I never saw the image, but have to agree with mesheditor. If a forum member or a few forum members think an image is too risque for Dubai Forums with lots of Muslim members, then then why not ask for the image to be removed. Many moons ago I had a squabble with some men (and one woman) when some of ...

daisy, it is really hard to read your posts when you omit so many letters from the words. Can you please post using full words to make reading faster and more comprehensible. Thanks.

kanelli

daisy, it just sounded to me like you were insinuating that chocs was putting more importance on the holocaust tragedy than any other tragedy happening in the world. Germany is a much more travel-friendly place for a lone Western female than Afghanistan or Northern Pakistan, don't you think?

kanelli

Thanks, you write a lot of text sometimes and I would just like to be able to follow.

It wasn't hard for me to meet some really nice moderate Muslims. I met them doing family things though, and only had a few single Muslim friends (who were definitely not extreme in their views). I actually never met any Muslims hostile to Westerners - but maybe they only voiced it when around others...

kanelli

TheChoosen, that sounds horrible. I'm sad you had to see those things. It is definitely frustrating that no one seems to give a crap about Africa.

kanelli

Humbleman, those are old arguments that have already been dealt with in many other threads in this forum.

kanelli

mesheditor, you are getting ridiculous here!

kanelli

I'd actually like to visit Afghanistan and Pakistan one day. Many people still go there on business, but I won't go there now if I don't have to. I wouldn't want to put my life at risk.

kanelli

rudeboy, you didn't mention that hateful posters like MB are ruining this forum, instead you worry about what the Westerners are critiquing about the UAE, and how they go for labourer and animal rights all the time. Very interesting...

kanelli

No, moderate is exactly precise to define, but to me it means people who practice their religion (not people who are Muslim in name only but don't actually practice any tradition from their faith other than the holidays everyone else is having), but aren't extreme in their views. Completely devout M...

kanelli

humbleman, isn't there already a thread about freedom of speech where we were all discussing that it isn't a perfect concept and that people are always trying to influence it. It is human nature to try to manipulate what others see and hear, and freedom of speech isn't consistently enforced. It find...

kanelli

So if you aren't taking this thread "too seriously" mesheditor, why did you ask for the picture to be removed? Are we only supposed to worry about offending you, but the rest of us need to take things less seriously?

kanelli

Says the guy to who brought up the thread to talk about Obama's race in the first place.

kanelli

humbleman, everyone should be allowed free speech - not just people in the West. The major problems are that a) people say things without considering whether or not it may be very hurtful or damaging and sometimes they don't care if it is b) others always want to control what is seen/heard by others...

kanelli

Well, people who don't pray, attend religious gatherings or read any religious texts, who don't follow the religious traditions like fasting during Ramadan etc. (in the case of Muslims). My background is Christian, but I don't follow anything from the Christian religion, and the holidays to me are p...

I used to hang out with this guy who's lived in Dubai all his life, and one day because he thought I would understand presumably, he told me he hated anyone even remotely camp and wanted to kill them all. Needless to say, we haven't hung out since then. By camp, do you mean appearing to be feminine...

rudeboy, you didn't mention that hateful posters like MB are ruining this forum, instead you worry about what the Westerners are critiquing about the UAE, and how they go for labourer and animal rights all the time. Very interesting... kanelli i dont want to argue but if u read my post properly it ...

kanelli

go back to the main title of this thread you would know the answer for your question Kanlli " whispering to myself " I wish this guy doesn't ask for further explanations or do I have to write him that its not a political pole ?!?! Sorry, feeble reply. You must take yourself just as seriou...

kanelli

Okay Red Chief, Venezuelans are non-Muslims, so muslimbangladeshi would have them on his hit list anyway.

You're just jealous because you are wrong all the time.

kanelli

Ford Focus drives well, but if parts are going to start pulling off the interior as DK says, then pass. I'm biased against VW cars - had one before and it was a piece of crap. Do you have any other alternatives? Do make sure to check what the common problems are for the make and model for the that y...

kanelli

Red Chief, that question has been asked and answered before in many other threads. Why don't you volunteer your definition? I'm keen to hear why Japanese are considered Westerners, for example. And there is no need to participate in any "girlie" clash, nor comment on it, unless you feel li...

kanelli

Can you provide the link to the source of the cut and paste you just posted. I'm guessing you cut and pasted only selected parts, without fulling going into the info for how or why such a veto came into being. Did you research any other information on the veto? And the veto rule sucks, has been a di...

kanelli

rudeboy, you didn't read my original post correctly. Go back and read it again. Indeed I have both moderate Muslim friends and friends from Muslim background but aren't practicing.

kanelli

No probs

kanelli

Sage, only if all the expats leave will they understand.

kanelli

Nah, Japanese would start complaining immediately too, and coming up with good suggestions for how to improve the country. Besides, they would be corrupting the people with all the sake and sushi, and all the se.xy women's fashion from Tokyo. You'd want all of them out too.

kanelli

So things go to Fight Club, but there will be no banning policy created for this forum? At first I was advocating free speech, but then when I see how some others complaining about it are then hypocritical themselves, it brought me back to the realization that banning is definitely ok and much neede...
