I can see that trying to discuss anti-Muslim bias has gone over well with non-Muslim expats. It has been an interesting learning experience for me. I wouldn't say I've been the loser, not in the slightest.

kanelli

There used to be. Festivities, nice parades, the city would be lighted up and you could actually feel that the people locals and expats were actually proud. But to be honest since the late great Shk Zayed passed away in fact just a few year before that. It started to get be relegated down to this k...

Whoa zonker, you're supporting my criticisms but then continue on to be just as biased about Brits etc. My main point is that people should not be stereotyping or sitting so comfortably with their own biases.

kanelli

There has been plenty of money kicking around Dubai, so I really don't understand why there aren't for festivals and celebrations planned. National Day should be huge, something everyone looks forward to every year.

kanelli

Yes zonker, and Bethsmum said the same thing, minus the being biased against racism and prejudice part.

That bacterium will likely be the only thing left when everything else gets wiped out. Earth starting anew with a new biological basis. Pretty cool! That would make a great basis for a sci-fi story...

But not hire a qualified person simply because of their religion, which I know occurs sometimes, is of course totally wrong and acceptable. Exactly! No one should assume a problem or interference from a person's religion without discussing about it. There is nothing wrong with an interviewer saying...

Wow, FD is a se.xy shoe man

You've seen uaekid do it before BM, in the Spinsters thread, where he said I have no intelligence, personality or soul and I'm incapable of raising a daughter to be a respectable woman. (No complaints for his attack on me or mine though :roll: ). uaekid stoops very low and rarely back up his stateme...

kanelli

He lectures on non-violence and interfaith issues - then does this behind his closed doors. That's priceless.

I hope she will be okay and can permanently free herself and her child from him.

kanelli

uaekid, you don't tell your sources, are not up front about anything, and make libelous statements. Why can't you fess up if you work for DW?

kanelli

That's shameful. These people are seriously sick.

Here's a good thread on the Muslim perspective of wife beating: http://www.dubaiforums.com/dubai-politics-talk/wife-beating-the-muslim-perspective-t39819.html What's interesting to note, though, was that this cleric justified his wife beating based on the clear passage of the Koran. -- Sat Dec 04, ...

Is it possible that DDS is in possession of a set of rules that other mods aren't aware of? DDS, could you please circulate those rules? If Shaf didn't take action and you felt the need to step in, then possibly you need to share those rules for everyone. Or are they exclusively yours??? See! Dear ...

Joe, it is not clear from the Court documents who is right or wrong here. This is serious stuff, thousands of documents that are way above my head. I can only go with my gut feeling that Herve is totally innocent of all the charges DW are throwing at him. And thanks VW for giving us all an insight ...

There has been serious bias in moderating here. If the forum rules are so clearly defined, why are most forumers unclear on the rules? Are we all mentally deficient? The fact is, no one wants to do active moderating here, which requires rules and consistency. It has never been a priority and doesn't...

But the point is, it isn't right to discriminate against others.

Discussing which religious or political or other groups of the population contain more terrorist is not the subject of this thread.

kanelli

Would that be most of the time then?

I'm going to order your book!

K., it really would be naive to think of starting a topic called 'Silly to Single out Muslims' and not expect people to debate religious and political themes. You can't shut people down who are passionate. Maybe in future you should stick to topics that would interest your knitting circle :D :D Any...

kanelli

zubber, you rock. I'm totally enjoying ad free and gory image free browsing. Thanks for the links!

kanelli

So, would it be Islam itself, or perhaps the immigration and political climate in France for Muslims that may be the cause of the problems Herve had to deal with? Is it the religion, or is it people with issues misusing the religion? A subject for another thread?

kanelli

3 out of 4 sick here too

kanelli

Maybe it is hard to bend our brains around this kind of attack and its supposed "abnormalities" because nothing like this has ever happened before. Funny that some of you think that it isn't possible for documents and debris and body parts to be propelled from a plane from the force of the...

I loved Hard Rock, great veggie burgers and onion rings! Bands were always good too!

I'm so sorry to hear about this situation. The best you can do is talk to here, give her some info on codeine/pain killer addiction. If she doesn't realize or admit that she has a problem then there isn't much you can do, as you cannot force her into treatment. When it comes time to travel to the UA...

kanelli

Thanks for sharing BM - I've yet to meet a prejudiced person who could not justify to themselves and others their prejudices. No one is saying that Singling out muslims can't be justified in people's minds - we're just point out that it is silly. Cheers, Shafique Nicely put in a nutshell Shaf. And ...

kanelli

So Shaf and his friends are supposed to be accountable for the Muslim terrorist who just blew himself up in Sweden? capsicum, when you meet a Catholic are on their case to do something about child molestation that has been going on for decades? What about the crazy Christians who have murdered docto...
