Dubai Forums

Wish i was an old member, atleast i would have discovered this forum earlier.....although not a big fan of forums, but this one seems interesting, but dont ask me why, cuz i myself dont know the answer!!! hey sup uae 75 i wanted to ask some thgin about locals, I know its off topic but I some told m...

I have been a member in this forum for 48 hours only, and I already feel bias opinions and racials tension flying all over this thread!!!! If I take the point of view of each of you three "arniegang", "chocoholic" & "freza"....then I am sure i will be convinced, and...

hey uae75, for the record I would never enforce an opinion on anyone. I mearly give my opinion and state fact, that is pretty much it. However what I do get annoyed with, it people twisting things around. It's not nasty while everyone is respectful of others opinions. Take yours for example, your v...

Abu Dhabi all the way....but hey, i am bias and i admit it lol

75' I never said they were abusive. I had complaints via pm, that, in my opinion were justified. This maybe an "open forum" but at the end of the day Mods decide on whether the line has been crossed. When you start talking of bombing people, the line is crossed. I am not going to continua...

Well, I wish I could have seen Freza's posts that got deleted. From my perspective it is still perfectly on topic to discuss why some people want to commit suicide attacks on innocent civilians. This thread is about planned terrorist attacks is it not? Of course, the wording is essential. Freza mak...

So, when Hezbollah bombed the US army barracks in Beirut in the early 80's, that was defence was it? Also, did the Lebanese government (which represents the Lebanese people) order Hezbollah to protect Lebanon by going across the border and killing and kidnapping Israeli soldiers? The question that ...

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. You mentiond US bases existing in other parts of the world. I was saying that those are bases - not American soldiers patrolling all the towns and cities. The same could apply for Iraq. If Iraq says the US can keep a base there, then fine. If they don't then the A...

Dont know why the cease fire cant be NOW!!!

Anyways, I hope the israelies will stick to this cease fire.

It seems lots of people in this forum dont understand the mentality of the middle eastern people, and how religion is part of their daily life,and culture. The word "insurgents" is a defintion that USA/UK have created in order to enforce segregation between arab countries. We all have to u...

:lol: :lol: Gladly, I am not a forum addict (note my duration of membership with No. of posts compared to others!), but it is nice to catch up on a wee bit of humour now and then. The minute I log in to my computer in the office, I check the DF site though I don;t make posts coz I can't ( if my bos...

Where exactly did i say its okay to kill arabs from other sects! .....Either u were not wearing ur glasses or just didnt know what the hell u were talking about.

We all have to understand, that in EVERY arab and muslim heart, they would love to stand up and defend any arab country, and would love to go and join whatever forces in face of the occupying forces. If all of us understood this concept, then we will all understand why "insurgents" exist....

Actually my friend, there is one small info that I believe I would need to correct it for you. Most of what you call insurgents, are actually Iraqi men. Even the iraqi men themselves admit it. Although truely some of them believe in Al-Qaeda way of fight, but most of them are just resistance groups ...

Shafique,

U made me curious to see this documentary! where can i see it?

Actually, the news you have are a bit old, its from the early days of the occupation. Maybe you need to have a look at other websites, like for example the Aljazeera news website (they will soon launching an English version of there famous News channel).

Sadly K, I think when it comes to that side of things, if you're not supporting them, then you're against them and then they don't care if they kill other Iraqis or not. Exactly, its like what Bush said "If you are not with us, then your agianst us" or something like that, i appoloize if ...

Shush, and go back to your hole, there is always a possibility hezbollah will launch another 100 or 200 rockets

Choco who r u kidding when u said "Sky was very good, and covered pretty much all sides"!!! Are you kidding me!!!!

Even one of ur English MP's had a go at Sky news a week ago cuz they are not objective at all!!

Sky news is like Fox News!! They are 2 faces of the same coin!!!!!!

WRONG! Al Jazeera has not shown beheadings on their website either! While it's true that Al Jazeera has received in the past these types of videos, they don't air the full tapes. Al Qaeda have their own (temporary) websites in which the videos have been easily accessible to anyone. They still link ...

Chocoholic wrote:Well several people I know managed to download such things linked on their site - so I guess they must all be wrong then?!

Check with your friends again, and you will know the truth, I am positive

Interesting fact UAE75 - I've been assuming that they did link to sites showing the beheadings, based on what Freza and Choco posted. But if they did not actually link to these video sites, then they are in the same boat as the BBC etc. As I said before, i don't understand Arabic so don't watch al-...

We can keep going back and forth about who is right and who is wrong, but you are right, enough is said, cuz obviously you have your views and you'd never accept anything else.

Fair enough Chocs. I've started learning Arabic - but I've got a long way to go... the hope is to be able to watch some of these channels eventually! As a general point though - sometimes the decision about what to show and not to show is not always clear from a journalistic perspective. For exampl...

I believe there had a couple of web cams linked to the Higher College of Technology website. I am not sure if they still do.

toy bombs, toy bombs? I hope that this isn't a reference to cluster bombs which are particularly nasty - but I have to say, I haven't heard any references on the news sources either. re: David Frost.... you mean you didn't watch 'let's go thruuuuu the keyhole' ? :) (I used to catch Frost on Sunday ...
