I am from Sri Lanka and spent five days in Dubai. One of my Sri Lankan friends told me that Dubai do not allow any Buddhist temples to be built here. Until I hear that I had a very positive view on Arabic people. Now in Sri Lanka, there are 7,800 Muslim mosques built by Arabic people. Do you think w...

I spent only few days in Dubai. Please tell me what would happen if an Indian man falls in love with an Arab woman? Now western media tells me that if the Hindu man does not convert to Islam, he can not marry the woman. If the woman does marry the woman against the wishes of the family, the father a...

Look ...we allow Islam in our country. As I mentioned before there are thousands of Muslim mosques in Sri Lanka.

I think we are just stupid to allow Islam in our country.

I see israel allow Buddhism as well.

I believe Arabic people are the smartest people on earth. They do not allow other religions on their soil but build many mosques in other countries. In my company in Sri Lanka some Arabs even leave few hours early on Friday and get paid also. It is not your fault. It is our fault. We (India, Sri Lan...

Muslims in Sri Lanka are mostly Arab and from Pakistan. There is very little mixing with Sinhalese due to religious restrictions in Islam.

It is not about starting a war. Its about fairness.

Well the article indicates Buddhism is a nasty religion and Islam is a good one. Fine...Its your opinion. I dont have a quarrel with that. In Buddhist Sri Lanka and Hindu India, Muslims are allowed to build mosques and pray to Allah. Unfortunately in Arab, there is not a single Buddhist temple or a ...

Well...Thanks for sending food relief. Most of the food relief coming from Arab countries distributed thru mosques. I dont think Arabs will ever allow a single Buddhist temple or Hindu temple in Arab countries. We allow Arabs build mosques where ever they want. You guys are a smarter race and we Bud...

Few of us cannot solve world problems. I have one question...please let me know your answer. If we Buddhists in Sri Lanka allow Muslims to build mosques and allow Islam is it fair that Buddhists (or Hindus) are not allowed to build temples in UAE? I just need a YES or NO answer. It seems there is de...

Move out of Dubai. I got an opportunity to come to Dubai. I did not like what I see and I am not coming here.

My comment "Arabs are a smarter than Indians and Sri Lankans". I did not mean in a sarcastic way. I meant it. Think this way... 1) Arab belong to Arabs and Islam. Foreigners who come to Arab countries are not allowed to practice their religion. Thats a very smart thing to do. That way you ...

I am a freelance writer and I have nearly 200 plus newspaper articles under my belt. As a child I never believed the western media. I need the facts. My friends told me that UAE will never allow Buddhist or Hindu temples to be built in UAE. As per them there is a clause in Quran prohibiting all othe...

To Hifriend... First Are you a Muslim from Arab or from Sri Lanka? The pictures you show are gruesome and was the work of LTTE (Tamil tigers). They are terrorists. The govt. is fighting them. Muslims have killed many Tamils as well. Look at these images http://www.stephenharby.com/photos/ceylon/ceyl...

To Hifriend. You are right. there is sikh temple in Dubai. Now I feel much better. http://www.allaboutsikhs.com/gurudwaras/sikh-temple-dubai.html May be Buddhists are just lazy not to go through the permitting process. Note: Pl. read about the Tamil-Muslim ethnic clashes. Tamils are Hindus and not B...

To Hifriend223 You are right. There is a Sikh temple in Dubai. May be Buddhists are too lazy. I feel much better now. I will tell my friends to stop complaining and apply for a permit as the Sikhs did. Tolerance is always better than non tolerance. http://www.allaboutsikhs.com/gurudwaras/sikh-temple...

ruwan

To Hifriend223 Your link said " "Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs."" Quran Which means religious leaders should not rule the country. But Ayatollah in Iran is ruling Iran. what do you think of that? I agre...

ruwan

As a Buddhist I can tell you i have been to England, Germany and USA. All those countries allow Buddhism. Only Islamic countries does not allow Buddhism. So I think Christian people are more broad minded than Muslims.

ruwan
