The deadbeat landlords don't want to take it out of the yearly rent, they want to collect rent and pay nothing for their property - no maintenance fees, no service fees.

kanelli

Chocs, do you really think that Emaar doesn't let people pay their fees by bank transfer if they live out of the country, or even in the country? It sounds like a big fat excuse that they can only pay in person.

kanelli

But Shaf it does cause harm. It perpetuates the notion that women are a temptation and must hide themselves away. It also sets the standard that any showing of skin makes a woman immodest. This is not a good thing in society. I certainly hope that if your wife or daughters wanted to cover all of the...

Women do not realise that by wearing too little and reaveling every private piece of their body/beauty makes them become female idols for body/beauty worshiping. Berrin, are the face, hands and feet private? Shaf, there is plenty of evidence out there - the ship has not sailed. Even you think that ...

So there we are - women who aren't wearing "signifying" clothing are possible prostitutes or deserving of harassment.

kanelli

Which is more appropriate? take your own precaution/preventive measure, or expect millions of men "behave well" at the same time when it is simply not possible and not logical.. I am often finding men in public attractive. Maybe I should start se.xually harassing them? They'd deserve it, ...

kanelli

Maybe everyone should wear electric collars and if they find someone attractive they get a zap!

Next time I see a guy with nice muscles, I'm just going to walk right up to him and run my hands all over him. Its his fault!

kanelli

I wonder what the reaction would be? Any guesses?

kanelli

Imagine this scenario - Some women run around and drug good looking men and anally rape them. It would be their fault because they tempted women to do it, right? When the men go to the police station to report the crime, the police can ask, "Are you married?" "What were you doing out ...

No it won't be their fault. As for my wallet analogy I'll make it simple. (1) If I openly display it with lots of money in ...

kanelli

But we have men here saying that if you put something on display it will of course be taken, so you shouldn't put it on display. In practice I see Muslim women covering much of their bodies while their husbands are wearing shorts and t-shirts. There is double standard happening here. For women to go...

How tasteful!

I'll let it sink in for the sad banned gang. The crybaby behaviour looks good on you all.

kanelli

I agree Shaf, but perhaps I'd like to see Muslims stop fellow Muslim women from feeling that they should cover their faces in public, especially when it is founded on false logic and supports a male chauvenist view of women and piety. I'd also like to see more discussion on modesty on the part of men.

kanelli

kanelli

In my view, Muslim men should be telling their Muslim women-folk that wearing a veil in not necessary according to the Quran or for society's sense of what is virtous and what isn't.

kanelli

In my view, the women shouldn't be relying on the men to tell them what to do in the first place! (And yes, I agree that men should also tell the women the truth about what Islam teaches too) But Muslim women do rely on what their Imam, husbands and fathers say about how they dress. I had a coworke...

Really? Seems the sad banned gang have their own gossip guy - drewpeacock. Oh the hypocrisy!

Women are hoodwinked and some are forced, but I guess it isn't very concerning enough for fellow Muslims to do something about it. After all, they'd rather see women more covered than less.

kanelli

From your article quote earlier in the thread, a woman wearing a veil is said to bring her closer to god. That's religious. Your sister-in-law is French and covering one's face is not in her culture. She is married to someone from England who is of Mauritian heritage, and covering one's face is not ...

You've done the Hajj? Congrats, it must have been an amazing experience. :) The one poster on that forum sums it up well - There is a difference of opinion amongst mainstream scholars. The majority of scholars hold that it is not obligatory, but is a virtuous act. A minority do hold it to be an obli...

Take a loan in the country you will reside in and use the money to pay off the property in Dubai, then pay your loan in the country you reside in.

kanelli

The article says it is culture and religion and no one seems to care to untangle the two. :) Shaf, I have to point out that all of your family members are content to let your cousin's wife wear a veil every day when the Quran does not ask women to dress that way, and neither does UK, French or Mauri...

kanelli

Sorry guys, I can't accept any more arguments about you supporting a woman's choice to wear what she likes when I see comments like that. You want Western countries to accept women wearing the burka and niqab and hiding their faces, but can't accept women who don't cover up in Dubai. ;) So much for ...

kanelli

Thanks Anjalicosta, very helpful for those in a similar situation!

DDS, you should do a write-up for bounced cheques, because that would be a great help for some people too.

kanelli

desertdudeshj , if MENA countries don't ban women from wearing it because others in society subscribe to what it supposedly means, that's fine. In the West we don't like people covering their faces and actually already have laws about people in crowds covering their faces. From a feminist perspecti...

kanelli

I would never advocate banning beards and hijab. Shaf, I certainly hope you don't think that Asian women wear face masks to be religiously pious and protect themselves from all the men in society who are lustful beasts and can't control themselves otherwise. ;) Those Asian women wouldn't be wearing ...

kanelli

Very interesting video! What happens if too many people are lacking the capability to empathise? I have met several in my lifetime already, and it is quite scary.
