we have discussed this to death on the forums in the past. No building has ever been designed to have a fully fuelled passenger jet fly into it at 500mph. The conclusion for the collapse was that the intense heat/fire created by the aviation fuel melted the welds of the supporting beams with the co...
I agree there are some laws which wouldnt make sense to a western. Even laws in UAE. But those laws have been there for decades centuries. Because of these laws the no of rape is low. no of murder cases are low, no of burgulary is low. These laws are HARSH and may seem strange to you but they only ...
My common senses still tell me that women in saudi are indeed suppressed. The fact that women are still being raped inspite of the strict laws means that it's not working. I still think it's the men that should be educated about respect and the police making sure that no REAL crimes are committed. ...
If they're so keen on having clean feet before praying why don't they have a separate area designed specifically for that purpose? Oh wait, that would be too hygienic. And exactly what is achieved by rinsing your feet with water? Even if that did help cleaning them (which it doesn't since water doe...
its abit similar to baptism. Water is used to clean yourself when you are about to pray and remember god. Its not only to pray but whenever you are about to read the quran. If water is not around u can use other subsitutes. Islam and Christianity are similar in few areas. In Christianity you have ba...
its abit similar to baptism. Water is used to clean yourself when you are about to pray and remember god. Its not only to pray but whenever you are about to read the quran. If water is not around u can use other subsitutes. I don't recall any baptism ever taking place in a toilet, which is the poin...
Yes arnie you are right. but it wasnt 500 mph but 600 mph and the tests were carried out in the 70s with a 707. You are absolutely right on this one. John SKilling the bloke who designed the twin towers said that "the twin towers could withstand the impact of a Boeing 707. Our analysis indicate...
what bout the building in madird was on fire for 10 hours?? and it didnt come down like cards instead the top 6 floors toupled off. Arnie u want to explain this?
Rape does happen but it happens everywhere. Not only in KSA. You're right. But that's the whole point - the story is focusing on what has happened to the rape victim, after the rape. The rape is not the story. That's why the media has taken such an interest. Not because the woman was raped, but bec...
I was standing in the lobby of my Bur Dubai Hotel when an Irish and English guy were arrested for non-payment of their 1,500 Saturday afternoon bar bill in the sports bar. Is this a common occurrence where some guys have got no money and they try to sneak out of the Dubai bar without paying. Just c...
But what is shameful is that Islam is misinterrupted as group of fundamentalist riding camels or horses across the desert, in one hand theres a sword and in the other hand there is the quraan. To be honest, if that was the picture we had of Islamic Fundamentalists I wouldn't be worried. It's more t...
rudeboy, you live in a weird world. We know Arabs hijacked the planes as there were people on board who phoned to say what was happening (yup, that little TV remote on your Emirates flight also has another use)! There is footage of the people boarding the planes! All part of the conspiracy I'm sure...
The IRA were labelled terrorists. So were the UDA and UVF. And they fought against each other without so much as a Qu'ran in sight. Get over yourself. In schools we learn that Stalin's genocides were worse than Hitler's. We cover Tamil Tigers and other groups regularly in our newscasts (indeed, on ...
The IRA were labelled terrorists. So were the UDA and UVF. And they fought against each other without so much as a Qu'ran in sight. Get over yourself. are the freedom fighters in Kashmir and in Palestine fighting with the Qu'ran in one hand? Can you give me a verse from the Quran where it says its ...
Can you give me a verse from the Quran where it says its ok for a muslim to kill a non-muslim? Why do you want an answer from me? If you could have a word with Osama next time you see him though... lol come on scot. I expected something BETTER THEN THAT. come on am sure u can find out something in ...
As I say, media can be manipulated but if you read Western newspapers they ask a loooooooot of questions about what government does. For example, were Tony Blair (or now Gordon Brown) to allocate himself land that belongs to the country and sell it off for millions in real estate developments and k...
What are you gibbering about man? It's not me that's killing people! It's probably just Christians with boot polish on creating a bad name for you Muslims (I'll let you keep that conspiracy theory). lol its ok scot it happens ;) yeh muslims and christians and jews and hindus are killing each other ...
lol its ok scot it happens ;) yeh muslims and christians and jews and hindus are killing each other :D. I really dont think its ALL the christians. Just a few rotten apples in the christian society as well as a few rotten apples in the muslim society and a few rotten apples in the Jewish society wh...
STOP GIBBERING MAN! It's not ME saying Muslims should kill others, the answer may be closer to home. I have no beef with 99% of Muslims, it's a peaceful religion, but the 1% give you a bad name. More than a bad name, they believe they can attack people anywhere in the world with religion as their c...
In the next verse The Meccans are given four months time to set things right otherwise a declaration of War and coming to verse [9:5], the complete verse is Chronologically the 9th is the penultimate sura. Due to its content, it must have been written after 630 AD. If Islam taught that all people a...
What you clearly miss is that pre-9/11 the world was building pressure on Israel as an oppressive state that used disproprionate force. The events of 9/11 made the world think again, whether rightly or wrongly. I "clearly" missed what you clearly...didn't because of course, Israel was jus...

This made it to BBC News today. In response to an appeal the Males' sentences have been increased to 5 years jail and the Female's sentence has been increased to 6 months jail. I was of the understanding that the koran only forbids a male and female who are not married having a physical relationshi...
i am a bit suprised he is saying all that :S. But hey atleast some of the Arab leaders are standing up. guess its a good sign unless Bushy baby decides to smoke him out
saw the game at home. Cracking game even though england played rubbish the first half. hmmmm guess the Euro wont be the same with England out . no more penalty drama to experience i guess
