Wonderful.. you took the bait, I was longing for some one to comment on my english because I have some telling things to say.
Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria was pure German who spoke very basic English, conversing mainly in German with his wife. It was also rumoured (although it was all HUSH HUSH in the royal circles) that Queen Victoria's first language was not English but German because her mother was pure German who spoke very little English and it is a known fact that a mother passes her first language to her children. Added to all that the influence of the German-speaking (half) aunt and maids who were prominent in Victoria's early years, baring also in mind that English didn't have its current prestige in the 1830s.
We are not talking here about 'bloody foreigners coming to our country', we are talking about Royals whom the people of the UK then would lower their gaze and bow their heads when they went to meet them.
So I really suggest to flush the english language card down the toilet and lets face the music.
I could well imagine a setting of a banquet of dignitaries where Prince Albert is standing to give the after-dinner speech, he goes... "me hope nice you time have", then the attendees would give him a round of applause while giggling, then after he goes ... "Danke schön, .......oops.... me mean thank you"
It was rather a big embarrassment for the royals to have so much foreign blood in the family particularly of German type, therefore a decision was made not to repeat that mistake again and probably it was the reason why the late princes Diana who was pregnant by Dudi at the time met her tragic fate. Could you imagine the half brother of the heir to the thrown, not German this time, but bloody Arab!!!

by the way my comment was perfectly fair, it was not clear by any means what you meant. it's not my fault if english is not your first language and you sometimes have trouble expressing yourself. it's not my first language either by the way, but i'm sure you couldn't give a toss about that since you're in the 'victim' corner....

Spot on. I subscribe to no religion, and without opening a can of worms with my views on the subject, Wars, atrocities, control of the common masses etc I think that being the best human being possible for friends, family and people in need doesn't make me a bad chap.

Strangely enough you're not the first person to think along those lines:

A few centuries ago people's conscious seemed quite comfortable with the practice of slavery, so what has this kind of God got to say about that?????

Some fairly decent posts on this page. If anybody states that Western society or specifically the UK is 'bad,' I'd disagree. There are many good things such as human rights for all (most of the time), the right to appeal for things and you could say a sense of justice to name a few.
Of course, there are other pressing issues in the UAE that also require urgent attention but due to people, in particular the (influential) locals who turn a blind eye not wanting to upset or step on the wrong toes of anyone. Even they are acutely aware of being 'flagged' up if you get my drift and that's what I think anyway in this...
Also, I'd probably suggest avoiding links to youtube as it may weaken any argument for both sides and somebody else posts a counter link and going round in circles...
Furthermore, I'd be the first to say Muslims score many 'own-goals' in all walks of life and really do set a bad examples to guests from the UK and elsewhere who may well be experiencing life in an Islamic based country for the first time.
But but but, coming back from the park and heading towards the car today, a British family, brummies by their accents, of 3, parents and possibly a grown up daughter were coming in at sunset. I was busy packing the stuff in the back of my car and I heard 3 year old next to my car saying to his pops "dad, why isn't that lady wearing a shirt?" How odd, unless he is a reader of this thread, he even knows what is acceptable or not so to say it's mainly tourists who violate the code here is inaccurate. Probably 50-50 I'd say

As for the own-goals thing... I completely agree. I'm Muslim (and English) and score a few own-goals here and there unfortunately.

They are sold a dream as some expats are and believe they can help their families where as most are an expendable abused commodity. Do you actually have any valid points to make as I now just find you tedious
