So if you prefer religious rule as a law for a country why the effin hell are you on a Brit passport in the first place where the common law espouses democracy and secularism? Is'nt that a conflict of ideology?


whats a religious rule got to do with a passport :S british passport doesnt mean I am a follower of church of england lol. Passport is just nationality, why do you have Muslims that have Indian passports? Or christians in Pakistan that have Pakistani passports etc etc.

England is not based on the sharia law even then I respect their laws, rituals, culture, loud disturbing music at night :D and drunk fools sleeping here and there on the road :D

There is no country in the world, where religion doesnt have a single say in the country law. Example, look at your india, where the laws are based on Hinduism which says that kissing out of wedlock in public places is not allowed. And I am sure that some states across India have this law. Right? And yet when some foreigners will go into India and find out about this law, they will abuse the law makers, call them monkeys :D and ask you what kind of a law is this!!! Yet its the law of the country and ppl get on with it.

Similiar here, UAE is a muslim country so its laws are based on Sharia law and you get on with it. Foreigners will complain oh why do you have bloody money, why kill someone, why chop their hands off, why se x is not allowed in public etc etc. If those ppl actually read the Quran, it says why these laws are there and it makes sense.


HEY!!! ESMERALDA - take this to the religious forum. What does this have to do with giving expats the passport????

I think they should consider something as otherwise whats the point of buying a property out here to retire, if you have to leave the country every month etc.

I never thought Dubai as a place to retire. Totally unaffordable to the average retiree. I think most that bought, bought for the sheer investment - buy=sell=make money! And as you know, what the law is today, does not mean it will be law tomorrow. In the beginning when selling the property, the law made in attractive to buy. Once it was gobbled up, bang!! change in law. Laws change like the weather in the US - it can be unpredictable. If they consider something it should be to introduce a law that would make residency easier for those who did buy property and once declaring it as law - leave it at that. I'm sure that the requirement pushed people to sell off their property. Who needs the hassle??

My assumption was that Dubai was positioning itself as a future retirement destination, otherwise what the point of all this accomodation, as when the major infrastructure ceases the hyper seasonal demand will mean lots of vacant property. If you buy property i dont know why you cant be given a ten yearl multiple entry visa or something.

I agree with your assumption, but when you factor in so many other things: medical, high cost of living, general need for 2 cars, it would be a very expensive retirement - and now you would have to add in the cost of airline tickets every year to leave Dubai so that you can come back and live in Dubai. :roll:

I believe when they first promoted all those villas/apartments for sale the residency deal was sweet enough to factor in as Dubai being a place to retire (again, assuming one could afford to), but after all was said and done - the residency requirements are now a bit sour. Then again, there really isn't much forward thinking when it comes to certain things, is there?

Don't talk crap man. The consitution of the afore mentioned countries states secularism and tolerance as a must. Yea there are instances of fanactism, but one could always go to a court. Needless to say these countries are extremely tolerant and liberal. The point is we all know what your stand is on secularism. basically you don't give a damn bout it. Frankly I think the concept is alien to you. The point I'm making is that since you definately don't believe in secularism, (you past posts are evidence enough), then aren't you a misfit for an open society like England? Now I'm sure you'd love citizenship in some GCC state, but have been unlucky. But there are other countries based on religious law, Paksitan is one! So why don't you head back to someplace more in tune whith your beliefs and sentiments?

lol seems like you got out of the wrong side of the bed mate, suggest you go back to sleep ;) lol what is my stand on seclarism in UK? I dont give a damn about it? You want to show me where did I say I dont give a damn about it? lol read my post CAREFULLY and read it again. If its hard for you to understand what I said, I suggest you go open a dictionairy and try to understand. If you still fail I suggest you go on those learn english course. Still you have a hard time, suggest you INVEST in a good english course movie. Try to do all that without trying to balance your head of your lil neck.

Once again, I ll repeat, I respect Englands laws and regulations etc and all I suggested was to Sage was that some ppl ought to learn not to get laid on the beach in public :D I guess its hard for some ppl to understand why such rules and regulations are there.

Do your homework MCL, the pakiland is not based on religious law! I am at home ;) I suggest you go back to whereever you came from since you find some laws and rules of UAE strange to accept :)

Awww so I've managed to get the infamous RB all unnerved. Kudos to me :D

Now it's good to know that you respect secularism, unless you stated it out loud there was no other way for the rest of us to know.

As far as I go I'm an ardent secularist and I was'nt in the UAE seeking citenship, I came, I saw and now I've left. The UAE was a nice experiance.
You see I don't know much bout you, but as far as religion goes I have two theries, sometimes I prefer to be atheist and on other times when I do believe in God, I make no distinction. Any religion is fine as long as I learn something. That's why I had absolutely no problems in the UAE.

and why you rambling about some dictionary? Or are you on those hormone pills, the transformation form RB to esmeralda? That would explain the mood swings resulting in you speaking nonsense at times :lol:
