^^^It was yesterday or the day before^^

melika969

Thanks guys, I saw it.

melika969

WOW! my favorite too! It is amazing, loved the orange beach...

melika969

Chocs, I dont know how many times we have this debate on the forums, that IT IS PERSIAN GULF!

melika969

No, it is a fact that the name is "Persian Gulf". Some Arabs might call England, Arabland, would you repeat it after them?

melika969

well as you are not Iranians I don't expect any of you to feel any harm about it. DDS, We call it Khalij-e-Fars, Fars is the same as persian and Gulf means Khalij. --- Fri May 18, 2012 11:20 pm --- And your comments are all very unthoughtfull. As I said how do you feel if anyone tries to change an e...

melika969

It is a name Kanelli, it is not about ownership. It was named at the time of Empire of Persia. In this forums there is dozens of threads discussing about the roots of the name and how some arabs (not all of them) tried to change it in the recent years.

melika969

I was just saying, since the name persia itself does not exist, then why not ? If today Iran was called Persia, the argument might hold water. In todays world its even more suitable and sine 7 Arab countries surround it. At the end of the day you can call it Bob, doesn't change a thing. Well as I s...

melika969

Well Iran seems to think it can do what it likes these days. erm what about the UAE threatening it over their occupation of one of it's islands? They're pretty fed up of that. Persia does not exit anymore. History changes, how many countries are called something new now? Hostiry doesn't hold much w...

melika969

^^^ I wish you had the ability to understand this is not about Great Empire of Persia. It is about a name of an entity that doesn't change just because Arabs pay you more money than Iran!

melika969

the gulf is arabian and the three islands are emiraty Oh yes, you can say that whenever you dared to put your feet in the islands! :lol: :lol: oh, and yes, iran will never be great again. At least it has been great sometime! and nobody knows about future what about your country? it has been a count...

i guess you are from Iran, how is it there?

great! I just got arrested by Hijab Police two days ago! Do you know what is Hijab police?

melika969

yes the same. But for me it was not like that as I didn't resist. There are big police vans in main squares in Tehran and other big cities gathering women who don't cover modestly (in sense of Iranian regime standard of course, because anyway every woman in Iran wears pants, manteau, and scarf. But ...

melika969

Thank you guys. But seriously it's not like I have done something heroic. As I said there are several police vans in the main squares and streets and they fill their cars almost every two hours. So it is just the matter of being calm and let the time pass and of course don't argue or engage with the...

melika969

An interesting read, although I don't agree with parts of it.For me as a single woman living in Tehran it is not as difficult as it is stated here. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/13/world/middleeast/single-women-gaining-limited-acceptance-in-iran.html?pagewanted=1&_r=2&ref=global-home

melika969

First let me clarify, I think it is even more 60%. The portion of women entering universities in Iran is around 70% now. Although there is a new policy from government which is really shameful. They are trying to put a quota in number of men entering universities to keep it 50/50! Cultural norm is o...

melika969

haha maybe what Ambassador means is that Andyba should unban all the ex forumers who were banned before. For example Concord. Who agrees that Ambassador is Concord? Look at first posts in these two threads, any similarities? :lol: http://www.dubaiforums.com/fight-club/please-before-sage-sees-t26557....

No BM. I asked a simple question. why you getting so defensive about it?

melika969

I hope you realize that you have just supported what Ambassador has been saying all along and that is that it is pointless banning usernames :) I dont support anything here. You know I think normal people would stop posting when they understand they are not welcome anymore. But some people are so a...

Not welcome by who? 4 or 5 posters who think they own this forum?

By Admin of course.
Do whatever you want BM.Seriously I have no time nor interest to get involved.

melika969

byebye BM!

melika969

Have you heard of the couple who named their newborn daughter "Emirates"? I can not find the link but I read somewhere they are Syrian couple living in Dubai and they named her Emirates because they "Love" Emirates so much. To me it is obvious that they dont just want to get back...

melika969

hmm to me it sounded weird you know. So you believe there is no other motives behind it? especially as they are Syrian.

melika969

desertdudeshj ,

Well you are right. As the parents Arab themselves they might call her "Emarat".

melika969

desertdudeshj ,

Yea there might be. This reminds me of that we actually have Iran as a name here, for girls. The most famous person I know called Iran is this painter : Iran Darroudi

Last time I was in Dubai, which was about 2 weeks ago, I was surprised by people's clothing. I'm not sure if they were tourists or residents but in malls I saw girls wearing top and shorts almost like a bikini. In the same time you could see the signs of conservative clothing all over the mall. I ho...

melika969

yea well to be honest I don't know about the authorities there so much. But I think bikinis in malls will be too much for UAE.

melika969

Yea signs in the malls and the leaflets are good idea. Personally I prefer to be in line with the cultural norm and not to be approached by others.

The regime imposing new rules which will exclude female students to enter 77 fields in some universities.
