'Too handsome' for the religious police

    Three Dubai men were allegedly expelled from Saudi Arabia for being too handsome - they might make women fall for them... :pac:

    http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/04/25/omar-borkan-al-gala-dubai-saudi-arabia-too-handsome-pictures_n_3152761.html?utm_hp_ref=uk-news

    Now looking at these pictures of one of the men I can totally understand this rather strange view of the religious Saudi police - I would so fall, really fall head over heels... :D

    Well, not really, he might be an airhead after all. But a girl can look...

    Which got me thinking: Even if there would be still an active religious police in Ireland would they treat handsome men the same as they treated pretty girls (Magdalene and such)?

    Or on the other hand, are there such handsome men in Ireland at all who might fall into the category as "too handsome" to live in Ireland? :D

    If there is one, please pm me ;)

    I hope when the Culture War comes, men wearing eyeliner is strictly enforced.

    Having lived through the 80s I assume you mean the wearing of eye-liner will be strictly enforced...

    Hold on a sec.

    If the police thought he was too handsome and asked him to jump on the next plane out of here, who decided that? I presume its mostly a male dominated police force. Homosexuality is probably outlawed in their country and any leaning towards it would be frowned upon.
    The cops need to be arrested and have their dirty mickies cut off.

    My mother was in Saudi arabia for 3 months and if west inappropriate clothes (women only) they whip you on the ankles on the street. She seen two Canadians walking around in tank tops and short shorts and the religious police whipped them 30 times each. Theyre hatred because they all prisoners who learned the Koran to get out of prispn

    To be quite fair, I'm 100% hetrosexual and even I can see that the guy is dreamy.

    The exact same thing happened to me! Only it was groping in the Ukraine and I got arrested instead of being handsome in Dubai and being let go.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,648 ✭✭✭Cody Pomeray


    In a twisted way, I can vaguely see the Saudi police's point here.

    I mean if you really don't want your women squirting at the gash during Friday prayers, you gotta get rid.

    I would say some of the photos look a little airbrushed, but the guy is clearly extremely goodlooking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,070 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    Yeah, gotta give him a sploosh.

    Pretty muted and light hearted reaction to his expulsion , I bet it wouldn't be so if this happened to a female.

    So that's how I'd look with a tan..


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,464 ✭✭✭Celly Smunt


    I'd let him bang my girlfriend just so i could say i'm banging someone who he banged.That's how hot he is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,666 ✭✭✭tritium


    My god! Comments here are so sexist!

    Treating him like an object!

    Indicative of the matriarcial misandry prevalent in our culture!

    How would some posters feel if it was their brother/ son/ boyfriend/ long lost grandfather

    What about him as a person....,,

    (OK, technically I don't give a toss about the above, just wanted to see if it actually felt liberating when certain regular posters vented in this way on similar threads about women :)

    (it didn't though :( ))


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,001 ✭✭✭✭opinion guy


    It would be such a great story to be able to tell...imgaine he relocates somewhere and people are asking him why he moved......'well.....funny story that.........'

    Sure that's nothing, my good looks have been deemed a weapon of mass destruction in 3 middle east countries.

    So hot he's nuclear.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,846 ✭✭✭Fromthetrees


    He's handsome alright but he's no Pat Rabbitte.

    The mere thought alone of getting just 20 minutes of fatty fatty boom boom time with Mr. Pat is enough to keep me in orgasms for a few lifetimes.

    Arabian Business, which has also fingered Al Gala as being one of the trio,
    Snigger.

    He reminds me of Billy Zane, back when he had hair.

    He is ridiculously good looking, but in a pretty boy knid of way.

    I will offer him refuge in my bed.

    Us Irish men are far better looking- no wonder there's so many of us leaving the country :pac:

    He has nice eyes that's it...sooo air brushed and sooooo big headed to have so many pics posed for I mean who does that unless you think you are soooo good looking you need to ...so my verdict ....not worth it ...give me bit o muck any day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,269 ✭✭✭GalwayGuy2


    Am I the only one who thinks he isn't that great :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,327 ✭✭✭Madam_X


    I think he's very good-looking in the same way as I'd think a woman was very good-looking. Admiration but no stirring of loins for me.

    Seriously? I've read some cracking whataboutery on this forum - think this tops it.
    Don't you worry - the system of women as second-class citizens in Saudi Arabia probably makes up for it.

    I have never seen the bolded stuff as a result of guys simply saying a woman is beautiful/sexy here. :confused:
    Think you might be getting confused with when there are discussions like naked pictures of women being posted to the net without their consent, the darker side of prostitution, etc. Biiiiiiiiit of a difference.

    He is an actor which would explain the number of photo's. I hear that part of that job involves standing in front of a camera.

    He looks like Justin Bieber with a Zac Efron haircut apparently.

    He's just too ridiculously good looking to post in AHs anymore.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 423 ✭✭bacon n eggs


    Now Zac Efron I would, only now though not in younger eewww, now bit more rugged.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 595 ✭✭✭Steve O


    Very good looking lad in fairness.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,555 ✭✭✭Kinski


    But...what would they do if he hadn't been foreign and they couldn't just kick him out? Cut his nose off?
