And????
Why were you quoting yourself? You've gone very enigmatic there altogether Danny...
At least you learned something about the ability for people to live western lives (sic) in a Muslim country and that all countries in the Middle east aren't as intolerant as Saudi Arabia look quoting myself again ... and you as well (sic)

Boy - you're great at pointing out irrelevancies there Danny such as geography and photos in nightclubs lol
How about discussing the actual issue of Burqas and Hijabs and oppression based on gender.
And why the heck are you quoting yourself? Do explain
I see you have at least learned the use of (sic)!

With that attempt at logic Boards.ie may just pack up and close shop. Good to see you have adopted an army of half a million supporters who fully back your version of reality.
The issue at hand is not about your opinion of anyone country as stated previously, but rather gender based oppression for those who do not have the choice as whether go running in the park with a tracksuit with their head uncovered etc if they so wish. It is that same issue which these self same women are made to do the same in other countries whether they wish to or otherwise.
Withering on about random snaps in nightclubs (which interestingly by law exclude the locals) showing expats is largely irrelevant. Try that type of thing outside those nightclubs which are set up for foreigners or in public and you'll get a short sharp shock and the full weight of religous fundamentalism down on top of you.
I'm glad I ve enthused you to do some reading, the law and how it's adhered to are 2 very different things , the changes that the UAE are going through are going to take time. The same way that this country moved from being a religious theocracy [where women were treated as second class citizens] in all but name 40 years ago to one now in which the pope is seen as a deviant and women no longer take **** . Double standards have to exist in systems where religion has a say. So I repeat apply for your passport and travel. Parochialism causes fear of others. It's a big big world my friend full of differing perceptions and opinions , and we have more in common as humans than differences. If you want any advice on the best places to stay or eat in Dubai or Abu dhabi just DM me I'd be happy to assist in broadening your horizons ... 0 -

I lived there for years so I actually know what I'm talking about.

Roger Hassenforder actually provided some links to disprove your assertion that it was horse**** that someone was arrested for kissing in restaurant.
Care to admit you were wrong?
And the other things I mentioned have all happened in Dubai.
Now if you want I can trawl through and find even more like the Aussie guy arrested for sharing facebook post about charity.
And of course you claim it only happens if someone is drunk out of their skulls on the streets or when your assertions of horse**** are disproven you then claim these are isolated cases.
Care to tell us how many similar isolated cases of arrests for swearing on social media, arrests for public shows of affection, sharing charity posts on internet, etc, etc have occurred in the Western world ?
If there is any horse**** around here it is coming from you.
I take it you are a male because females I have known that have even just visited Dubai have not such a good opinion of the place.
And yes I know guys that have been pi**ed out of their trees in hotels and in compounds or shagged all round them, but that still does not mean you can live a complete western way of live in the place as you claim.
All one has to do is look at the weird laws.Dannyriver wrote: »At least you learned something about the ability for people to live western lives (sic) in a Muslim country and that all countries in the Middle east aren't as intolerant as Saudi Arabia look quoting myself again ... and you as well (sic)
No one is arguing that everywhere is like Saudi, but you.
But your assertion that one can lead a completely normal western live is horse****.
Some countries are more free than others, but none are the same as what we would term western countries of today.
Actually Bahrain would have been one of the most liberal, although they made sure there was no Arab spring.
Maybe that was a damn good thing.
But even in Bahrain one cannot live a completely free western style lifestyle.
Homosexuality is considered an offence in Bahrain, public shows of affection are frowned upon, open displays of religious beliefs that are non-Muslim can be seen as offensive.
Anyway stop comparing them to what western countries were like a hundred years ago or in Ireland's case 40 odd years ago.0 -
