...

We have used Dr. Khan and Dr. Noha and they were both great. You can find them at Cooper's Clinic http://www.cooperhealthclinic.com/

Is isn't about "Arabs" or "Muslims" or "Western standards" necessarily. What is wrong with people trying to push for change in a situation that isn't fair? I doubt you'd find any women happy with the way they receive "justice" in a society that supports the me...

Well, just read on ExpatWoman that City of Hope will be closing down this month. I am so sad to hear this news. http://www.expatwoman.com/forum/message ... icID=42890 Hopefully a new solution is found and there will be a shelter once again.

My friends and I breastfed all the time when out in the cafe/restaurant. We covered while we did it and often took seats facing away from the most public part of the restaurant, if it was possible. Some friends weren't into covering, and still we didn't get confronted or get any dirty looks (that we...

Why go to all the trouble of using a breast pump and washing/filling bottles to feed your child out of the home? Just pull up your shirt and viola! Perfect container, perfect dispenser, perfect temperature, nothing to wash up.

Here is a link to Dave's ESL Cafe Job Discussion forum for the UAE. I'm sure you can find lots of info on what different schools pay and what the housing arrangements are like. http://forums.eslcafe.com/job/viewforum ... 932702e59b

So, the bank charges you 10,000 AED to process two cheques, or you are just ripping people off?

kanelli

Yeah... a cash flow issue... The rest of the world pays their rent every month, but the landlords in Dubai have special cash flow issues and need the whole amount in one cheque or they suffer dire financial consequences... :roll: 105,000 for a one bedroom is outrageous. The rental market is going in...

kanelli

ruwan, if you put the same amount of research into those 200 articles you have written as you have about religious freedom in Dubai, I'm guessing the quality of your work is equivalent to that of FOX news in the US.

kanelli

Maybe landlords should start charging 200,000 for a one bedroom, and then a company can take the lease and house 6 of their workers in there. The landlords could make their fortune and help solve the housing crisis at the same time!

Even if it is a crap movie, I'll get to look at Daniel Craig for a couple of hours, so I doubt I'll mind.

kanelli

You are a real piece of work britisharab. Your posts are useless. I won't be feeding this troll in the future.

kanelli

rudeboy, I can't believe you support someone who just comes here to cut and paste propaganda. I bet you'd feel differently about someone coming here and posting anti-Arab or anti-Islam propaganda. You wouldn't be talking about free speech then

kanelli

rudeboy, do you even know what propaganda is?

kanelli

I asked you if you knew what propaganda is rudeboy. Coming to an internet forum and posting cut and paste articles that are stating only negative, one-sided views is propaganda designed to incite people on this forum. britisharab doesn't try to discuss anything, just bombards the forum with crap.

kanelli

Let's cover the men in burkhas so that we can't see them staring. :lol: Concord, I disagree with your statement about many women being racist in their complaints about male attention. You can tell the difference between a man who looks at you like you are beautiful, and one who looks at you like you...

Customer service sucks in Dubai because so many of the staff aren't allowed to make decisions, including the managers. Also, staff don't receive training and they have little motivation to learn about the products being sold/services offered in the business. Thinking outside of the box and trying to...

kanelli

sunilklind, maybe you weren't very serious about looking for a job on here, so just wrote a quick message to see if you would get some bites? I'm sure you are very smart, and likely have a great command of the English language. If you are looking for a job requiring daily use of formal written langu...

Whatever you do, don't book one of those desert safaris, because we did that when we just arrived in Dubai before New Year and it turned out to be total crap. The buses to the desert didn't leave until almost 11 pm (were sitting in buses for almost 2 hrs waiting), we were in the desert waiting for t...

Well, the band was so bad that it was sort of fitting and humorous that the speakers caught fire.

kanelli

Ha! What a double standard. In Islamic cultures people have interesting ways of fulfilling their s.e.x.u.a.l desires, like ho.mo.s.e.x.u.al encounters, and some women have an.al. s.e.x so that they still appear to be virgins when they do get married. Prostitution thrives in this part of the world! H...

I think that you will have to do some lessons and a driving test. Please contact the Dubai Traffic Police to confirm from the source.

Was there 2 yrs, planned to stay for 3, got a lucky work transfer out and was very happy to leave (except that I miss all my friends). Dubai is a great vacation spot, but living there is crap.

kanelli

Don't date outside of your religion or culture if you plan to try to change that person to conform to what you want. Either you love her and accept her religious and cultural beliefs and you think you can live together in compromise, or you don't. It is never a happy relationship if each is trying t...

Merry Christmas everyone, and all the best for 2009!

kanelli

Uh, no... because the woman is treating the relationship like how she would in her own culture. If she is in love with the guy and believes that he is too, then she likely doesn't have a problem having s.e.x with him. It is quite the betrayal when the guy comes back married to a first cousin or some...

If you are so adept at computers and forums, why ask your "mongering" questions here. Are you not aware of punter websites where you will find more like-minded people in Dubai to discuss with? P.S. I hope you wear a condom, because I've heard there is a lot of disease going around in Dubai.
