I just worry that muslim world think that UK is 100% pro isreal when it isnt'. US different thou as I have been on american forums and one guy said, speaking badly about isreal destroys careers!

Problems only going to be solved through dialogue, and until that happens it will rumble on for ever.

I find belief fascinating, I know a hardcore christian engineer from zimbabwe, who doesn't drink alcohol or eat pork, as he says its against his religion. Yet he tells me in 100% truthfullness about these demons that live in rock pools and snatch villagers. Its been really bugging me as im trying to...

I like beteselem and respect what they are trying to do. Unfortunalty berrin americans think they are doing the right thing giving money to isreal, just like muslims who give money to al-quedas 'charities'. Though america is supposadly a 'christian' country, jewish people hold a lot of influence. Wh...

There are conspiracy theories about rapture and right wing christian neocons in america and how bush's interest is linked to the middle east. George bush was alledged to have said god told him to go to the middle east to sort out iraq, alqueda etc. Shafique - have your heard about PNAC? (Project for...

Men of all faiths beat their wives, its just that currently where if a christian tried to use that defence in the west they would be laughed at.

But I am lead to believe in in the arabic world in some countries it could be used as a defence - is this a fair observation?

Indicators on the car sorry - orange/red light to show you are changing lanes.

Many people in dubai think they are optional extra like cup holders.

I think the jehovas witness's are a kind of rapture type cult, they do have a fair number of followers, they keep putting the apocalypse back. Suppposadly so many will be wisked off to heaven the rest will stay on earth. Though I dont know if you can 'upgrade' so you get on the spaceship to heaven?

He is an emirati, he was quite honest, he said people speed because its a thrill. Some also say 'inshallah' but his view is this is an incorrect teaching.

"as far as myself and the Muslims I know are concerned, wife beating is a taboo and I could not imagine myself disciplining my wife as God allows in the Quran" Which is pretty much what I thought. Unfortunatly I feel people try to use it as an excuse to maintain (non-islamic) cultural beli...

I just wish there was more arabic crafts/shops, selling real emirti/arabic goods etc, rather than made in china burj al dubai and camels etc.

to my knowledge getting the saudi viasas will be the hardest part, I thought you need invite letters. These will need to be got hold of in advance.

Doesn't it depend more on nationality rather than being resident?

maybe shafique - but i think it could also be controversial as Im sure people in the muslim world won't like the interpretation.

Whats it like here in dubai?, in Qatar local guys are not getting married because the marriage contract is so much money, must provide additional house, jewlery etc. Some have even ended up in jail getting into so much debt to pay for the ceremoney etc!
