Sniper, you are really stirring the pot now!

kanelli

Ahmed, don't be down. Have you got some close family members to talk to? Can you spend some time with friends? Maybe have a meal together, go out and exercise or something? All of these things usually work for me when I am feeling down.

kanelli

For example, it is wrong to force democracy, but once you have lived in a democratic political system, would you really want to give it up? Should Africa, Asia, and the Middle East have some countries that suffer under the crushing rule of dictators? It is up to the people of those countries to fre...

I knew I'd get jumped on about the new vs old French. It is the old French that would have more of a problem with less cultural and religous purity than the new French. I don't get what your problem is with that statement. Why is it hard to understand that the French would want to make everyone look...

kanelli

I agree with you Linda. Despite what many of us would consider a stupid and intolerant ruling on head scarves, do the French deserve to be killed over it? Some Islamic extremists would say yes, and that is wrong! If people feel they are being biased against in Europe, and they don't have the patienc...

kanelli

Yes, I too realise that Islam will have more of a role in the government. This scares me because there is a big danger in turning religions upon each other. Many Western countries favour a separation of church and state, but is perhaps an impossible task for primarily Muslim countries. I also fear f...

REQUEST FOR MODERATORS

This thread has gone far off track from Choco's original subject. Can we splice this thread and put the back half of it into a brand new thread with a new title?

kanelli

I met a guy who lived there for 12 years. He told us it really changed a lot for the worse concerning security and that is why he finally left. One of his football friends (Westerner) was shot while sitting in his car.

kanelli

Sorry, keep referring to extremists because they are the ones calling for Westerners to die every time there is an offence against their religion, or a political or economic offence against their country. There is an increasing tendency for some Muslims who are against the policies of some Western g...

kanelli

Are you claiming that the 7Days article was misleading about Abu Hamza? Here are some other articles that report on videos that prove he was inciting hatred. Who cares whether the media outlets reporting are from the West, there are videos to prove it and people have viewed these, or are you suggest...

kanelli

There are extremists in every religion and there are non-religious nutters as well. Why single out one religion or for that matter race or for that matter nationality or for that matter country???? :? Have you been reading any of these recent threads and posts, or did you just skip to the last page...

kanelli

Liban, are you implying that because Christians and Jews were cruel and barbaric in the past, that it is now okay for Islam to have a go? Why am I getting the flack for discussing the exact topic that this thread first brought up? I didn't start this thread by the way. I've made it pretty clear that...

kanelli

Thank you Linda :) I'm sorry if you are getting the impression that I mean this: "I'll say it again, being anti-western policy, doesn't necessarily mean Pro-Terrorism." - a quote from your last post. I really didn't feel that I was claiming that anywhere. I simply can't believe that the West is evil...

kanelli

I think it is absolutely forbidden to send alcohol with your household goods, you have to bring it in your luggage when you arrive. At least that is what our shipping documents stipulated when we moved here a little over a month ago.

kanelli

Linda I do agree with quite a bit of what you are saying, and I am starting to see that perhaps my current viewpoints about terrorism and terrorists are a result of paying too much attention to the negative articles from the news media. I don't think I am the only one doing this though, because ther...

kanelli

Some good points in there GAB. I'd still like to point out that this thread was meant for discussion. Why are you trying to silence anyone who wants to discuss in it? If you don't like it, don't post in this thread, but leave the rest of us to talk if we wish. If you can't see any benefit coming fro...

kanelli

It looks amazing. I can't wait to go out and see more of the nature and geography here in the UAE.

kanelli

Is Arabic an easy language to learn? Anyone studying it right now?

kanelli

GoodBai, nice to see you posting here. I was starting to think you were one of those annoying types of people who start up controversial threads, then hide away to watch all the action.

kanelli

I think Russian and Finnish are very difficult, although it helps that words are spelled exactly how they are pronounced. I hope to start some Arabic classes within the next few months.

kanelli

With respect HP, making an observation that Western media has more freedom to print different and critical points of view than media outlets in many of the Arab nations (or elsewhere), doesn't mean we should have to go back to our own countries.

Tell her that you are desperate and willing to take it up the arse for her... :lol: Then cook her rice and chicken. :lol I never had problem in finding or getting Paki/Indian girls but this girl just gave me the tough time . She told me that she doesnt find me mature and dependable :roll: she inqui...

I disagree that women always go for the "bad guys" and honestly don't know what the definition of a "bad guy" is. Is it a male who is really masculine, perhaps a bit more bossy or aggressive with others? I certainly hope it doesn't mean they are criminals :) My advice to teens is to be open to diffe...

kanelli

Valentine's Day only once a year? I don't know about the rest of the ladies here, but shouldn't we be getting roses every day?

kanelli

Shafique, I always enjoy reading your posts. It is nice that you want to share more about Islam and Arab culture in a friendly and open manner.

kanelli

Linda said, "Let's not forget that if Moses, Jesus, and Abraham were alive today, that they'd probably be escorted off airplanes and into detention in a lot of European/American airports. They were by no way "white" or "western". As a matter of fact, as much as a lot would hate to hear this, Jesus p...

Hi Julieta,

This is the place to find organic products. (Thanks to Fayz who first told me about it!) http://www.organicfoodsandcafe.com/

There is a store in Satwa, but if you are living in the Greens or Emirates Hills area you can visit the one close to the Greens.

If it weren't for Islamic terrorist groups giving good and peaceful Arabs a bad name and making people paranoid about attacks Arabs would not be singled out and detained. That is a fact. I also have to point out that many groups of people feel persecuted by others. Try being a woman! Women have been...
